Production tied to harvest and shelf-life cycles means costs shift by batch, lot, and season. Accurate margins depend on knowing what a specific run actually cost to make—not last quarter's average.

All in one place.
Track, value, and manage your inventory, right where you manage the books. QuickBooks Online Advanced is designed with growing product-based businesses in mind.
Financial clarity that keeps your business moving
ACCURACY & COSTING
Know your true margin before it slips, not after.
- Track inventory quantities and costs as you buy, receive, and sell products, so your inventory records stay up to date and connected to your books.
- Choose FIFO or moving average cost to calculate inventory value and cost of goods sold, the way your business works.
- Use inventory valuation reports to see quantity on hand, inventory value, and cost by product.
- Update inventory values right in QuickBooks when costs change, helping keep inventory valuation aligned with your books.
WHY IT MATTERS
When costs only catch up at close, a product can go underpriced for a quarter before you notice. Catch margin erosion while you can still fix it.
PURCHASING & SALES
A single thread from customer commitment to cash
- Manage purchase orders, item receipts, and sales orders in QuickBooks to track what you've ordered, received, and sold.
- Set reorder points and get low-stock alerts, so you always know when it's time to reorder.
- Buy in one unit of measure and sell in another — units convert automatically, with no separate spreadsheet to reconcile.
- Use sales orders to reserve inventory and see what's available before you commit product to a customer.
WHY IT MATTERS
When purchasing and sales live in separate tools, it's easy to promise inventory you don't have. Keep the full order thread connected, so nothing slips through the cracks.
PROFITABILITY & INSIGHTS
Know which products are actually making you money
- Monitor what's on hand, what it's worth, what you've sold, and cost of goods sold, with connected inventory and financial reports.
- Use sales and inventory reports to see sales, inventory value, and costs by product.
- Use inventory valuation and purchasing data to see how much cash is tied up in inventory.
- Compare product sales to identify your best-selling products.
WHY IT MATTERS
Without connected reporting, it's easy to keep making products that quietly lose money. See which ones pay off, and which just tie up cash.
