Product SKU's in QuickBooks
A Brew Ninja Product SKU is analagous to an Item in QuickBooks. You should use Non-Inventory items in QuickBooks, as Brew Ninja does not maintain inventory levels in QuickBooks (due to the limited nature of QuickBooks Online's inventory system, and the complext nature of packaging Product SKUs), however it will keep your related Ledger Accounts up to day. Brew Ninja should be the source of truth for your inventory.
