Switching inventory items from pounds to kilograms

Thank you for contacting us to inquire about switching your inventory items from pounds to kilograms, CLW3. Let me share some details about the unit of measure in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) doesn't have a built-in unit of measure for tracking your inventory. As a result, the option to change the unit of measurement from pounds to kilograms is unavailable in the program.

 

We understand accurate inventory tracking is essential to your business operations, and we would be happy to explore available workarounds to address this concern. In the meantime, add the weights and units in the Description box when entering inventory items.

 

We want to assure you that we're actively considering user feedback like yours to shape the future development of our platform. It helps us improve the product and tailor it to your needs. I can guide you on how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear menu and then select Feedback.
  2. Type in your feature request in the description box.
  3. Once done, click on Next.

 

In the meantime, you can explore a third-party app to add a unit of measure in QBO. You can find one by visiting this website: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home/en-us/.

 

You can also visit these helpful guides if you want to know more about handling customer payments or personalizing your forms:

 

 

Tag my name in the comment below if you have other questions about switching units of measure in QuickBooks. I want to ensure everything is taken care of.
