We purchased QB Manufacturing Enterprise Platinum.  We have purchased our bar code scanner.  Does anyone know if and how I can use it to only reduce the inventory as it is used.  I do not want to use a pick list or sales order.  We are a manufacturing company and I want to be able to "scan" out a piece of steel when pulled to be cut per the engineers drawing.

Hey there, juliac2.

 

Thanks for bringing your question forward here in the Community. I'm here to provide some info about using the barcode scanner in your QuickBooks Enterprise account. 

 

While there are many options for adjusting inventory, there isn't currently a way to use the barcode scanner when removing inventory. I can see how having this option would be beneficial. I recommend submitting your suggestion to the Product Development Team for review. This can be done directly through the QuickBooks platform by selecting Help, then Submit Feedback Online. 

 

In the meantime, the following article provides additional info about setting up and using barcode scanning in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach back out if you have any other questions. I'll be here to lend a hand.
