Adding inventory to an existing account

Bnld

Hi, we are a SME that has been operating for over 50 years which includes a number of years of using MYOB AccountRight.

We have always been able to track our inventory ourselves but are now looking at incorporating this function into MYOB and like other community questions I have seen, we are getting the RED BOX with "You have sales or purchases on file for this item".

With over 350 items can anyone recommend a solution other than having to go and edit or delete each transaction, or having to go and create new item numbers and names for each product so we can use this function?

 

Regards

David

Hi @Bnld 

Only options available through MYOB is to rename each item one by one, for example change ItemA to zzItemA and make it inactive. Then create a new ItemA with I Inventory setting. You end up with twice the number of items, but this way you can 're-use' the original item number and name.

 

A neater solution is to get someone like MYOX Services to change your existing items to I Inventory as this must be done using specialist software.
