Accounting for Separate Inventory Types

Q. How can I separate out certain types of inventory for the purposes of accounting for example Batteries?

Answer:

You can do this by creating a new Product Code for just those inventory items, then in the Part Record change all existing inventory and new inventory to the new Product Code. Your reporting can then be filtered by Product Code to give the data you want. You can further segregate inventory by creating special GL accounts for the different Product Code, then all of those transactions will post to their unique GL account.
