Add materials to your pricebookLast updated on 09/09/2022
Materials are parts and components in your pricebook that are used on a job. You can add pricebook materials directly to invoices, or you can add them to pricebook services and equipment for accurate pricing and job costing.
Things to know
To add materials in bulk, add items with the Pricebook Excel template. This is the best option if you are importing your pricebook for the first time or if you need to make mass changes to your pricebook.
The GL Account field for pricebook items changes based on your activated accounting feature—General Ledger Account (for QuickBooks Online), Income Account (for QuickBooks Desktop), or Intacct Item GL Group (for Intacct Integration).
To set prices based on billing rates, markups, and surcharges for maximum profitability, Run the Price Setup Wizard.
