How do I readjust my inventory list alphabetically. A
co-worker input the items randomly. When I use Quick Books Register, I have to look up or down the list until I find the item. This is very frustrating while a customer is waiting.
Carol, if you open the Item List and click the “Item” button at the bottom, there is an option to re-sort the list.
how can I roll up the overhead cost of production, based on certain percentage, like production machine depreciation, labor cost, tools and Auxiliary materials which are for general production, into the final products I manufactured? thanks.
Lisa, there isn’t a way to do that simply, in QuickBooks, by percentage. You can include “service” and “other charge” items in the BOM, to add a cost element for things like labor cost and auxiliary materials.
You might take a look at these articles for some ideas on this:
