When importing a Sales Invoice or Sales Order to Business Central and receive the below error message.

Type must be equal to 'Inventory' in Item: No.=XXXX. Current value is 'Service'.

Cause

The line item has been setup as a Service type Item. This can be verified by checking the Item Card for the field ‘Type’.
Service Type Item

Service Items are non-physical items that are often represnted in units of time. Therefore service items cannot be assigned to locations or inventoried. Make sure you have not mapped Location for any line that has a service item. As with any error, it can help to manually enter the transaction to see what field causes the error.
