Add the Inventory Types

You must add inventory types (expense, labor, part, part_sn) to capture the information about the time and materials used for the activity. The plug-in stores the reported information about time and expense in the installed pool of the activity. However the parts used and parts returned are stored in the resource and customer pools respectively.
