QuickBooks Manufacturing Features
QuickBooks Enterprise has all the tools you need to keep your inventory management and sales fulfillment on track
Assemblies management
See how many finished goods you can build with on-hand materials and subassemblies. Automatically create build or purchase orders when inventory drops below preset points. Build all subassemblies automatically with a final build order, instead of entering them individually. Easily replace components across multiple assemblies.
Mobile barcode scanning
Get a single dashboard to monitor your incoming and outgoing cash flow. Track invoices, sales receipts, credit memos, payments, and more. Manage expenses by tracking paid and upcoming vendor bills, and consolidate multiple reports without manual calculations.
Lot and serial number tracking
Assign serial numbers to individual items to check warranty coverage, match specific customers to purchased products, and more. Lot number tracking allows you to track products manufactured together in the same batch. If a recall is ever needed, you can recall items from the specific lot rather than all items.
Bill of materials cost tracking
Track bill of materials costs for each product, including the cost of each subassembly, as well as labor and overhead. Allow QuickBooks to automatically update your assembly costs and item prices when component costs change, instead of making manual updates. And track costs your way with either FIFO or average cost accounting.
Centralized source of vendor information
The Alternate Vendors Center* increases visibility into vendor contact, item, and pricing information so it’s available when you need it. It saves you time by quickly importing vendor list prices, reducing the need to track down critical vendor information, and allowing you to create purchase orders with vendor information automatically included. And now, new alternate vendor reports further enhance your visibility by listing vendors in key inventory reports.
Factor in charges and fees with landed cost
Landed cost* helps you identify the true cost of your products by factoring in freight, duties, taxes, tariffs, currency conversion, and insurance. With Enterprise, you can automate all these factors into your accounting to get the total cost of a product or shipment so you can maintain the margins you need to stay profitable. Now you can also set up landed cost accounts as “COGS” or “Other current assets.” Plus, you can accurately calculate landed cost for old item bills from closed accounting periods.
Cycle count
Cycle count lets you count inventory in real time without having to shut down your warehouse. Use mobile barcode scanners,* or scan and upload inventory counts from different warehouses to a central inventory dashboard. Find and adjust discrepancies, and import or export inventory counts when you need them.
Purchase order management
Improve the efficiency of your purchase order management. See which purchase orders are outstanding, and assign recipients directly in QuickBooks – no printout required.
Automate your pricing strategy with Advanced Pricing*
Your pricing rules may be complex, but implementing and managing them shouldn’t be. Built exclusively for QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks Advanced Pricing lets you control, customize, and automate your pricing, right within QuickBooks. No more manual updates — now you can easily change your prices to keep your bottom line upwardly mobile.
* Available with QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum and Diamond subscriptions
Inventory categorization and expiration dates*
Establish up to four levels of categorization on inventory and save time by using categories to report on items. Keep your inventory up to date, sell more quickly, and reduce business losses by assigning expiration dates, which can also be included on sales orders, invoices, and other customer communications.
* Expiration dates are available with QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum and Diamond subscriptions
Track and transfer inventory between multiple locations
Easily track product movement and storage down to the bin or pallet across staging areas, multiple warehouses, trucks, and even ships prior to import. Fulfill different parts of the same order from multiple warehouses.

QuickBooks Enterprise has flexible reporting, tracking, and fulfillment designed for manufacturing businesses
Inventory valuation summary report
Understand what your inventory is worth with this customizable report. View how much inventory you have on hand, what it costs, and what the sales price is. That way you can understand both an asset’s value on your books and how much you can sell it for. This report also lets you view and track how inventory is organized with up to four levels of categorization for granularity and control.
Inventory stock status by item or vendor report
See what inventory you have available, on sales order, and available for assemblies. Then use more customizable reports to view item shortage and status by vendor.
Assembly shortage by item
Get a snapshot of what inventory you need for key assemblies, and see when the next delivery date of each item is. Further customize your reports as needed.
Alternate vendor reports
Improve your visibility into alternate vendors by listing them in key inventory reports like inventory stock status by item and inventory valuation summary. Plus, you can simplify reordering from alternate vendors by easily accessing them in frequently used reports.
Backorder tracking
Easily see backordered items on purchase orders, invoices, and other sales forms, what still needs to be shipped, and what you are still expecting from vendors.
Automatically send statements
Automate recurring statements to different customer groups based on their needs and tendencies. Get paid faster by setting up regular reminders to let customers know what that they owe.
E-commerce integration*
Simplify e-commerce management, avoid stockouts, and gain a clearer picture of your profitability by integrating QuickBooks with top online stores and marketplaces.

QuickBooks ERP READINESS
QuickBooks Mid Market Solutions
QuickBooks isn’t just for small businesses; we make it work for medium-sized enterprises as well by utilizing the API for integrations and apps. However, if you’ve hit a ceiling in what QuickBooks can do for your growing business, Fourlane is just one of a small handful of firms that have bridged the gap between QuickBooks and ERP systems.
Most firms in the ERP space are either IT or accounting focused but don’t understand the system AND the financial piece – we know both and can help. Fourlane has consultants certified in QuickBooks and other ERP software such as NetSuite and Acumatica.
