Lavor in an inventory assembly

So we're a manufacturer that has to build up assembly items to ship to customers.  We don't track labor per employee to an item we just charge a standard rate per item.  The problem we're running into is when we make an invetory assembly if we put in line item for labor at a specified rate,  when the assembly is marked up based on its bol the labor gets marked up also.   Is there a way to have labor in an assembly build without its price being included in the markup of hte whole ticket item?   Is there another easier way to do this that we might not be trying?    We don't want ot break out labor seperately as then our sales team would have to know how many minutes of labor per item we make and that would be a huge list with variying times.

Hello, Steve.

 

I'd like to share some information about the inventory assembly in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

The only way to make your inventory assembly accurate is to separate the labor and assembly when adding an item. This way, the markup will not apply to the labor.

 

Moreover, you can also separate these if you want to create a sale or invoice inside your sales form. 

 

Once your sales form is already created, I'd suggest adding the subtotal of the items and services used in the sales form so it will be organized.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) company.
  2. Choose Customers, then select Create Invoices.
  3. Fill in the invoice details, including the products/services and amounts.
  4. On the next line item, click Add New.
  5. Select Subtotal.
  6. Enter its Name.
  7. Once done, click OK.

 

Lastly, I've added a resource you can browse for you to be able to use inventory assembly items accurately to build and track your finished goods: Combine your inventory items to create finished goods (assemblies).

 

I'll be around anytime in this forum if there's anything else you require additional assistance with when managing your inventory assembly. Let me know below so I can provide further help.
