Glad to have you here in the Community, Mfenn05.
Allow me to share some insights about integrating barcode scanning for sub-items in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Setting up barcodes tied to different units of measure for each item or component of a product is not yet available in QBDT. However, you can still create a new inventory item for BBQ sauce without using the unit of measure. Since you can't scan a barcode for each item when measured as a case, QuickBooks will automatically consider it as one barcode number.
As a workaround, you can create a separate item for each BBQ sauce without specifying a unit of measure. This will allow you to create your own barcode for scanning. I can guide you through the process.
- From the Inventory menu, select New Inventory item.
- Choose Inventory Part as the Type.
- Fill in the necessary information such as Item Name/Number, Barcode Number, and Income Account.
- Then select, OK.

In addition, QBDT integrates with different third-party applications to add powerful functionality to your accounting processes. For now, you can follow my colleague's steps on how to search and use a third-party application to set up barcodes tied to different units of measure for each item or component of a product.
For additional guidance on how to set up the barcode, you can follow the instructions above given by my colleague @Tori.
