Setup Guide: Creating Your Items & Services

Updated this week

Overview

Items and services in Copilot CRM help you track everything you bill for — from labor and materials to fees and recurring services. This guide covers how to manually add new items or import an existing list.


Step 1: Open the Items & Services Page

  1. From the left-hand menu, click Resources.

  2. Select Items & Services.

This page lets you add new items or services manually or import them in bulk from a CSV file.


Step 2: Add a New Item or Service Manually

  1. Click the + Items & Services button.

  2. On the Add Items & Services page, choose the Type for your entry:

    • Service

    • Item

    • Labor

    • Other


Step 3: Assign a Category

  1. Under Category, choose an existing category from the dropdown menu.

  2. If you need a new category:

    • Click the + button next to the dropdown.

    • Enter a Category Name and optional Description.

    • Click Save Category to add it.

💡 Organizing items into categories helps with reporting and consistency when creating invoices or quotes.


Step 4: Enter Item or Service Details

Fill out the following fields:

  • Name – The item or service name (e.g., “Lawn Mowing,” “Fertilizer,” “Fuel Surcharge”).

  • Quantity – The standard quantity or unit per use.

  • Unit of Measurement – For example, each, hour, or gallon.

  • Cost – The cost of the item or service.

Optional settings:

  • Taxable: Check this box if this item/service should include tax.

  • Add to All Future Invoices: Apply this item/service automatically to all new invoices created after setup.

    • Important: This setting does not affect existing estimates, events, or invoices.


Step 5: Save Your Item or Service

Once all fields are complete, click Save Item & Service to add it to your account.


Step 6: Import Items & Services from a CSV (Optional)

If you already have a list of items or services in another system, you can import them:

  1. Prepare your data in a .csv file.

  2. From the Items & Services page, choose the Import option.

  3. Follow the prompts to upload and map your CSV fields to Copilot’s item/service structure.


Tip

Use clear, consistent naming for all items and services to make it easy for your team to select the right ones during scheduling, invoicing, and reporting.
