@dalacor, you might also think about using Disbursements if all your purchases are passed straight through to the customer. That way, you wouldn’t need to worry about inventory at all. Manager will handle markups or discounts automatically, as well. All my purchases of materials fall into this category, and I’ve been very pleased. I renamed the accounts to Billable Expenses so it makes more sense. I have suggested some renaming to @lubos in this thread: Renaming Disbursements tab.
