margin low or negative

Having the functionality that acts as a safeguard against inadvertently selling products at a loss would be helpful in making informed decisions, jvgonzalez.

At the moment, there isn't a way to display a message or halt the sales process when an invoice includes products with low or negative margins in QuickBooks Desktop. While this specific feature is unavailable, we greatly appreciate your suggestions as they play a vital role in shaping our software's future.

Your feedback is essential in driving enhancements that align with your business needs. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, I encourage you to share your thoughts with our Product Development Team to help us prioritize features that truly matter to you. Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QBDT.
  2. Go to the Help menu.
  3. Select Send Feedback Online, then choose Product Suggestion.
  4. Set the appropriate type of feedback and pick a product area.
  5. Enter your comments, name, and e-mail address.
  6. Click Send Feedback.

 

In the meantime, you'll want to consider visiting our app market to search for a third-party provider that matches your business preferences. These applications often specialize in addressing niche requirements.

 

I'm also adding this article to learn how to track your cash flow, sales, receivables, and profitability: Get started with customer transaction workflows.

 

Just tag me in the comment section if you need further assistance in managing the products that you buy and sell. I'll always have your back.
