How do I set up sub-accounts for an existing Inventory account?

"How do I set up sub-accounts for an existing Inventory account?
I have one account for Inventory. I would like to add 3 sub-accounts and reclass with the balances rolling up to the existing Inventory account"

Unfortunately, such an option is not possible in the QBO inventory module. Currently, it can handle just one main default account, no sub-accounts or more than one Inventory Asset account at this time.

But it's a great idea and requested item as well. Send them feedback. 

(Gear at the top icon > Your Profile > Feedback).

Yes you can create a sub account of inventory asset in the chart of accounts, as well as creating additional top level inventory asset accounts

BUT

but what you are wanting to do is not going to work in QB.

QB works on names, every transaction is isolated by name in the background, so there is really no usable reason to create sub accounts at all.  Think of a name as a sub account.

And if you do have additional inventory asset accounts, QB lumps them all together in an inventory valuation report, that may or may not cause an issue depending on what you are trying to get done.

If you would explain the full detail behind your wishes, we can probably help to find a way to get it done.
