Do This, Not That: Manage Inventory with Real Data, Not Spreadsheets

Do This:

Use QBO Plus or Advanced to enable inventory tracking and take advantage of Moving Average Cost (MAC). Upload physical inventory counts, use item receipts to match purchase orders to received goods, and review inventory reports regularly. These tools help keep inventory levels accurate, stabilize Cost of Goods Sold, and provide a clearer picture of profitability.

Not That:

Don’t manage inventory in spreadsheets or rely on outdated processes that create extra work and increase the risk of errors. Avoid making manual inventory adjustments without supporting documentation or ignoring differences between what was ordered, received, and recorded. Inaccurate inventory data can distort margins and lead to poor purchasing and pricing decisions.

Accurate inventory accounting leads to more accurate margins and better business decisions. Need help setting up inventory tracking or evaluating costing methods in QBO? One 8 Solutions is here for that. Let’s connect!
