Thank you, I will probably download the free trial and see how it goes. I cannot believe that QB didn’t think far enough in advance to offer this.

Roseanne: QuickBooks doesn’t have a “where used” feature like that. You can get that feature in an add-on product that my company produces, CCRQBOM. It contains a “where used” report that lets you list a component and every assembly it is used in (along with other features). See it at http://www.ccrsoftware.com/CCRQBOM/CCRQBOM.htm – and you can download a free trial.

Is there any way to see every BOM that contains a certain component? For example, let’s say I have a certain part that has been discontinued. I want to adjust my BOM everywhere that it is used, and replace it with the new part. Is there a way to click on this component and get a report of every build it is used in? If this feature is not available I would think it would come in handy, especially for companies that have literally hundreds of builds.

Richelle, unless you have a very old or possibly a non-US edition of QuickBooks, you most certainly CAN change the components in the BOM for an assembly item, even it it has been invoiced. The changes won’t affect any existing transactions, it will just affect any new transactions you create from this point on.

I don’t understand – as you CANNOT change the components in any inventory item that has been invoiced. So this information seems wrong, no?
