Join nowWe use QB Pro and use inventory for our small consumables. However, for our equipment wholegoods, QB inventory cannot track by serial #. I'm looking for a small database to track our equipment by serial number without paying the outrageous inventory software fees. We are a small business so all we need now is something simple. I wish QB would allow that. Any suggestions? Do any of you track by SN? What do you use?
Thanks!!
Hello there, MPP315.
In QuickBooks Desktop, you have an option to turn on the serial or lot numbers to start tracking your inventory items. This is the first thing that we'll need to do so we can assign a serial number to your inventory item. Here's how:

Let me know if you have other questions. I'm right here to assist anytime. Take care and have a good one.
The feature is available on QBD Enterprise Platinum. Otherwise, consider having an inventory management app with a one time license to integrate with your QBD Pro/Premier edition.
This is for Enterprise. I have Pro. Enterprise is out of our budget :-)
We use QB Pro, the option you are giving is for only Enterprise
Thanks for joining the thread, @MPP315.
Currently, the serial or lot numbers feature is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop Pro. Instead, you can consider having an inventory management app to integrate with QuickBooks.
Check our QuickBooks App Store and look for an app that integrates with QBDT.
While we continue to develop new features in QuickBooks that can help you save time, I'd recommend you regularly check our QuickBooks Blog for the latest feature available in QBDT.
Also, I encourage checking our Help articles page to learn some tips and tricks in managing your QBDT account. From there, you can read great articles that can guide you through the steps by steps process.
Stay in touch with us if you have other questions. I'm more than happy to help. Take care!
