Add Premium Inventory

This help topic explains how included inventory works in MYOB Business and how to add Premium Inventory so that you can have an unlimited number of inventory items.

Included inventory versus Premium Inventory

AddAdd

The difference between the included inventory in MYOB Business and Premium Inventory is how many inventoried items you can create:

  • with the included inventory, you can track up to 10 inventoried items

  • with Premium Inventory, you can track an unlimited number of inventoried items.

This is based on the number of active items that have the I track stock for this item option selected:

An active item is an item that has the Inactive item option deselected. When Inactive item is selected, the item no longer appears in reports and some selection lists and is no longer counted as part of the number of inventoried items you're using. For more information, see Deactivating and reactivating items.

Selecting I track stock for this item unlocks the ability to track the quantity of you have on hand of the item, to automatically update that on-hand quantity whenever you buy or sell the item and to use inventory reporting.

If you want to track more than 10 inventoried items, you have to add Premium Inventory to your MYOB subscription and pay an additional fee.Example

You're using the included inventory features in MYOB Business and you use 10 inventoried items. This means that each of these items have the I track stock for this item option selected.

You have other items in your business that don't have this option selected. They're not counted towards the number of inventoried items you're using. If you wanted to track the on-hand quantities of these additional items, you would need to add Premium Inventory.
