Hey there, @RKN.
Yes, you can adjust the quantity on hand on both of your cases and sellable units to correct your inventory status. However, disassembling an item is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Here's how you can adjust the quantity or value in QuickBooks Desktop.
First, create a separate account in your chart of accounts to track your adjustments:
- Select Company and then Chart of Accounts.
- Select the Account ▼ dropdown, then New.
- From the Other Account Types ▼ dropdown, select Cost of Goods Sold.
- Name this account “Inventory Adjustments”, and then Save and Close.
Once done, follow these steps to adjust your product’s quantity or value:
- Go to List and select and select the Activities drop-down list. Then, select Adjust Quantity/Value on Hand.
- From the Adjustment Type drop-down list, select Quantity or Total Value.
- Enter the Adjustment Date and select the adjustment account you set up in the Adjustment Account drop-down menu.
- Add the Reference No and choose the items you want to adjust by clicking Find & Select Items.
- Select Add Selected items and add a new quantity or new value for each item.
- Click Save and Close.
After creating the adjustments, take a look at your inventory status reports and make sure everything looks good.
- Go to Reports and select Inventory.
- To check your product’s value, select the Inventory Valuation Summary. To check your product’s quantity, select the Inventory Stock Status by Item.
- Look for the items you adjusted and make sure everything is correct.
In case you need more components, you can order what you need right in QuickBooks. Then, you can track what you receive from vendors and what’s still on order.
When you do, the quantity on hand of each component increases automatically by the number of items you receive. To restock components, send a purchase order to your vendor. Then, track the items you receive.
