Purchasing Inventory Items for Jobs
An important point here is that you cannot purchase stock items or

using inventory; you would just include a description of the item.

If you need to apply a purchased stock item to a job, you can include it in the
service you provide through Sales/Invoicing. Another way is to use the
Inventory Adjustments window to decrease your inventory, and apply the
adjustment to the job.

when you purchase it, but not a stock or assembly item.
