Save time managing your retail activities

• Get the forms retailers need, and track daily sales easily
  Save time with more than 100 professionally designed forms templates, including many designed specifically for retailers. You get forms for handling sales returns, vendor returns and more. And you can customize them in QuickBooks to meet your exact needs. Track sales results easily, accurately and flexibly with the Sales Summary Form. Enter total payments and taxable/non-taxable sales for the day, week — or any time period you choose. Or transfer the information in one quick step from QuickBooks Point of Sale software and you never have to enter it at all! Retail Edition calculates your sales tax liability automatically, and you can easily spot cash drawer over/under discrepancies.
• Find key information about customers and vendor accounts instantly
  Get instant, accurate answers about customers and vendor accounts, open orders or POs, and more. QuickBooks Customer and Vendor Centers display all your relevant contact information and account activity for any customer or vendor in one simple screen. In one view, you can see exactly how much business you're doing with each individual vendor—without running separate reports or going to different screens. You can also sort your bills by due date so you can stay on top of your finances.
• Track materials and assemblies automatically
  Combine inventory items together and track the group as its own inventory item. It's perfect for tracking kits you assemble for sale, such as gift baskets. As you assemble the kits and increase your finished goods inventory, stocks of component items decrease automatically. Alerts let you know when to re-order, and when you don't have enough components for an assembly. Manage material and non-material costs—such as labor and overhead—to accurately track costs of goods sold in your kits.
• Apply up to 100 pricing levels per customer or item
  Set up to 100 levels of pricing discounts and link them to customers or individual items. For example, you might apply a "High-Volume Customer" discount of 10% to your best customers and a "Closeout" discount of 5% to discontinued inventory items. Set another level that reduces the price of selected items by a flat amount. QuickBooks automatically applies the correct discounts to receipts and invoices.
• Apply payments, over/underpayments, credits and refunds
  Apply a wider variety of payment types, such as write-offs and refunds, and credits from credit memos or invoices. Onscreen reminders help to ensure that overpayments, underpayments discounts and credits are handled correctly.
• Track service work orders and histories
  Service orders make it easy for service-based retail businesses to track work orders and service histories. You can scan all work orders in one place and create an invoice from any work order with one click.
