I am monitoring the progress of QBO for a long time and decided to chat with a sales rep about it. Coming from QBD Prem, and using bulk and assembly items a lot, I had lots of questions how to handle this in QBO. The short answer, QBO does not handle either.

I still wanted to check out more of the QBO functionality to get a handle of what it would take to move from QBD to QBO. The person on the chat send me a link to a QBO test "advanced" test company, which supposedly should have inventory control included, but after spending about an hour going through various functions I could not find any option to look and/or adjust inventory. I also did not find an option where I could make inventory adjustments to use this function to convert bulk inventory in lbs or kilo to our sales inventory based on ounces.

I also saw lots of "bloat" and wasted space on the screen and lots of comments if I want to try KI functionality. Is there an option to switch most/all the bloat off to get more real functions on the main screen?

And is there somebody using QBO that is also using assembly items or bulk inventory? If yes, would you mind telling me how you resolved this?

And can somebody tell me where is find any inventory function in the test company?

One other worrying function is, that if I would go for the plus plan there is no backup/restore included? So, if I get something wrong, like imports from Square, Stripe, Paypal, or our web-orders, how an I supposed to correct it without a restore function? How are you guys handling something like this?
