We know a way how to reserve a quantity for an item in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Antreas. Let us guide you through the process. 

 

We can create an invoice or sales receipt to secure the quantity of an item since the sales order feature is unavailable in the QBO UK version. We need to turn on the Track stock quantity on hand feature so you can add your stock. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon on the top menu and select Account and settings.
  2. Click the Sales tab.
  3. Tap the Edit button in the Products and services section.
  4. Turn on the Show Product/Service column on sales forms option.
  5. Turn on both Track quantity and price/rate and Track stock quantity on hand.
  6. Press Save and then Done.

 

To learn more about this one, check out this article how to manage your stock in QBO Plus and Advanced: Track your stock in QuickBooks Online. 

 

After setting up your inventory items, we can monitor them as they are sold. If you receive payment later, we can create an invoice and if they immediately pay, we can add a sales receipt.

You can use a 3rd party inventory management app with the sales order feature to sync with QBO.
