Items & catalog

Price it once.
Use it everywhere.

A shared catalog of goods and services with sales and purchase prices, default GST/HST rates and per-item accounts — so every invoice and bill is fast, consistent and correctly posted.

Two prices per item

what you sell it for, what you pay for it

Default GST/HST rates

the right rate follows the item onto documents

Bulk import

your whole list from a spreadsheet, in minutes

Speed

The catalog that makes billing fast.

Re-typing descriptions and looking up prices is where invoicing time actually goes. A good catalog deletes that work.

  • Instant document lines — pick an item and the description, price and GST/HST rate fill themselves.
  • Services and goods alike — bill hours, boxes or bundles with the same speed.
  • 4-decimal unit prices — totals match your price list exactly, even at volume.
  • Consistent descriptions — customers see the same wording on every document.
  • Sales and purchase prices — the same item works on invoices and on supplier bills.
Accuracy

Set up once, correct forever.

Item-level defaults are quiet insurance: the right tax and the right account, every time, without thinking.

  • Per-item accounts — income and cost land exactly where your accountant expects.
  • Default GST/HST per item — zero-rated, standard or exempt, applied automatically and overridable per line.
  • Bulk import — bring your existing list from a spreadsheet in minutes.
  • Edit any time — price changes apply to new documents; issued invoices keep the price they were sent with.
  • Used across channels — the same catalog powers manual documents and AI-drafted ones.

Items & catalog — common questions

Can I import my existing item list?

Yes — bulk import from a spreadsheet brings your whole catalog in at once, with names, prices and tax defaults.

Does it handle services as well as products?

Yes — an item can be a service, a physical good or anything you bill repeatedly; both carry prices and GST/HST defaults.

What happens to old invoices when I change a price?

Nothing — documents keep the prices they were issued with. New documents pick up the new price.

Does OneBooks track stock levels?

OneBooks is deliberately not an inventory system: item stock fields are informational only and drive no accounting. The catalog exists to make billing fast and postings correct; if full stock control is central to your business, pair OneBooks with your POS or inventory tool.
