There seems to be some confusion about this issue in QuickBooks, so here is the answer...
Yes, it is possible to use non-inventory parts on your QuickBooks invoices and sales orders. Even better, you can use non-inventory parts on quotes and purchase orders too!

KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INVENTORY AND NON-INVENTORY PART
The expectation is that when you set up an item as an inventory part in QuickBooks, you are concerned with tracking and managing an on-hand quantity of that item and keeping an inventory of it on a regular basis.
Not so with a non-inventory part. While it looks and behaves very similarly to an inventory part, you won't find any reference to on hand quantities or inventory asset accounts. But that doesn't stop you from using a non-inventory part on the various QuickBooks forms - quotes, purchase orders, sales orders (Premier and Enterprise only) and invoices.
