While only available in the Platinum (Advanced Inventory) Edition, it is meant to save you time when building out roles, and when switching roles, for picker ad packers, as well as associated actions and approval processes.

As you can imagine, the more fragments you have the more of a maintenance issue you have. The lower the number the better it is. The magic number is under 20, but if you are over this then it isn’t the end of the world. You are just in the yellow zone. The fewer fragments you have the quicker that the file can be read. File fragments in and of themselves are not the problem – you will never have 0 fragments. They are just one of the gauges to measure file health (highest I’ve seen was over 300, and that was a rough one!).

I have the inventory scanner, barcode scanner, setting up the Advanced Inventory preferences…everything… NO USERS.

In a previous post we set up our QuickBooks Enterprise file to calculate Landed Cost, or the cost to get an inventory item to a recipient’s door. Landed cost is important, because it helps you understand the total cost of your items that are shipped, instead of only calculating the cost of creating the item. As any manufacturer or distributor knows, knowing your COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) is a critical need for business planning and pricing. If you need a refresher on how to turn on Landed Cost, please see the previous article below, then carry on with our post.

Continuing our thread of improvements to this year’s version of QuickBooks Enterprise, today we are talking about the brand new Landed Cost feature for QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum tier. This new feature is available in both the US and Canadian versions of QuickBooks Enterprise.
