Inventory
Fields in red relate to Detailed Cost. They are explained in more detail in our Bulk Import documentation and the cell note in the spreadsheet. If these fields have values entered into them then the associated item will be imported as a Detailed Cost item.
What is 'simple pricing' and 'detailed pricing'?
Simple Pricing is the easiest way to set pricing for individual inventory items. It will apply the same cost and sell settings to Quotes, Tasks, and Invoices.
Detailed pricing allows you to set different sell pricing for Quotes, Tasks, and Invoices, so that the inventory item can be sold at a different price in each scenario. Detailed pricing also allows you to record a unit rate for quotes (the typical number of hours to install an item).

- SOR (Schedule of Rates) lists: can include inventory items and labour, for invoicing goods or services at a specific price.
