Quickbooks is barely of use in manufacturing, but it's what this small company is using.
I've revamped production and done an inventory. They've never had Locations for their material. Not in the computer, not on their "Row, Bin, Shelf". I assigned locations.
Yeah, for sure. Unbelievable. Hunt for any material needed. Bizarre.
I was able to figure out fairly early how to add stock locations on the..Item Master (it's not called that in Quickbooks, but that's the term with which I'm familiar).
Today, I was finally able to figure out how to add a Location column to Cycle Count and Physical Inventory Report printouts.
I was also able to add a column on the Pick List for orders, but the system isn't reading the location from the Item Master and populating the column. At least not in reprinting a given existing Pick List. Maybe with the creation of a brand new one it will, but I don't know and want to go with the assumption that it won't as the situation currently exists.
How do I do it? How do I get the system to populate the column with the location?
BTW, the boss/owner was shocked that I made these discoveries. He's an old hand with Quickbooks. I haven't ever done squat with it, so this was a good day.
Now I need help. Anyone?
