Question

Inventory - multiple units of measure

Currently using QBO Plus.

 

I need to handle different units of measure and am unsure which QB product/upgrade or 3rd Party App may help.  

 

Essentially, I buy items in bulk to resell as 10pks, 5pks, singles, etc.  And as it turns out, QBO Plus doesn't have the option for creating different units of measure (*thumbs down*, QuickBooks).  I don't need the extra services that many 3rd party apps seems to offer.  


What are my options for managing inventory in this way?  Do I need to upgrade to another level of QBO?

Hi there, BusinessPerson5. 

 

The option to create different units of measure is unavailable in QBO. However, you can integrate a third-party application that can perform the task for you.

 

To ensure you'll get a compatible app, I recommend visiting our QuickBooks Apps store. Since we treat all businesses fairly, I suggest searching there to find the program that suits your need.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select the Apps menu from your left navigation pane.
  2. Enter a keyword in the Search field.
  3. Select and open the app. You can read reviews or feedback from other users to help you decide further.

 

You can check out this article to learn more about the Unit of Measure feature: Use single and multiple units. 

 

Let me know if you have further assistance with managing inventory in QBO. I'm always here to help. Have a great day!

QBO doesn't support U/M feature. You need to use a 3rd party inventory management to integrate with QBO.
