Anatomy of a QuickBooks Inventory Item

If you have an item-heavy business, you need tools to track your inventory. QuickBooks provides them. When you started your business, maybe you were able to keep track of your inventory by peering in the closet or your garage. As you grew, that simply took too long.

And its reports tell you what’s selling and what’s not, so you can make better, smarter purchasing decisions.
