Inventory Management

Manage your inventory efficiently and accurately with QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions. Everything from building assemblies to fulfilling sales order and processing returns is a breeze with Enterprise Solutions.

Track Hundreds of Thousands of Parts or Service Items

Give your business room to grow with the capacity to add and track hundreds of thousands of inventory, non-inventory, or service items. That's more than six times the capacity of any other QuickBooks product.

Create Bills of Materials to Track Costs and Components

Create Bills of Materials ("BOMs") or "kits" to track the costs and inventory for assembled products more accurately.

• Create BOMs with the Build Assemblies feature.
• Include both material and non-material costs - such as labor and overhead - on BOMs to accurately track costs.
• As you build finished goods, Enterprise Solutions automatically deducts component items from your inventory.
• See how many finished goods you can build based on your current inventory.
• Alerts let you know when it's time to re-order, or when there aren't enough components for an assembly.

Unit of Measure Conversion

You may buy the same item in one unit of measure, stock it in another, and sell it in yet another. Enterprise Solutions can automate the conversion from one unit of measure to another as the item moves through your business, helping you avoid costly mistakes. With a click, you can instantly convert from cases to pallets, or whatever units of measure you define. The correct units are then printed on invoices, purchase orders, sales orders, pick lists, and packing slips to help streamline your workflows and enable you to easily buy and sell products in precisely the way your vendors and customers prefer.³³

Available to Promise

The Available to Promise feature puts important inventory data on one simple screen.

• Easily drill down to see details on which customers have ordered the product, or view open purchase orders that have been placed with vendors.

Backorder Tracking

Easily see backordered items on purchase orders, invoices and other sales forms.

• Backorder Tracking columns on sales orders, invoices, and other sales forms show exactly what still needs to be shipped.
• Backorder Tracking columns on purchase orders show what you are still expecting from vendors.

Customizable Price Levels

Keep your prices competitive without leaving money on the table by varying your per-item discounts to maximize sales and move inventory. Set as many as 100 levels of pricing discounts per item. Each level can discount by a flat dollar amount or percentage. QuickBooks automatically applies the right discounts to estimates and invoices.

• Create up to 100 price levels for each item.
• Discount each level by a flat dollar amount or percentage.
• Define different pricing levels for each type of customer"such as high-volume, preferred, or retail customers"and link customers to a level.
• Automatically round your prices so they end in .99, .49, .00, or .50
• Define your own rounding convention to have your prices end in .97 or .47, for example.

Track Manufacturer's Part Number

Reduce ordering errors and avoid the hassle of constantly looking up your vendor's part number.

• Store the manufacturer's part number as part of your item definition, making it easier to re-order inventory.

• Returned Materials Authorization (RMA) helps process returns more efficiently with end-to-end tracking.
• Non-conforming Materials Worksheet helps document materials that don't meet specifications.
