Hi-

We are a small food processor using the QB Desktop Manufacturers and Wholesale 2019 version. I want to know if thee is a way to automatically deplete inventory when I generate a sales order or invoice of my final product. Eg: we get an order for one pallet of cookies comprised of 1000 x 1lb packages, and 1000 x 2lb packages of final product. This would require, say, 500kg of flour and 500kg of sugar. Can QB adjust my inventories down when I invoice my customer, indicating to me that I have to order more flour, sugar, and bags? Will it automatically update my balance sheet?

Hi there,

Making sure your inventory is accurate is a good way to stay ahead of your work. QuickBooks helps you stay organized during the hectic times in your business. I'd be glad to share more info on this.

To answer your question, it's fair to say that it all depends on how you set up your inventory. If the inventory was set up correctly, the quantity would be reduced from the inventory when invoices are created. I want to make sure you get the right assistance with this. I suggest contacting our support team so one of our agents can take a closer look at your account and assist. Here are our contact details:
