Non-Inventory Item Management

Items are the goods and services you sell to customers. NetSuite has several options of types of items you can create and manage. For our purposes, we will generally use only two of the many options:
  • Something you stock and sell, for which you want to track the amount and value you have on hand as well as the marginal profit and record on the balance sheet, is called an Inventory Item.*
  • For items that can be tracked but not included as inventory and on the balance sheet NetSuite uses Non-Inventory Items.
    • Non-Inventory Items can be used in the following ways:
    • Non-inventory for sale – to sell items you create for each order, such as a conference fee. Non-inventory items for sale are also used for designations to receive donations**
    • Non-inventory for purchase – office supplies you purchase but do not sell
    • Non-inventory for resale – items you purchase from a vendor and then resell but are not considered inventory
*Inventory item management is covered in the Inventory Management QRG. 
**Designation item management is covered in the Designation Item Management QRG.

1. Create a New Non-Inventory Item for Sale

Non-inventory items for sale can be created to help you track and manage items, events, or services. Creating an item allows you to set a price as well as set up the associated responsibility center and income account. This allows a simple creation of an invoice for the sale of an item to trigger the related accounting transactions.
