Hi there! It's great you're looking to capture that level of detail in your inventory. While QuickBooks Desktop doesn't have a dedicated "Manufacturer" field built-in, you can use custom fields to achieve this. You can create custom fields specifically for items, allowing you to store and track manufacturer information for each of your inventory items. This information can then be shown on sales forms, such as invoices and sales orders, and also be used within reports.To begin, you can define these custom fields within the item list. Once created, these fields can be added to the layout of your sales forms so that the information is displayed. You can also customize reports to include these custom fields, which will allow you to sort and filter data by manufacturer. Keep in mind, when adding custom fields to forms, you may need to adjust the layout to ensure everything displays correctly.Check out this article for step by step instructions: Create and use custom fields in QuickBooks Desktop
