Choose a product type: storable, consumable or service

Steps

1. Open Inventory, go to Products > Products. The Type column shows STORABLE, CONSUMABLE or SERVICE for every product.
2. Open a Storable Product, such as Wireless Mouse. SiaOne counts it: On Hand shows how many you have. It is received into stock when it arrives, delivered when you sell it, and its value appears in the stock reports.
3. Open a Consumable, such as Demo Hand Soap Refill. You can buy it and sell it, but SiaOne does not keep a stock count for it. When you buy it, the cost goes straight to an expense.
4. Open a Service, such as Installation & Setup. A service is work, not goods. There is nothing to receive or deliver, so it never appears on a goods receipt or a delivery note.
5. When you create a product, choose the Product Type first. See Create a product.

What happens next

Give a storable product some stock: receive goods from a vendor or count stock.
