Manufacturing: WIP to Finished Goods:

Super! Thanks for responding.

How do you manage manufacturing with QB?  We have use it for years and you cannot run production of a product.  You can only do assembly.  I have called QB many times and they can only suggest to make an inventory adjustment to get my product into inventory.  We have done a two step process of issuing a P.O. to ourselves with the item and quantity at zero cost and then receive the product.

Any clues?   It is not a manufacturing software is assembly software.

With a Premier, Enterprise, or Accountant subscription, you can track products that you manufacture. QuickBooks allows you to combine inventory parts and other items to build a product.

Initially, you'll want to turn on inventory tracking.

Here's how:
 

1. In your top menu bar, go to Edit, then Preferences.
2. Access the Items & Inventory screen.
3. Open your Company Preferences tab.
4. Turn on the Inventory and purchase orders are active and Warn if not enough inventory to sell options.
5. Choose which type of warning you want to see.
6. If you're using Enterprise, you'll also have a Don’t allow negative inventory quantities option you can turn on if you'd like to.
7. In the event you use a unit of measure to track products, hit Enable in your UNIT OF MEASURE section.
8. Select OK.

Once the settings are in order, you can set up each part you use to build a product:
 

• If you track a component's quantity, set it up as an inventory part.
• In the event you use a component that you don't, or can't, track, create it as a non-inventory part.
• If you include other charges or fees in each build, set them as other charge items.

Next, you'll need to add your product's bill of materials and proceed with the steps in our Track the products you manufacture article.

I've also included a detailed resource about assembling and tracking manufactured products which may come in handy moving forward: Combine your inventory items to build finished goods
