Account management

The value of the various inventories should all be in QB - but how and where can vary.

Finished goods for resale usually should be 'inventory items', and there should be a current asset account for 'inventory items' that contains nothing but these items.

Your raw materials can also be defined and itemized as 'inventory items', or they can be managed as 'non-inventory items' and the value be held in a separate asset account for raw materials. 

If the production takes some time or goes thru stages then you may also need another separate asset for WIP (work-in-process) to account for stuff that doesn't fit into either the raw or finished category.

The answer to your question - where your 'inventory adjustment' posting goes -  depends on how you are now accounting for raw matls & wip.  If the raw matly that go into the Fg are non-inventory current asset then that is the account where the adjustment goes.

Im skipping the discussion of 'assembly inventory items' for now.
