I have seen other posts about the lack of Sales Order function on QB Online. Our business relies on an accurate inventory for forecasting as well as our quantity on hand vs quantity available. The desktop version was able to prompt us if we did not have enough inventory to fulfill all orders, however, QBO Online does not seem to have anything that would alert us. If two customers order the same item and we only have enough to fulfill one of the orders, the quantity on hand will only show the total amount without taking into account what the other customer had ordered. The quantity on hand is not updated until the transaction is posted (invoiced), which is not ideal since orders are not invoiced when they are placed; they are invoiced after they are shipped.
Is there any way to keep track inventory that has been ordered but not invoiced yet?
