The issue being discussed in this article is:
When attempting to create a QuickBooks item, you get the following message:
The item 'Samsung:LN37B750' has a parent item 'Samsung' of a different item type. Parent and child types must be of same type.
The following is the screenshot of the error:
The manufacturer and model will vary based on the Item you are trying to create.
The following is the cause:
You are trying to create a child item of a different type when you have the relevant parent item created as a different item type.
In this example, the parent item, Samsung, is "Non-Inventory," but you are trying to create a parent and child combination of Samsung as an "Inventory" item.
The following is the resolution:
You either need to change all your existing items for that parent Item to "Inventory" within QuickBooks or choose to push over the current item as "Non-Inventory."
