Inventory

Thanks for reaching out to us, danabittle.

Inventory tracking features are included in all QuickBooks Desktop versions. You can run Inventory Stock Status by Item to know how many products are available for sale this includes finished goods and components that create a finished product.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Choose Inventory.
3. Select the Inventory Stock Status by Item report.
4. Set the report date.
5. Hit the Refresh button to keep the changes.

Then, run the Inventory Valuation Summary report to determine how many assembly items are currently in stock.

Here's how:

1. Press the Reports menu at the top bar to choose Inventory and Inventory Valuation Summary.
2. Click the Dates drop-down and set the correct period you want to see on the report.
3. Press the Customize Report button if you wish to personalize the data.
4. Hit the Refresh button to keep the changes.

On the other hand, it isn't possible to assign to customers and track the goods used for each finished product or service. I advise searching for a third-party management application that can link with your QuickBooks Desktop that has this functionality. You can find one using this link: QuickBooks Apps.

I've added an article with a complete list of all the reports offered by QuickBooks Desktop. You can quickly open one since it is organized by topic: Create and manage reports.

If you have further questions about the reports, let us know. We're always here to help you.

QBO doesn't offer any assembly feature. If you are running a manufacturing company or a workshop, consider having a manufacturing app to integrate with QBO.
