Did you happen to notice the button at the bottom of your Item list that says "Activities"?
Take a look there and you'll see an option that will help many manufacturing, distribution and wholesale businesses that use QuickBooks - the "Current Availability" option (if you don't see this, you are likely using an older version of QuickBooks that did not contain this functionality - save 20% on your QuickBooks upgrade).
Select an inventory part or inventory assembly in your item list, then navigate to the Current Availability option to get a screen that looks like this (click the image for a larger view):
This screen is packed with critical information to help manage your inventory of that item in QuickBooks, including:
- Quantity on Hand
- Quantity on Sales Orders
- Quantity Reserved for Assemblies
- Quantity on Purchase Orders
- Quantity on Pending Builds
For any of the amounts listed, you can head to the bottom of the screen and see all the details. For example, you can see all the open purchase orders, all the open sales orders, etc.
In case you are wondering, this is the same as the "Current Availability button" that appears within the various screens in QuickBooks as shown below:
