Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t have Advanced Inventory, where do I start?

I don’t plan to use an inventory scanner. What are my options?

Mobile inventory scanners are great for business owners who want to increase productivity and efficiency. If you don't plan to use one, we recommend the following:

1) Use an Android mobile device: The QuickBooks Desktop: Inventory App is supported on mobile devices with Android 4.4 or higher. You will need to enter the UPC and an inventory serial number instead of scanning barcodes when using an Android mobile device.

2) Use the Print Picklist to track order fulfillment status: You can review inventory availability across sites and create and print corresponding picklists. Once printed and picked, you can update the completed picklists to get the exact inventory status of customer sales orders.
