How do I label my items as inventory, the option isnt there?
I cant seem to change the type of the item to "inventory". I only have the options of "non-inventory", "services" or "other charge". How do I get the "inventory" option?

First do not change one item type to another, it can not be undone, and it can really mess up your financials since the change takes effect from the start of the file
In preferences>Items & Inventory>Company tab check mark that inventory & purchase orders are active, when you create the first inventory item, QB will create the inventory asset and COGS accounts, and then go for it in a test file first.
The inventory help files and video tutorials are helpful. QuickBooks for Dummies, and Business Accounting for Dummies are great books. There is also a lot of information on my blog, and several "How 2" articles on the basics. QB is an accounting program and has a steep learning curve regardless of what the PR says.
Inventory if mis-entered or mismanaged can be the worst thing to try to correct that there is in QB.
If I've helped, mark it solved.
