Cost of Goods accounting for used car dealership

Thanks for joining this thread, @Wysie. Let me chime in provide some insights.

 

When you purchase, make sure to select the inventory item instead of the inventory account. This way, the inventory quantity will not increase by one and updates the Vehicle Stock Inventory (Asset Account).

 

Then, utilize class tracking in the inventory items setup so it uses the class on any transaction.

 

Additionally, I'm adding these articles to help manage your inventory in QuickBooks:

Hi,

 

Sorry to sound a little basic here.

 

I believe the item quantity should update by 1. And then when I add an incoming payment in my bank for the vehicle, the transaction should be pointed to it and reduce quantity by one. And this should all function in my reports also.

 

I am a used car dealer and am finding it very hard to accomplish! Anybody available today for a call? I’ll happily pay. 

 

thanks,

What type of information goes in to "class?"  Is this the stock number?  Vehicle type?  Trying to think through how this will get used in the end (e.g. from a reporting perspective)  Thanks!

What type of information goes in "Class?"  Is this like a stock number/asset ID?  Trying to think through how this will be used/needed form a reporting perspective.  Thanks!
