Hi,
I sell soap in the local farmers' market, and I bought Quicken Home and Business only to find out that it was too limited. So, I bought QuickBooks Professional. It's still too limited.
My problem is that QB Pro doesn't allow an accounting system where one buys products for inventory and depletes them to make a final product. It expects you buy, say 100 completed widgets for inventory and sell them off as widgets. It turns out their Manufacturing version (something like $500!) supports the concept of buying parts and making a final product. There is no way I can justify spending $500 more now, so I need a workaround.
I am sure other people here use QB Pro. What do you do to account for your inventory and products you sell?
Thanks in advance!
