"description": "If you add an `inventory` to an item, FreshBooks will decrement that `inventory` value each time you add that item to an invoice and save (or send) it. \n\nHowever, `qty` is seen as the amount of items associated with that sale. Therefore, it will remain unchanged with anytime it is added to an invoice. \n\nFor example: You may have 5 boxes of nails. Each box of nails will have 99 nails in it. Therefore, your `inventory` will equal `5` and your `qty` will equal `99`. \n"
