a1190w Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hey GuysGot a Love hate relationship going on with Quickbooks Premier 2006. I broke down & bought this package cause I needed something to track the business & inventory.Initially its very labor intensive when setting up your business & inventory. I've been plucking away at data entry for 2 months now & its finally paying off. Once you get it set up, it tracks all your purchase orders, Adds items into inventory. Invoices & sales remove items from inventory. It allows you to take inventory items like wicks, wax, F/O stickums etc & build your candle according to your own recipe. They call that an assembly item. The finished candles are then added to your inventory. You can track parts & assemblies. Really neat. As i said, setting it up is labor intensive but I have found a few tricks that help make it easier.Anyway, thought I'd share my experiences with ya.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelaVA Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 After the initial setup, how time consuming is it to keep track of everything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1190w Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 After enter all your items in the list, You want to order something say from Peaks, You have to create a purchase order in Quickbooks with these same items. takes maybee 2 minutes depending on how much you order. When the order arrives, You select receive order & pay bill, follow the prompts & it adds what you ordered to your inventory. When you sell something, you create an invoice with the items sold and it subtracts what you sold from your inventory.The mistake I made is not putting things in inventory in the units I use them in. For instance wax. You order by the pound, but you use ounces when you make 1 candle. I caught this early on so it was no biggie. It also lest you set re-order points so when you get down to say 2 ounces of a particular F/O itl flag you to re-order/.Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 That sounds really great. I am nowhere near that point, but I know others here might be able to benefit. Thanks for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherl Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have the program as well and love it! Setup can be a pain but you get used to it. I wouldn't trade it now that I've gotten used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
