How we track the sales aspect (Revenue) AS we know that most pure water and bottle water businesses has a sales rep and buses that load the items for supply.

We track the buses as Customer names and invoice the total numbers of bags given to them as Receivables and Map to the sales rep. upon return we use the receive payment window to track the numbers of bags sold as income and to know how many bags are left as receivables.

With this setup you can check sales report by rep in other to know which rep is doing well and if it’s a company that does performance appraisals that rep can be appraise for the good work done for that period of time.

How we setup the inventory and Assembly items. Using the item list menu on QuickBooks Desktop Premier Edition, we setup the raw materials which are PREFORM, CAPS, LABELS and SHRINK WRAPS as inventory item including the cost price and quantity on hand and setup the BOTTLE WATER as Inventory assembly. In the event of setting up the bottle water you will be required to also setup the bill of materials used in the production of the bottle water and the quantity of materials used in producing a bottle water. When all this is in place you will be able to see how many bottle water can be produced with the quantity of hand on the system and once you build assembly the raw materials reduces as the finish products increases. In the meanwhile, the business doesn’t sell a bottle water rather they sell in dozen. This means we still need to have an assembly item under an assembly item by creating an item name called packaging as inventory assembly and pick the number of bottle water that makes a pack or dozen. This means that we can’t get a pack or dozen if we don’t have a bottle water as each because as we assembly the pack or dozen it decreases the bottle water in each and increases the pack or dozen.
