Question

Purchase Order Parts & Resale Parts

I have not been able to find a direct answer for this question and not sure if Quickbooks can be used to this expectation.

 

We are currently buying various products from various suppliers with unique part numbers and reselling them with another unique part number reference.

 

For example:

I need to buy a pump from our supplier pump#4251-5 and we sell the same pump to our customer as part# 36521480. How do we receive the product as one item and have quickbooks link the inventory to the part number we sell it as.

 

I hope I didn't sound too confusing. These resale part numbers were created by a company that no longer is in business but their customers know all of the parts by these reference numbers. Is there maybe a work around? if quickbooks wont allow you to link them together?

I understand what you're trying to say, @Christy1128.

 

You can add a purchase order to a bill, cheque, or an expense so you can receive the product from your supplier. Just choose your preferred option under Suppliers from the Create (+) menu as seen in the screenshot below. However, there isn't a way to link it with two different part numbers when buying it from your suppliers and reselling it to your customers. 

 

As an alternative, you can put the unique part number reference in the Message on invoice box, such as part # 36521480, when you resell it. This ensures your customers can recognize the inventory part. The screenshot below serves as your visual guide. 

 

Check out this website: Set Up and Track Your Stock. You'll find steps on how to turn on stock tracking, add your products, sell, restock them, and run inventory reports. 

 

I'm here anytime you have other concerns. Have a great day, @Christy1128.
