question - about accounting

Aug 22, 2005 1 Replies

If I am running a "bulk barn" type of store, whereby the product can be any mass taken from bulk bins, and the products all have unique batch numbers - how do you recommend I utilize this type of business in quickbooks premier 2005. Especially the inventory options etc.



At Bulk Barn, customers buy any quantity of product taken from any of the large bins that contain bulk amounts. Purchase orders are typically for bulk quantities, however sales are any quantity.



How would I set up COGS, inventory to account for these details and records, including the batch numbers per bulk bin.



Thanks

Doesn't sound all that different than any other inventory system.

You set up the inventory per bulk bin item, enter the existing inventory, add for what you purchase and subtract for items that are sold (or given away). Yes, you'll have to count inventory at some point in time.
