In this article, you will learn how to convert items into trackable inventory items in Workiz.

Items and services are reusable line items you create and store on your Workiz account to save yourself time when creating estimates or invoices. You can add useful information like the item's name, cost, and the price you want to charge. On their own, items and services cannot be tracked to monitor stock levels.

While you can create new inventory-managed items from the Inventory dashboard, you can also convert your existing items into inventory items to save yourself some time.

How to convert items into inventory items

1. From the navigation bar, select the profile/gear icon > Settings
2. Under Job Settings, select Items & Products
   
   
3. Select the item or product you want to convert into an inventory item
4. Turn the toggle switch for Manage Inventory on and select Save
   

Once you convert your item into a trackable inventory item, the item will now feature a box icon when adding it to jobs, estimates, or invoices.
