Inventory management - Assign user permissions to only access inventory?

BostonA · ‎February 28, 2022

Our inventory on-hand has quadrupled since COVID began because we have to stock up on electronics that are backordered. I recently upgraded to QB Plus at $80/month so I can manage inventory then hired a temp to scan in all of our products and reconcile inventory.

I added him as a QB user but it looks like he either has to see all of my financials or absolutely nothing. There is no in-between. Obviously, I'm not going to open up all of my books to a temporary employee, so now I'm stuck.

The $50/month plan is more than we need and now the Quickbooks chat people are telling me that I have to upgrade to the $180/month plan to give this person access to inventory only which means that I'm paying $130/month for inventory management and $50/month for bookkeeping software.

What am I missing here?

I would recommend to use a 3rd party app as a workaround. You don't need to upgrade to QBO Advanced. You can consult the app that provides whether you can use QBO Essentials to lower your costs if possible.

The fee starts from $ 40/month for 1 mobile device + 2 users.

@Fiat Lux - ASIA - Which app are you referring to that I should consult? Is this a Quickbooks app?
