Creating items

In MYOB AccountEdge terms, the word item refers to:

• A physical unit that your company may buy, sell or inventory. Such an item can also be built using other items; if it is, it's known in AccountEdge terms as a finished item. Such an item can also be one of the building blocks for a finished item; if it is, it's known as a component.

• One of your company's services that you'd like to include on item sales layouts. Such an item is often referred to as a service item.

• A physical unit that your company sells (and may or may not buy or inventory) that you'd like to include on time billing sales layouts.
