If you often enter the same group of items when you record a sale or purchase, you can set up the items as a group item. Instead of entering each item individually when you fill out a form, you enter the name of the group item. QuickBooks then fills in the details for the items in the group.
From the Lists menu, choose Item List.
From the Item menu button, choose New.
From the Type drop-down list, choose Group.
In the Group Name/Number field, enter a name or number for the group item.
Enter a description of the group item.
This description appears on sales forms.
(Optional) Select the "Print items in group" checkbox if you
want your customers to see a list of the individual items and their amounts
on your printed forms.
Leave the checkbox clear if you don't want the details of the group to appear
on your printed forms. (You'll still see the details when you view the form
onscreen.)
In the Item column, select the items that you want to include in this
group.
In the Qty column, enter the quantity that you want QuickBooks to enter for
each individual item when you use the group item on a form.
If you do not enter quantities, QuickBooks assumes that the quantity of
each item is 1. You can always change the quantities when you enter a sale
or purchase.

fields that apply to this item.
