Useful item identity
Use a real SKU or a readable generated item code, a clear name, and a category instead of generic AUTO labels.
Parts, trucks, and equipment
Know what you own, where it is, and what it costs.
850 Work tracks parts, internal cost, customer price, quantity, warehouse and truck stock, transfers, serial numbers, warranties, and measured supplies. New non-labor invoice items can be saved into the catalog so inventory grows from real work instead of one large setup project.
Inventory records
A practical catalog for parts, supplies, and equipment
Cost and price
Keep actual company cost separate from the amount charged to the customer for gross profit reporting.
On-hand quantity
Track the starting amount and current stock instead of treating every learned item as unlimited.
Truck stock
Assign stock to service trucks and review what a technician should have before the day begins.
Transfers
Move stock warehouse to truck, truck to truck, or back to the warehouse with quantity, notes, and a movement log.
Serials and warranties
Store serial numbers, warranty dates, providers, notes, and original purchase or warranty files.
Build as you work
Turn new invoice items into a reusable catalog
- Search before typing. Quick add finds items already used by the business.
- Add a new part when needed. Enter description, quantity, category, actual cost, customer price, and on-hand amount.
- Choose whether to learn it. Save useful non-labor items to inventory; leave one-off charges out.
- Reuse it next time. The saved item appears in quick search with its normal pricing and stock details.
Labor is not inventory. Labor rates and technician cost belong in job and profit calculations, not in stock counts.
Different units
Track eaches, pounds, filters, tools, and serialized assets
An HVAC shop can track refrigerant pounds and cylinders while an electrician tracks breakers and wire, a plumber tracks fittings, and a cleaning company tracks cases or bottles. Unit labels can match the business without exposing unrelated modules.

Frequently asked questions
Can invoice items be added to inventory automatically?
A user can choose to learn a new non-labor line item into inventory with category, actual cost, customer price, quantity, and on-hand amount.
Does labor appear as an inventory item?
No. Labor is tracked separately so labor rate and technician cost can contribute to profit calculations without creating false stock.
Can 850 Work track inventory on multiple trucks?
Yes. It supports truck stock, warehouse-to-truck and truck-to-truck transfers, return-to-warehouse moves, stock checks, and printable truck sheets.
