Selling a portion of an item

We inventory Polyester filter media in bulk rolls.  We often cut down these bulk rolls into smaller rolls to sell.  Is there a way to create some sort of BOM or a way to attribute the sale of the smaller roll as a portion of the larger roll?  Thank you in advance

Let me help and point you in the right direction on how to create a bill of materials for your items, Filter maker.

 

Currently, you can set up a list of all components used to build a product in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). You may want to use a third-party application to create a detailed list of all the components, materials, and instructions needed to manufacture a specific product in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

 

Though I'm unable to suggest which app to use, I can walk you through how to look for one on the QuickBooks Apps Center page. Simply enter a keyword into the search bar, or navigate to the Categories section and select the appropriate function. Click on each of the suggested programs to learn more about how it works. For a better comparison, you can also read the testimonials and comments from customers.

 

For more information about the various kinds of bills of materials and the details, you must include in the list, feel free to read the following article: What is a bill of materials (BOM)? Types, components and benefits.

 

The following reference includes a list of resources and answers to assist you with inventory management in QBO: Set up items you purchase and sell. Select the article or topic that best addresses your concerns from the list.

 

Don't hesitate to visit the Community again and tag my name if you need further assistance while working in QuickBooks or have other inventory concerns. I'm more than happy to lend a helping hand, Filter maker.
