3 questions in QBP2005 about inventory sections

These questions relate to QB premier 2005 and are issues I just cant seem to figure out.

  1. Why is the non-inventory items units of measure the same for items that are puchased, and items that are sold ? The regular inventory itmes have different units for purchase and sale, while the non-inventory items don't have this option ? Is there a way around this inconsistency ?

  1. If I wish to use units of measure in non-inventory items is it more productive to set up a or b ?

a) units of measure (package size) in the description of the product b) make up item custom feilds for the package size

  1. How can I record a non-inventory part with a foreign price for only purchasing the product, however for sale have it in my domestic currency ? Most of our products are paid (purchased) in foreign currency since they are imported, then sold in the local currecny, but in the non-inventory items I can't see this option, that is crazy ! Someone help.

  1. There actually are no units for non-inventory items because the system does not track them. There is no inconsistency.

  1. Whichever works best for you. My choice would be (a).

  2. The cost of a purchased item is determined by the vendor's bill and the currency depends on the vendor. You don't HAVE to specify a foreign-currency selling price - so don't. What "option" do you not see for non-inventory parts? Did you check "This item is purchased for and sold to a specific customer:job"? In my opinion that's a very misleading caption, so perhaps that's what you're missing.

currency ?
