- Check whether the item should be tracked as stock, a service, a low-value asset or a fixed asset. The label must match actual use and accounting classification.
- Check the form and save the item. Close the form before adding or editing another item.
- Continue to the page using these details and check the record in the transaction's context, including its effect on reports.

Practical example
“Accounting consultancy” is a service, while “Archive box” is goods. Check the type before using items in documents and stock movements. The selected type supports the transaction workflow and does not replace the document’s accounting treatment.
