What is the difference and definition between supplies and job materials when tracking expenses?

Welcome to the Community. REKT222.

I'll share what I know about products and services you track in QuickBooks Online.

QuickBooks allows you to create an Inventory item to keep track of the quantities of products you buy and sell. You can also add a Non-inventory item to track products that you purchase but don't sell directly to customers. For instance, the wax and nail polish you used to provide hands-on services.

If you need to add a Non-inventory item, you can follow these steps below:

1. Go to Get paid & pay or Sales, then select Products & services.
2. Click on New.
3. Select Non-inventory for the product info.
4. Fill in all the necessary information for your non-inventory item.
5. Then, hit Save and close.

You can check out this article for more details: Add product and service items to QuickBooks Online.

I also recommend reaching out to an accountant if you need guidance in choosing the right category and account for the product and service items. You can also visit this link to learn more: Group your products and services into different categories.
