3 questions in QBP2005 about inventory sections

[Bamboo Sticks in Gelly]

These questions relate to QB premier 2005 and are issues I just cant
seem to figure out.

1. Why is the non-inventory items units of measure the same for items
that are puchased, and items that are sold ? The regular inventory itmes
have different units for purchase and sale, while the non-inventory items
don't have this option ? Is there a way around this inconsistency ?

2. If I wish to use units of measure in non-inventory items is it more
productive to set up a or b ?

a) units of measure (package size) in the description of the product
b) make up item custom feilds for the package size

3. How can I record a non-inventory part with a foreign price for only
purchasing the product, however for sale have it in my domestic currency ?
Most of our products are paid (purchased) in foreign currency since they are
imported, then sold in the local currecny, but in the non-inventory items I
can't see this option, that is crazy ! Someone help.

1. There actually are no units for non-inventory items because the
system does not track them. There is no inconsistency.

2. Whichever works best for you. My choice would be (a).

3. The cost of a purchased item is determined by the vendor's bill and
the currency depends on the vendor. You don't HAVE to specify a
foreign-currency selling price - so don't. What "option" do you not
see for non-inventory parts? Did you check "This item is purchased
for and sold to a specific customer:job"? In my opinion that's a very
misleading caption, so perhaps that's what you're missing.
