Quickbooks won't allow me to enter inventory for a new company no 10-24-2007

 I've been using this software for a while, and I just opened up my
second company.

For some reason, this time, all I can add for new items are Service
Items, NON-Inventory Items, and the usual rest (other, taxable,group,
etc.).

I've even gone back and checked the other company I've been running
for years. All my products are set up as an 'Inventory Part'. Why is
it I can't create an 'investory part' with the new company?

Did I do something in the initial interview that made QB think I was
running a service only company, or am I going crazy?

Yes in the initial setup there is a box to tick for item inventory
control

Go to Edit>>Preferences and go to the Inventory & Items section. On the
Company Preferences tab enable the Inventory and Purchase orders are active
option. That will add back in the missing Item types for inventory.

Thanks. Next time I'll just ask before I spend an hour pulling my
hair out.

Cheers.
