inventory tracking in QBO

i have been using QBO for a long time. I have asked for product changes to make it more user friendly. It seems i am the only one having a hard time with the archaic inventory tracking available currently, so it is not taken seriously.

 

why is there no ON ORDER for product inventory.  choices are either i have it or i dont.  there is no way to show that i have ordered it and when it will arrive maybe?

additionally, if i need to pay for my order in advance, say for something coming from overseas or a new supplier, the second i pay for the order, the inventory shows as on hand, even though it may arrive only in months.

very confusing for users. how to keep track of pending orders? why is this not a thing already?

If anyone is suffering with the same issue, please say so!! it may speed up the process of having a better inventory tracking system

thank you
