Negative inventory in QuickBooks can be a significant challenge, causing discrepancies in your financial statements and operational disruptions. Our specialized repair service is designed to fix all instances of negative inventory in your QuickBooks file, ensuring your inventory records are accurate and reliable. Here’s how our service works and what you can expect during and after the repair process.
What Causes Negative Inventory?
Negative inventory in QuickBooks typically occurs when sales transactions are entered before the corresponding purchase transactions. This leads to situations where you appear to have sold items that were never recorded as being in stock. Common causes include:
- Recording sales before purchases
- Incorrect data entry
- Delays in updating purchase transactions
Our Comprehensive Negative Inventory Repair Service
Our repair service thoroughly analyzes your QuickBooks file to identify and correct all instances of negative inventory. Here’s what our service includes:
1. Detailed Analysis of Your Data File
We begin with an in-depth analysis of your QuickBooks data file to identify all items and dates where the quantity on hand (QOH) went negative. This analysis helps us understand the scope of the issue and plan the necessary adjustments.
2. Correction of Negative Inventory
We fix all occurrences of negative inventory by adjusting the dates and quantities in your transactions. This ensures that purchases are recorded before sales, aligning your inventory records with actual stock levels.
3. Verification of the Repaired File
After making the necessary adjustments, we verify the repaired file to ensure there are no remaining instances of negative inventory. We also confirm that the inventory data is accurate and reflects correctly in QuickBooks.
Changes After the Repair
1. Adjustments to COGS and Inventory Asset Account Balances
Correcting negative inventory may lead to changes in your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Inventory Asset account balances. These adjustments are necessary to ensure that your financial statements accurately reflect your inventory movements.
2. Changes to the Opening Balance Equity Account
During the repair process, we use the Opening Balance Equity account to add the necessary inventory adjustments. This may result in changes to the balance of this account.
3. Adjusting Journal Entries
After the repair, your bookkeeper will need to add adjusting journal entries to reconcile any changes in account balances. These entries will ensure that your financial records are accurate and complete.
