View source for GL Entries for SME Inventory

Inventory items can be maintained solely in SME and this setting is only for items maintained in SME, not for items in both SME and QuickBooks.  This approach uses journal entries to keep QuickBooks Accounting up to date financially while SME tracks inventory counts. 

<br>To configrue SME to correctly record the inventory accounting transactions in QuickBooks you must set the correct options in SQLink. Set the '''Use General Ledger entries for Default Material Item''' as shown in the image below. With this setting, SQLink will create General Ledger Account entries in QuickBooks when items are received on SME Purchase Orders (Debit Inventory Asset / Credit Accounts Payable) and when you invoice material in SME (Credit inventory Asset / Debit Cost of Goods Sold). These settings require that the default material item must be a Non-Inventory item. You can use the default established when SME/SQLink is installed, or you can set up an item of your own choosing, but it must be a Non-Inventory item.

<br>Using this option applies only if you keep your inventory items in SME only, not in both SME and QuickBooks.

== Purchase Order for Inventory and Non-Inventory Items ==
If you create a PO in SME, the PO will be in SME only.
Receive an item on the PO and on your next sync, a bill will go to QB for the item you received. The image below shows the bill in QuickBooks for the SME Purchase Order #4128.

== To Convert from syncing items to journal/GL entry ==
If you are an existing SME customer syncing SME items with QB items, you can run the following script to "disconnect" SME items from QB item.
Note: USE WITH CAUTION, Run backups prior, should be ONLY done by qualified database administrators or SME support.
Run these queries:
-          To find the SMP_Item QB UID
Select UID, Name, InventoryID From Inventory Where Name Like 'SMP_Item%'
 
-          Put the QB Item InventoryID in the Where and run the query.
Disable Trigger All on Inventory;
Update Inventory
Set         QBExport = 'false',
                QBInventory = 'false',
                QBModified = NULL,
                QBItem = 'false',
                InventoryID = ''
Where
Name Not Like 'SMP_Item%';  ---  or whatever your default item is named
Enable Trigger All on Inventory;
