Inventory not connecting to sales or purchases

Question

Been using for several years but did not install the inventory module until yesterday. Sales and purchases are not connecting to the inventory module. Anybody know how to turn that function on?

 Well... that's not how Sage 50 works. It's an online transaction processing system, there's no way to 'save up' all the journal entries into one almighty batch at month end.

 Again, Sage 50 does a complete journal entry for each sale. The selling prices and costs are calculated and recorded line by line, then costs and selling amounts are summed by G/L number and separately recorded in the G/L. (and of course the sales taxes are tallied as well)

 You could keep track of the prices by setting up everything as a 'service item', but not the quantity. 
 The profitability of sales numbers come from the line detail on individual sales transactions, so without that detail data going in, no summary report will come out.
