In this article, you will learn how to add inventory items to your jobs and invoices.

Workiz’s inventory management lets you see your stock levels and inventory usage from anywhere using any device. Every usage, stock change, or return is logged and easily tracked.

Workiz allows you to have stock levels organized by locations so that you know exactly how much stock (as well as the cost and sale value of that stock) exists in a particular location.

Once you have created inventory items, locations, and assigned user locations, you can begin adding inventory items to jobs and invoices. To learn more about these topics, please see the related articles below:

Adding inventory items to jobs and invoices

Adding inventory items to jobs

1. Open the job you want to add items to
2. Select the Items tab
3. Select Add item
4. Choose one of the items from your price book or list that includes a box icon ( ) icon
5. Specify the location if required

Adding inventory items to invoices

1. Open the invoice you want to add items to
2. Select Add item
3. Choose one of the items from your list that includes a box icon ( ) icon
4. Specify the location if required

What you will see

When adding inventory items to a job, the listed item will feature a gray box icon. This indicates that the unit is synced with your inventory (i.e., the item is being taken from your inventory and added to a job).

If you decide to cancel a job by updating the job status, the box icon will change from gray to red. This indicates that the unit is NOT synced with your inventory (i.e., the item is no longer being taken from your inventory).

If you decide to restore a job that was previously canceled by updating the job status, you will be prompted to sync those job items with your inventory.

After you sync the job items with your inventory, the icons will change from red to gray.

Syncing estimate items to your inventory

Because estimates are only designed to provide your client with a detailed preview of what a job may cost, adding inventory items directly to an estimate will not result in any changes to your actual inventory.

However, if your client approves an estimate and you convert that estimate into a job, you can sync that estimate to a job and ultimately sync the job items to your actual inventory.
