Join nowUsing QB Desktop for MAC 2021. When making an adjustment to inventory the form shows the entire list of inventory items in a random order with no search function or sort function making it very difficult to find a single inventory item to record an adjustment. With over a thousand items in the list, it requires you to scroll through the list each time to find the item. Does anyone know if there is a way to search or sort this list? It appears the Windows desktop and online versions have this feature, but not the MAC version. Image shows the top section of the form that QB MAC uses but no way to search or sort the list. Thx
Thanks for posting to the Community and sharing details, @Ebikes.
I know this would be beneficial when you're able to see the inventory item directly through to a search or sort function. In the meantime, you can follow these steps to account for the adjustments:

I already know how to do those adjustments. What I asked is why can't I search or sort the list to find the item I want to adjust. Having to scroll down a non-sorted list of over 1,000 items makes the adjustment process very tedious even for a single inventory adjustment because the item can be anywhere in the list. This seems like a major error in whoever programmed this form. You should be able to click on the column header to sort the list like you can inside reports. This is a very basic programming process. How could it be left out of this important part of Quickbooks for MAC.
