Join nowGreetings,
I have a product 'WIDGET' that I have been selling as a Non-Inventory part, though I do keep a loose count of. Historically, associated value between between CASH, INVENTORY ASSET, and COGS has been accomplished at EoM with General Journal entry. Assuming that I have $100 worth of this item sitting in INVENTORY ASSET account, how can I associate this value with 100 units as a Stock Item so that QuickBooks can start managing COGS transfer automatically during the Invoicing process?
Thanks.
Hello, Noverhead.
We can edit your item type (non-inventory to inventory) and associate its pre-existing value, so QuickBooks manage the COGS transfer automatically during the Invoicing process. I'll guide you through the process below.
You can easily change an item's type from non-inventory to inventory in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). However, please know that this action is irreversible. Once you've converted your non-inventory item to inventory, you're unable to change its type again.
Moreover, while you're in the Edit Item page, enter the 100 units value in the Total Value field to associate your non-inventory item's pre-existing value. Whenever you're ready to edit your item, here's how:
To know more about the process above, please see this article: Add, edit, and delete items in QuickBooks Desktop (Edit items section).
Once you're done, associate the item to your invoice and manage its quantity accordingly.
Additionally, you can use categories to keep your items organized and get helpful insights when running reports in QBDT. If you want to know more about this process, check out this article: Use item categories in QuickBooks Desktop.
Don't hesitate to keep in touch if you need anything else about managing inventory items in QBDT. As always, the Community is here to attend to your concerns.
Thanks for the reply, but the solution you described adds value to Inventory Asset and changes the balance sheet...not what I'm looking for.
