FAQ
Can you fix incorrect inventory values and COGS?
I can investigate the agreed items and transactions, identify supported causes, and propose corrections. Negative inventory is one possible cause: Intuit explains that selling items before their purchases are recorded can distort inventory
. Do you work with QuickBooks Online and Desktop?
Yes, subject to confirming your exact edition, year, region, subscription, and inventory features. These environments can use different costing methods and settings. I will assess your existing configuration before agreeing to imports
. Can you organize my products, SKUs, and item accounts?
Yes. I can clean the agreed product list, standardize naming and SKUs, and review income, COGS, and inventory asset mappings. Item merges, inactivation, or changes affecting previously posted transactions require approval
Why does QuickBooks show negative inventory?
Possible causes include sales recorded before purchases, incorrect opening quantities, missing purchase entries, or differences between recorded and actual stock. Intuit recommends reviewing Inventory Valuation Detail and checking quantities against a physical count
. Will changing an item’s purchase-cost field fix historical COGS?
Not necessarily. Historical valuation depends on the recorded transactions and your costing method, not simply the current cost shown on an item record. Intuit’s Desktop guidance describes how purchase costs and transaction sequencing affect average cost and COGS.
Can you switch my inventory valuation method?
A costing-method change is not included automatically. Availability depends on your product and configuration, and the change can affect financial reports. For example, switching eligible QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise accounts to FIFO recalculates inventory-related transactions
Do you perform a physical stock count or guarantee the recorded quantity?
No. You or your authorized stocktaking team must provide a dated, approved count. I can compare that count with QuickBooks and prepare supported adjustments within scope. Intuit distinguishes quantity adjustments from value
What do you need to begin?
Please provide your QuickBooks version, item count, date range, product list, valuation reports, relevant purchase and sales records, and any approved stock count. Use secure user invitations rather than sharing passwords. Closed-period corrections
