Dynamics 365 Business Central - Item Types Explanation

Item Types in Business Central

TypeInventory Tracked?Physical Item?Typical Use
InventoryYesYesGoods bought/sold/stored in a warehouse
Non-InventoryNoUsually yesItems purchased for direct use, not stocked
ServiceNoNoLabor, fees, intangible services

Placement Explanations

1. Inventory

Used for physical goods that must be quantity-tracked in your warehouse or storage locations. Posting transactions with this type affects the inventory valuation ledger and requires inventory adjustments. Typical scenario: "A company sells physical products and needs to track stock levels and costs."

2. Non-Inventory

Used for items that are purchased and resold but not warehouse-tracked - often consumables, packaging, or drop-shipped goods. No inventory ledger entries are created. Typical scenario: "Items are purchased directly for a job or customer without being stocked."

3. All

In BC, "All" appears in filter/selection contexts (e.g., item tracking code setup, where "All" means the rule applies to every transaction type - inbound and outbound). Typical scenario: "A tracking or posting rule should apply regardless of item type."


Common Mistakes

  • Confusing Non-Inventory with Service - Non-Inventory can still be a physical product; Service is strictly intangible.
  • Using Inventory for everything - This creates unnecessary warehouse complexity and overhead for items never stocked.
  • Misplacing "All" - It is not a standalone item type for creating item cards; it's a filter/scope value used in configuration contexts.
