need help Understanding Sub Items & other creating Inventory Questions

Depends on wheither or not you wish to track inventory.

Inventory catergories are created the same way you create a product.

You are mixing up the meaning of group and category in QB speak. Both represent completely different things. Items that belong to a category (a sub item) must be of the same type as the category.

Hi

See if it helps

1)It is better to make it an inventory part as on doing so you are able to track your inventory in hand and also adjust or account for inventory loss. 2)Create a inventory category as you would create a new inventory item. To add products into this category, create the new product, check on the 'Subitem of' box and select this category. 3)If we want similar inventory item to appear under one head in your Item list, we do not use 'Group' feature but instead we create them as subitems. The group feature is used if we often enter the same group of items when we record a sale or purchase. Also it is not that you cannot include a item to a group but you cannot make any Item a subitem of s Group which is what you are trying to do here.
