# Stop materials from being automatically added to invoices from purchase orders

## Problem

When you receive a purchase order (PO), the materials on the PO are added to the invoice for the associated job. You want to stop this.

## Solution

### Stop materials from being automatically added to invoices from purchase orders

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** The *Option to add inventory items to invoices* configuration is part of the Inventory module. If your account has the Purchasing module without the Inventory module, this configuration is not available. Contact [Technical Support](http://go.servicetitan.com/ask) for details.

1. Go to the navigation bar and click **Settings**.
2. From the side menu, select **Inventory**.
3. Select **Configuration**.
4. Click the **Inventory** tab.
5. Uncheck the box next to *Option to add inventory items to invoices*.
6. Save your changes.

### Stop materials from being copied to invoices for one purchase order type

To keep the *Option to add inventory items to invoices* configuration enabled and stop the copy behavior for a single PO type, clear the PO type setting instead.

1. Go to the navigation bar and click **Settings**.
2. From the side menu, select **Purchasing** or **Inventory**, then click **Purchase Order Types**.
3. Next to the PO type you want to change, click **Edit**.
4. Uncheck the box next to *Copy Purchase Order items to Invoice when Received*.
5. Click **Save Changes**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** This setting does not apply to Requisition, Replenishment, or Consignment PO types.
