Glad to have you here, Shelbz0789.

 

Allow me to share some information about changing non-inventory items to inventory.

 

In QuickBooks, it's possible to switch non-inventory items to inventory. However, doing so can affect your reporting because it will create a closing journal entry (JE) for the products that will be overwritten.

 

Instead of editing, we can either delete the non-inventory items or inactivate them if the items are associated with at least one transaction. Then, recreate the product with the correct type.

 

Here's how to delete the item:

  1. From the Lists menu, select Item List.
  2. Select the item you want to delete.
  3. From the menu bar, select Edit and then click Delete Item.

You're unable to delete several items or the entire item list at once.

 

Here's how to inactivate the items:

  1. Click Lists and then Item List.
  2. Highlight the item.
  3. Right-click on your mouse, choose Make Item Inactive.

 

Once done, you can follow these steps in adding an inventory item:

  1. Go to the Lists menu and then select Item List.
  2. On the Item List window, select Item and then click New.
  3. Select the type of item you want to create.
  4. Fill out the item fields.
  5. Select Save.

 

To learn more about handling your items in QuickBooks, you can check out this article: Add, Edit, and Delete Items.

 

Additionally, I've included an article that'll help customize your sales reports. This helps you easily keep track of your data in QuickBooks: Customize Sales Reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

 Also, once you customized the settings, select Memorize to save the report for future use.

 

You can click the Reply button if you have additional questions in managing your items. This way, we can assist you further.
