Help with Assembly and Group type items

May 18, 2005 0 Replies

I have a dilema:


I need an accounting program that can correctly track inventory and I am coming up against a brick wall in both Peachtree and QuickBooks. Any



advice would be helpful.


I need to create items that contain raw materials.


I want the raw materials to be their own inventory items, not just COGS



accounts.


I need the program to automatically reduce the raw inventory levels when the main items are invoiced. Meaning- I don't want to build assemblies at the end of the day/week/month etc. We have too many items



that are sold this way (300+)


The Assembly feature would work great if it automatically adjusted inventory.


I need the main item to have it's own sales price. In quickbooks, the group item feature creates a price based on the sales price of the raw goods. I want there to be a default sales price specifically for the main item itself that would automatically appear on the invoice, and I would like to set this price not have the program base it on the sales price of the raw goods.


I don't want the invoice to show the raw goods.


And- I need to have the inventory come from different locations depending on the customer/invoice. Quickboooks has a class feature but it doesn't seem to work so well when selling assemblies, but it does seem to work well when selling group items but the problems above still



exist.


Please please help! Is there a way to get Peachtree to do this? If not-



how about quickbooks or some other accounting program?
