Non Inventory Code used to sell Inventory item

By definition the non-inventory item is something you don't have to keep stock of, labor for example. So if you make an item a non-inventory item there will be no stock control of that item, it just keeps track of when you sell the item. Craig

Maybe you could do this as a parent child setup

Lets say you have gas as the parent item with a SKU of 123

then you create a child items pointing to the item 123 and set the child items as the QTY you create from one unit of the gas, say item 321 is a half litre of has so it would be setup as a qty 2 for the child so if you sold 3 of item 321 it would pull 4 half litres from the parent item leaving one half litre in stock.

Keep in mind if you do it that way it won't be a non-inventory item Craig

I would think you could set it up as a kit or an assembly also. I would imagine that you want to keep track of your inventory, so I agree that setting it up as a non-inventory item may not be the best idea.

If item 999 is 1 litre and it is how you order/receive the gas, then item

888 could be a kit with component 999 and quantity 2 at price whatever. Then when you sell 1 of item 888 you deplete item 999 by 2 and you charge whatever you want. Your inventory would be correct (which is key) and the pricing of item 999 is unaffected.
