How to calculate cost to make product

QB Online doesn't have any feature for unit measurement or assembling inventory to become a product. You may need an inventory management app for a simple BOM or a manufacturing app for a complex BOM to integrate with QBO.

 Otherwise, consider using QB Desktop Premier instead. Deploy a private cloud or put your company file(s) on a QB cloud hosting if required.

Thanks so much for your reply! That helps me.

Thanks so much for your reply.  That helps.

The PLUS version of qbo is exactly what you need for the Apple Butter manufacturing business!

Set up your RAW materials in qbo with a revenue account and a CGOS (even through you don't sell those components by themselves).  

Next, set up your FINISHED Apple Butter(s) as BUNDLE products.  Within the BUNDLE, you will be asked to list the raw components (there is an option to hide the from the customer, so the ingredient recipe will NOT show on the invoice)

Once you add the Apple Butter Bundle to an invoice, QBO deducts the raw material components and records the sale of each Apple Butter Bundle at the price you have set.  All will happen with the click of a mouse.

All the best,
