    Hi MarieT 

     

    Accountright's inventory module does have a few problems (bugs) and can cause unwanted issues. This is when it is used correctly. If it's also used incorrectly, this can cause even more problems.

     

    There is no easy way to switch off inventory. MYOB's advice would typically be to make all your current inventory inactive, rename with a zz in front of each Item Number and then import all the Items again without 'I Inventory'.

     

    Huge exercise if you have a large number of items. Items cannot be renumbered in bulk. And you end up with twice the number of Items. If you are thinking of going down this path, get in touch with a specific MYOB specialist company - google 'Items Remover for MYOB' - they can provide some suggestions if you have a large number of items.

     

    Regards

    Gavin

Hi MarieT , if you need to have continuous awareness of inventory levels to manage your business, then stick with it, and engage someone to help you sort it out. 

 

Inventory does need to be set up correctly in the first instance.

    thanks Mike, I agree. Inventory was set up prior to my engagement; I have amended the linked accounts and it's working well. The main problem I believe is due to staff doing adjusting journal entries when they do stocktake. That's been discussed with the owner. Thanks again for your help
