I appreciate your focus on simplifying inventory tracking, Syeda. While adding batch numbers and expiration dates in QuickBooks Online products and services is unsupported, I have some alternative solutions you could consider for your stock management. Let’s explore these options so you can get back to expanding your business.
First and foremost, I can see the benefit of this option for you and other customers. I encourage you to communicate directly with our Product Developers team using the Feedback option in your QBO. They're genuinely interested in hearing your input and highly encourage you to share your requests and suggestions.
To proceed, here's how:
- Open your QBO account.
- Go to the Gear icon located at the top-right corner of your screen.
- Under the Profile section, select Feedback.
- Type in your suggestions and then click on Next.
In the meantime, you can leverage the Description field when setting up or editing a product to include batch numbers and expiry dates. This feature enables you to easily monitor important information directly within the program.
For more advanced and comprehensive tracking, I recommend integrating third-party inventory management solutions that offer these features natively. Visit this link to our QuickBooks App Store to see available apps. Navigate to the CATEGORIES section and select an app that best fits your business.
Additionally, I'll provide an insightful article on generating and customizing your inventory reports to improve your understanding of inventory levels and make more informed management decisions: Use reports to see your sales and stock status in QBO.
