Question

Supplying parts to vendors for assemblies

We're currently using QuickBooks Manufacturing and Wholesale 21.0 Desktop.  Frequently we have suppliers set up to do assembly or work that we cannot.  But we buy component items to supply to the vendors.  I see no way in QB to issue a purchase order, and relieve my inventory of the items I'm supplying to have a thing made.  Does anyone out there have a way of handling this?  Is it just something I missed?  In previous experience with actual MRP systems, we called these items 'supplied' parts, and were able to issue them as required to purchase orders, as if they were being issued to a work order.

Hey there, kate111.

 

Thanks for posting your question here in the Community. 

 

While there are many options for customization regarding inventory in the QuickBooks Manufacturing and Wholesale platform, there isn't a way to set this up to relieve the inventory as you mentioned. I can see how this would be beneficial and I recommend submitting feedback to the Product Development Team for review. This can be done through your account by clicking the Help tab in the top menu, then select Send Feedback Online.

 

One great thing about the Community is that even though there may not be a direct answer, there are many QuickBooks users who have found workarounds that have worked for them. I invite you to stick around to see what answers you receive from other users in similar situations. 

 

Please don't hesitate to reach back out if you have any other questions. I'll be here to help in any way that I can.
