Things to know
If you have Inventory turned on in your ServiceTitan account, it is important to know the following:
You should create a new item for Inventory in QuickBooks Desktop. Duplicate, de-activate existing items, and start tracking Inventory on items that have been duplicated or edit these items in Quickbooks if they already exist to make sure the type is Inventory Part.
If the item already exists in Quickbooks, you should change the item from a Non-Inventory item type to an Inventory Part item.
