Question

Alerts when item out of stock

How can I set it up so that if someone is creating an invoice, and an item is out of stock, it tells them it it out?  I want it to show right on the invoice as opposed to looking at a report.  I'm sure the functionality is there but I'm new to Online and can't seem to figure out how to make it work

Hey there mdix2023,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us here. QuickBooks Online is a powerful program that can help manage your business. I would be happy to provide some information.

 

QuickBooks Online has various features that can make running your business smoother. Inventory tracking is one of the many features that QuickBooks offers . At this time, there isn't a feature that enables you to see if an item is out of stock on the invoice. I can see how having this feature would be beneficial for you. I recommend leaving feedback by heading to the Gear icon and selecting the Feedback option. Our developers view and consider each comment as they create new features and updates for QuickBooks. 

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us here.

Is there any update on this?  We also need a solution to out of stock items on our invoices.  Staff don't always check the stock level and as a result items get sold that we don't have.  We used to have desktop Enterprise and it was a feature there.

Hi there mdix2023,

 

Thanks for reaching out about your inventory items. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to help you create and send invoices to your customers so they know the amount owed for your services. I can provide some information about items out of stock.

 

As of currently, there isn't a way to have an alert showing that an item is out of stock at the creation of a transaction. I can see that this would be a feature that you'd like to see to help with managing your inventory, and I encourage you to leave feedback using the steps provided in my colleague's last reply to let the developers know that this is a feature you'd be interested in having in the software.
