Thanks for getting back to us, @Medickinson.

The user role for Inventory Management can only view and edit existing products and services list and vendor details. However, it doesn't have access to print inventory reports.

Also, here are the things that an Inventory Manager can and can't do in QuickBooks.

This user can:

• View and edit existing Product and Services list
• Manage categories
• Adjust inventory
• View existing inventory asset account, income account, and expense account
• View and update vendor details

This user can’t :

• Add new inventory asset account, inventory adjustment account, income account, or expense account
• Run report
• Do batch actions for Email and Pay bills
• Prepare 1099
• Create new transactions for a vendor

I've also added these articles that can guide you in managing your Product and services in QuickBooks. It also contains a visual guide that can help you more:

• Adding Products and Services, Customers, and Vendors to Lists
• Changing product and service item types

As the Inventory Manager, if there appears to be a discrepancy in the inventory count, how can you determine what Bills and Invoices may be missing when comparing the inventory count to the physical inventory count?
