How to turn on Advanced Inventory In QuickBooks Enterprise

If you are using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, you can purchase or subscribe to Advanced Inventory which enables you to use:

  • FIFO costing
  • Multiple location inventory
  • Bar code scanning
  • Bin or lot tracking
  • Serial or lot numbers

To Turn on Advanced Inventory:

  1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.

  3. Check the Inventory and Purchase Orders are Active box.

    2. Check that Advanced Inventory Settings is no longer grayed out.
    3. Close and re-open the QuickBooks program.
