PSA: Item Receipts in QBO Inventory – Podcast

Episode 137 | PSA: Item Receipts in QBO Inventory | Royalwise

Table of Contents

Podcast Episode Overview

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.
