Topic: "Type" Can this be changed on an existing item?
|
| By: Guest | Posted on: Dec 11 2025 at 09:43:47 AM | | I tried changing an item to MISC but the item's cost was still being included in the inventory report. So, can this be changed? | |

So, yes, the "Type" can be changed, but it won't automatically zero your "OnHand" quantity.
You need to either change the quantity to 0 directly in the item (and save) or you need to use the "adjust qty" feature to zero your stock quantity. | |

Other MISC items, maybe consumables where you don't want to automatically track the In and Out, can still have a value so if you have 100 of those consumable items on the shelf and they cost $1 each then they have a value of $1 * 100
So you'd need to zero the OnHand quantity to remove that value from your inventory. | |
