Inventory tracking for items purchased as unit and sold as separate pieces

Am using quickbooks for mac to track inventory. We have an item that we purchase as a unit, which consists of 2 different items that are sold individually.  So, 25 of these units equals 50 items for sale - 25 each of two different items.  How do we track this in inventory?

 

In addition, some of the same two items will be modified (we outsource milling as part of this process) and sold as a new third item.  How do we account for the cost of milling & supplies (stain, hooks, screws, etc) used in this new item? Any help is great

Hello there, @smleick4484.

 

Thank you for posting in the Community. I'd be happy to help share some information about tracking inventory in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

 

You can create two items with slightly different names to track the inventory in your account. This way, you'll know how many items you actually have in stock. Additionally, you can consult your accountant about the income account you want QuickBooks to use to track the income you earn from sales of this item.

 

For more information about this, I recommend checking the following articles about inventory:
