Shopify Store Owner - Newbie to QuikBooks How do I link (and/or reconcile) my expenses for inventory purchases to the inventory sold?

info-gloriapatri · ‎May 22, 2024

I.e. I purchase 6 dresses through a supplier and add my receipt as an expense. How am I linking that expense to the specific inventory? I'm just wondering at tax time, how will I be able to determine what inventory can be written off. Am I over complicating this?

Side question, should all products go under "inventory assets" or should I have sub categories for dresses, jewelry, packaging, etc..

Hi there,

Congrats on joining the Community. Reconciliation can be a lengthy process and I'm glad you're using QuickBooks to help simplify the process. The program is designed to help you save time so you can do the things that you enjoy the most. I'll be happy to steer you on the right path.

Based on what you've shared, I recommend getting in touch with an accounting professional for expert advice on how to proceed with the reconciliation.

Consider having a 3rd party inventory management app as the connector.
