If my inventory items were loaded incorrectly as non-inventory items and there are over 5000 items so changing each item would be a tedious way of doing it, what to do

I understand the importance of changing the inventory item to non-inventory in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @accounts-idealag.

QuickBooks doesn't have a direct way to change the item type from Inventory to Non-inventory. Instead, you'll have to zero out the quantity and make the inventory item inactive. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Click the Gear icon, then select Product and Services.
3. Find the inventory item. Make sure the item has zero quantity.
4. Select the drop-down arrow beside Edit and select Make inactive.
5. Click Yes to confirm.
6. Once done, you can create a new non-inventory item to replace it.
