5. Improved inventory management

The new version's inventory management tools have been designed to take care of more Manufacturing business-specific needs. You can easily track and transfer inventory across multiple locations (whether in the bin, on the pallet, or in the store). With barcode labeling, your employees will be better able to locate specific items in the warehouse. Managing inventory with the new QuickBooksEnterprise21.0 is so efficient and less hectic.

6. Sales order fulfillment management

Get notified when a new sales order comes from clients. Track progress on inventory, logistics, and delivery of products to your customers. In the new version, order tracking is much easier.

More to this, you can confirm if defective products were in a good state before leaving the warehouse or not. Hence, this helps in resolving issues regarding returns and refunds.

Create customer groups based on type, location, and status. It is easier to manage customers' information and to keep track of changes in customer details. You can choose specific customer groups when sending statements or invoices.

In case there are changes in the prices of products, it is easier to update the price changes using the barcode label.

9. QuickBooks tool hub

The QuickBooks tool hub is the section that guides users to troubleshoot whatever challenges they may face when using the software.
