5.3 Creating New Inventory and Non-Inventory Items
The Create New Item screen allows you to add a new Item to your database and to specify how you
want to track each item (by Serial Number, Lot, Date Code and/or Pallet).
What is an Item? - Items represent the actual material or good that you will have in your inventory. For
example, you might create an Item entry for Mouse - Wireless. Then you can add inventory, or quantity,
to that item. If you are using the Enterprise or Professional version of this software, you can also create
items that are non-inventory. This is useful if you need to create an item for marketing pamphlets,
counter displays or anything you need to have, but for which you don't need to track quantity.
What is a Non-Inventory Item? - A non-inventory item is anything you order or receive, but do not want
to track the location and quantity of. An example of a non-inventory item might be marketing materials
like a product flyer that is taken to trade shows or put in product boxes. Once you are out you may never
buy more of that item and you don't need to know how many are left. You may need to include non-
inventory items on a purchase order and verify receipt to have a payment paper trail but you do not need
to keep track of the item after it is received. InventoryControl allows you to add non-inventory items onto
purchase orders in the Pro and Enterprise versions.

When you are setting up your software for the first time, you may want to import your items rather than
adding them one at a time through this screen. For information on importing information into your
database, please refer to the
topic.
