Yes, you can correct the start date for an inventory item in the Starting Value section of the Quantity on Hand tab in QuickBooks Online (QBO), MURTAZA.

 

Please note beforehand that if you've already used the items, changing the start date can impact their initial value. I recommend consulting your accountant for guidance before making changes. To proceed with the update, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Navigate to Sales and select Products & Services.
  2. Find the item you want to change and click Edit.
  3. Under Quantity on hand, hit the Starting value box.
  4. If a prompt appears, click Got It!
  5. Change the start date in the As of date field.
  6. When finished, click Save and close.
