I am a newbie to QB and am looking for someone who is using it for Auto Sales (very small business) I am having difficulty understanding how to make it work for me. I only need to receive the inventory and parts. (No P.Os, etc) & sell the vehicle (no sales quotes, or even statements) Our sales sheets are handwritten but I need to be able to keep track of inventory & CoGS. Woud anyone be able to provide a snap shot of how I can do this without the system interfacing with other functions, such as P.O., etc I would be most grateful to any insight tht could be provided. For the price of the program I would have thought there would be more tutorials. I contacted Intuit and they only directed me to items I had already read. TIA

    Hi LeeMcQ,

     

    Welcome to the QuickBooks family!  Having the ability to keep track of your inventory and COGS is essential for keeping your books aligned.  QuickBooks Desktop allows you receive inventory, with or without a bill.  I'd be happy to show you how.

     

    Follow these steps to receive inventory:

     

    1. From your Home page, click on  the dropdown arrow next to Receive Inventory 

    2. Select Receive Inventory without Bill

    3. Enter the Vendor using the drop-down arrow or choose <Add New> and enter the necessary fields, hit OK when complete

    4. Open the Items tab and choose your items using the drop-down arrow or  <Add New>

    5. Review the information for the fields and hit OK when done

     

    Here's a helpful article for your reference for receiving inventory in QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out.  We'd be glad to help!
