I would like to know how some of you handle setting up items in Quickbooks pro. I have the invoices & estimates set up to print only the quantity, description, and the amount, but there is no option to turn off the item in the initial filling in of the invoice.
What I am getting at is while there may be a set item price of lets say an OSHA pre printed 10 x 14 sign, e.g. I just did 48 decals for a trucking company, that's totally different, I may have a different price if I had done just two of them, etc. With so many things having so many different prices, how does one set this up? Any Tips?
Thanks! Tony B

Hi Tony. I don't try to give every item a code. For instance I have 18x24al and 18x24cor. If I do an aluminum sign 18x24 that needs a different price I just change the price as I tab through. As you tab, the item is highlighted and can be changed at that point easily.

For my custom signs, I use general headings like Alumalite, Aluminum, MDO. You can set up a heading of say sandblasted signs then sub headings under that like Redwood, HDU, Cedar, or vehicle graphics with sub headings of vinyl, paint, graphics, etc. Just leave the price in the set up menu blank and fill it in on the fly. You can also add to the preset description by putting the cursor at the end of it and just continue on with a more customized description.
Example: I type in MDO, hit tab and the description reads...MDO plywood sign. I put the cursor at the end and type in the rest such as... 4'x8' two sided with logo.
