Inventory Reorder points and Subitems

We use Enterprise for tracking our inventory and one product has us stuck.  We order material that is received in large rolls. The material is ordered on the purchase order as Material A, but is received as subitems, Material A Roll 1, Material A Roll 2, etc.  My issue is with reorder points.  I can set a reorder point of 1000 lbs on Material A, is there a way to get subitem Material A Roll1 and Roll 2 to be grouped together towards that 1000lb reorder point?  As of now, it shows that I have nothing on hand of Material A, 500 pounds of Material A Roll1, 300 pounds Material A Roll 2.  Is there a way to do this?

Inventory Reorder points and Subitems

Thanks for getting in touch with us, @KMidland,

 

At the moment, the parent and sub-items uses separate reorder points. This is the reason why, the quantity you set in the parent inventory will not sync the subsidiary items.

 

To resolve this, account the exact inventory item you received for QuickBooks to track them accurately. Then, set the reorder points for each inventory you add or track inside the program.

 

For further guidance on how to manage inventory in QuickBooks Desktop, see the following links:

 

If you have any questions or clarifications, let me know in the comment below. I'd be more than happy to help.
