Physical Inventory Count

We will be adding our QB POS physical inventory counts by hand starting next week. We have a second user license for our backroom and are wondering if we can enter the counts at the same time on two different computers? They are networked together. Has anyone done this or know if it can be done? Thank you!

Physical Inventory Count

Only one workstation at a time can run physical inventory, @MBK. I’ll explain why and provide a workaround you’ll want to consider when conducting its counts. 

 

I recognize the convenience of using networked computers to enter physical inventory counts. However, other workstations are prevented from completing the same activity while one workstation is engaged in a physical inventory.

 

Actual stock counts are referred to as physical inventories. That information is used to confirm or correct the on-hand quantities recorded in inventory. We advise conducting a physical inventory while using Point of Sale for the first time and on a regular basis thereafter.

 

The Intuit Marketplace is a place where you can find add-on applications that you can integrate with us. From there, enter a keyword in the search box or use the Categories section. You can also get a better comparison of these apps to see which one meets your needs. Just go to this site: Apps for QuickBooks Desktop.

 

You’ll want to read through this reference to learn more about Inventory Counts and Adjustments, just go to the page 232: Points of Sale User’s Guide.


If you’re using QuickBooks Enterprise, the Advanced Inventory and Barcode Scanning features will help you track the building materials easily. Check out these articles for more information.
