Join nowI would like to take my on hand inventory and estimate its potential sales value based on the sales price I entered when setting up the products in QBO. Is there a way to do that in QBO or do I have to down load data and calculate it in excel?

Thanks for getting back to our forum, @MarkJR,
Having the option to show the sales price, units and the value of your inventory all in one report is a great preference to add in our program. While this is currently unavailable, I have a workaround you can try.
You can use the Physical Inventory Worksheet to show the total stocks in the warehouse alongside with its sales price. Here's how to generate it in QuickBooks Online:

I can help you set up your items with their sales price, MarkJR.
When you create an item you have the option to enter the sales price or rate and the income account affected. We also have available reports where you can keep track of your sales with the correct data.
Let's turn on the inventory feature first to track your quantity and price/rate and inventory quantity on hand.
After that, we can start setting up your items with the correct details. I'll show you how:
To help you keep track of your inventory and sales, you can run and customize our reports.

Thanks for the reply. Already knew all that info. Is there an answer to my original question?
Allow me to provide additional information about your question, MarkJR.
In QuickBooks Online, the system uses the weighted average cost to determine the value of your inventory. You can check out the Understand inventory assets and cost of goods sold tracking page for more details.
You can set price rules to control the sales price of your products and services. Simply turn on this feature to use the function, and I'm glad to show you how:
Once done, you can create a price rule and customize it. Please refer to this page for complete steps: Set price rules in QuickBooks Online.

Mary - appreciate your answer but still not hitting on my original question. So, i'm going to repeat my original question, perhaps someone might be able to answer:
***I would like to take my on hand inventory and estimate its potential sales value***
I'm looking to take the units I have in inventory and multiply them by my Sales Price per each item (the sales price I entered when setting up the product in QBO).
So as an example:
I have 10 units of XYZ.
My sales price for that item (the price I entered in QBO for the item when setting up the product) is $20
So my potential sales is 10 x $20 = $200 for item XYZ.
I want to do that for all items I currently have in inventory
Is there a report or something that would do that in QBO or do I need to do that in excel for all my items?
