I can help you manage inventory products in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @nplant.
Currently, we're unable to do manufacturing in QBO. Though, we can create your finished product inventory item if necessary. Create a cash-type bank account called WIP. Then, create a vendor called in-house.
The inventory has been relieved, the costs accumulated in the WIP account, and finally, that total cost paid for the finished inventory item and stocked it with qty and item cost. The WIP bank is zero until you need it again.
You can also check our Inventory and projects page in case you want to learn some tips on managing your inventory.
I'm always here to help if ever you have other concerns setting up your inventory.
