STOCKS IN AND OUT

In QuickBooks you can only add stock when purchasing from supplier or when buying items by cheque. Is there a way whereby you can add stock without affecting the supplier or bank account. Because stock adjustment feature in QuickBooks over writes the original quantity available. This feature is available in Sage ; adjustment in and adjustment out

Why affect Bank or Supplier

I am not the world's leading expert on QuickBooks stock adjustments - but I don't see why a stock adjustment would affect a bank or supplier account - the account where the effect is recorded is selectable ("adjustment Account"), towards the top of the screen.

I would like to enter stock quantities and cost prices in QuickBooks NOT through Supplier Bills or Bank Write Cheques.

New Stock - You can select where the credit goes

If you are introducing stock then you can choose, in the "Adjustment Account" field on the Adjust Quantity screen, where the credit goes to match the debit you are putting into stock.  If you are introducing stock handling to a ledger that had a round sum stock value before I would suggest that you create a stock adjustment account into which the credits to mirror item stocks introduced go and then the round sum stock b/f is written off to the same account.

 

Stock and QB

First and formost QB as with most is an accounting package. Most accounting packages are not very flexible for stock control.

If you have a small number of stock items where the item description is fairly static then QB is OK.

Remember QB has a limit of 14,500 items which you can soon use up if you sell unique products or products change frequently. It is better to use a separate stock system or a POS addin to QB if you have a large number of stock items.
