Inventory Items allow you to create specific items for sale through your House Account or as additional charges to a Guest Folio. These items appear in the drop-down list in Add Charge, see Add Charge, and as Items for sale on your website if you have the POS feature enabled. See POS Module.These items can also be in seen in Daily Reports -  Item Analysis Reports.

Once you create an Inventory Item, you can assign it to an Inventory Group, See Inventory Groups Inventory Groups are used for categorizing Inventory Items in both the Add Charge drop down list and on the Item Analysis Report.

If you are selling the items online, then add Inventory Items images that will appear on your website with the item.

 Inventory Items can also be used in creating packages. See Packages. See an Example for Cape Schanck Lightstation - http://requests.bookingcenter.com/enquiry.phtml?site=SHANCK

There are four Inventory Items that have already been setup for your property and it is important that you do not modify or remove them: RENT, PHONE, NOSHOW and DB. These mandatory Inventory items enable charges to be posted to folios including Room Rent, No Show charges, and Guarantee by Direct Bill.

You can add as many Inventory Items and Inventory Groups as needed.
