Create Item

POST https://api.freshbooks.com/accounting/account/{{accountId}}/items/items

If you add an inventory to an item, FreshBooks will decrement that inventory value each time you add that item to an invoice and save (or send) it.

However, qty is seen as the amount of items associated with that sale. Therefore, it will remain unchanged with anytime it is added to an invoice.

For example: You may have 5 boxes of nails. Each box of nails will have 99 nails in it. Therefore, your inventory will equal 5 and your qty will equal 99.
