The new inventory program will not provide you with new price level features, it provides a more flexible way to update per-item price level lists in QuickBooks. If you can create the price levels you want manually in QB, but find that it is a chore to keep up to date, this may help. If you can't get price level lists to work the way you want at all, this won't help. Feel free to contact us directly via email if you wish to discuss this further.

It is not full featured but it works great for inventory and quoting and invoicing. I am also using 2009 Pro and now have purchased Enterprise 10.0. Sadly Enterprise doesn't provide price levels that work well for me. I need a different percentage discount for many different types of products within a price level. I then want the prices and costs to update when I receive new list prices from a vendor. Will your new inventory product help me with this?

It depends on what you want to do. If you are just looking for the calculations as discussed earlier, you don't have to print in CCRQInvoice. You enter your order in QuickBooks, save it, run CCRQInvoice, and we store the calculated values back into your QuickBooks order. Then you can print there. In some cases, people want the printed order to have features that QuickBooks won't support. For example, if you have multiple page invoices and you only want the total to print on the last page, you would print with CCRQInvoice (since QuickBooks can't do that). Our form designer provides features not available in QuickBooks, such as the ability to print any field in a bar code format. And there is more to come in future releases...

You would add fields for the height and width, and a dividing factor. The program will take height X width and divide by the factor, then round to the precision that you want, and use that as the quantity value to multiply by the rate. In the program you will find the "calculated quantity" feature, and select the "volume" option. You just have to set up the "length" value to always be a "1" to make it work for area.

I want to have Three aditional fields on my invoice that will do calculations. Now lets see if I can explain this right. I want to enter on one line item Item#, Hieght,and Width only (in inches) then let Quickbooks/CCRQ figure the rest. 1st field(H x W /144)=sq ft then 2nd field(sq ft x Rate)=Price then 3rd field(Price x Quantity)=Total Can CCRQInvoice do this? because Quickbooks cant do it alone I sell product by the square foot.

There isn't a way to get that as it stands now. If you would like to consider a custom version (for a fee), contact me at charlie@ccrsoftware.com. This feature is on the "wish list" but it isn't very high on it right at this moment. For the second part, that is outside the scope of our program currently. We only work with the BOM structure that QB manages. You might take a look at this article for some ideas, although it is a workaround at best: http://qbblog.ccrsoftware.info/2008/06/groups-for-custom-manufacturers/ Bev, the program wasn’t initially intended to be a full pick list like you are looking for.

I see that we can create a detailed bill of materials, but there may be other items on the picklist that are not assemblies (kits as we call them). There must be a way to do this with yoru software but I cannot easily find it. Also, we sell items that have up to 4 color choices, so creating an assembly with all 4 optional colors means creating 16 items in QB. Is there a way to change an item on an assembly or create a flexible assembly? Thx We need to create a picklist that shows all the components of the assembly that we create.
