Brief |
Physical things, such as bicycles, telephones, and desks, for which you want to be able to use all inventory processes. This can also include non-physical items, such as software licenses and subscriptions, if the items have identification numbers, such as serial numbers. You can fully track item values and availability in inventory. |
Typically, non-inventory items are physical things, such as bolts or pens, that a business consumes but does not want to fully track in inventory. For example, because they're low-cost items and are only used internally.fvcdscs
