We have never utilized the Inventory tracking and Bin locations for our Inventory. Now that we have turned it on, I am having trouble setting it up.
I attempted to adjust inventory, and was able to assign which location I was using (using "unassigned" as we get things organized, then planning on assigning each part a bin). I could not save the inventory without adding an Inventory Bin Location, then still could not save the updated inventory list.
Also, I was unable to find a way to assign specific locations in the "Edit Item" screen for when we go in to add specific Bin locations.
Thanks for coming in today, @Sydney-Rupes.
I have an idea on how to get past the warning message. Looking at your attached screenshot, you should be able to save your quantity adjustment. You'll want to make sure each item in your adjustment has an assigned bin location.
You can tick on the sidebar arrow and scroll up and down to check if there's an empty bin location. Here's how it looks like:
Once found, assign a bin location and then save.
About assigning a specific location, you'll want to use the Add/Edit Multiple Items feature. It's where you can enter your desired bin location. Let me walk you through the steps.
After adding the column, pick the items you want to assign a specific location. For more information about managing inventory, check out this guide: Set up Advanced Inventory.
Additionally, here's a link that covers all tasks you can do when using the inventory feature.
If you still have questions or concerns, feel welcome to message me. I'll be happy to help. Take care and have a great weekend.
Hi, @ShiellaGraceA thanks for that info.
The updating inventory bin tips worked well, thank you.
However, I am still having the same issue with updating inventory amounts. I even tried to just update one item, so that I would know that it was not missing info.
Then, I went in and did the inventory bin assignment, hoping that would clear the background coding that is getting stuck, and that didn't work either. I double checked and every item has a location assigned. Unless there is some "line item" that is not showing up, that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Let gets this resolved, @Sydney-Rupes.
There are cases we can experience unexpected behavior and issues from time to time. Data problems might be the reason that you’re getting stuck. I can provide steps so you can continue to run the business.
You can utilize the Verify Rebuild Data tool in QuickBooks. It identifies the most commonly known data issues within your company file while resolving it right away. Here are the steps to do it:
You can check this article for additional information about the process. This provides other troubleshooting instructions in case the issue remains the same.
I’ve added a reference here about Multiple Inventory Sites. It shows you how to assign items, set up multiple locations to track and transfer your inventory in the program. It also contains helpful links so you can manage them accordingly.
If you need further assistance with any of the steps, let me know by posting a comment below. I'll always be around.
Hey @MadelynC
I will try that! Is that something I should do in single user mode?
When we are all logged in I don't want to mess with anything that could possibly give issues for someone else!
Also, how long should the repair take?
Just trying to figure out the best time for the company to do so. Thank you!
Hello again, @Sydney-Rupes.
When running the Verify Rebuild Tool, you'll need to log in as QuickBooks Admin using the single-user mode.
As for how long will the process take, it depends on your company file size.
To give you more of an idea about the verify and rebuild data, take a look at this article: Verify and Rebuild Data in QuickBooks Desktop.
Here's also a resource that'll help you learn the task you can perform when switched to single or multi-user mode: Features available and tasks you can perform in single or multi-user mode.
Please know that I'm always here to lend a hand if you have any other QuickBooks concerns. Feel free to leave a comment below. Have a nice day.
Thanks @MirriamM I'll do that one of these mornings!
I was more looking for an idea- like, less than 30 minutes, less than an hour, several hours?
I wouldn't want to cause QuickBooks to be down for half a day just because I didn't know how long it would take! (I don't think everyone would appreciate that excuse, eep!)
Thanks for those resources. Hopefully this fixes the issue!
Is anybody able to give me an idea of how long this will take? Even just an idea would be helpful for scheduling.
Thank you
