PSA: Item Receipts in QBO Inventory
About this episode
The episode discusses the new item receipts feature in QuickBooks Online and its implications for inventory-heavy businesses.
QuickBooks Online has added item receipts — but before you click that irreversible "turn on" button, you need to understand what you're getting into. Dan DeLong of School of Bookkeeping joins Alicia to explain how item receipts separate the receiving of merchandise from the billing event, why that matters for inventory-heavy businesses, and who actually needs this feature. If you don't have a receiving warehouse step in your workflow, this one's probably not for you.
