The minimum required information is the Item Name. However, you can also choose to add the SKU, a description of the product, Sale Price, Cost Price and use the drop-down Tax Rate menu to choose an applicable tax rate.
If you wish to remove the item from your Inventory drop-down list when you create invoices, check-off the “Hide from Invoicing” option.

SKU stands for “Stock Keeping Unit”. This is an optional code you can add to your Inventory Items.
