I appreciate you for bringing up your point, FLSlb.

 

I can see the significance of being able to see the total cost of an item, including all associated charges when checking the inventory. This feature would greatly enhance the transparency and convenience of the purchasing process for our customers. Let's follow these steps and send your suggestion directly to our product engineers. 

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account and go to the Gear icon.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Enter your thoughts/insights about it and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

 

As a workaround, you can look for a third-party application that can take into account things like shipping costs, taxes, and other expenses, so you can be sure you're pricing your items accurately.

 

Additionally, you can add some of the shipping cost to the total item cost when you enter it in the bill. QuickBooks will then calculate the cost for each item. However, it's best to ask your accountant for more help. They can show you how to do this in QuickBooks and give you good advice and share other methods. This makes sure that your data remains accurate.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further suggestions or questions.

You should have a 3rd party inventory management app with the landing cost feature to integrate with QBO.
