Receiving Inventory

Hi, @klong82

I'm here to provide details about tracking inventory in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

For your first question, since you don't resell the hay, you can choose the Non-Inventory Part as the Item Type. Here's how to do it:

1. In QBDT, go to the Lists menu at the top, then Item List.
2. On the Item List window, select Item, then New.
3. Choose Non-Inventory Part as the Item Type.
4. Enter the other necessary information in the desired fields.
5. Hit Save to complete.

For more information about managing and entering new inventory in QBDT, consider checking out this article: Add, edit, and delete items.

For the second question, you can process an inventory adjustment (quantity on hand). This is how you track the decrease or increase in product quantity that isn't a sale or purchase.

For the detailed steps on how to do it, please refer to this article: Adjust your inventory quantity or value in QuickBooks Desktop.
