Manufacturers who rely on QuickBooks alone often end up with gaps in their data and workarounds that slow everything down. The right QuickBooks add-ons fill those gaps by extending QuickBooks with job costing, inventory management, work orders, and more. This post covers the top add-ons to consider and what each one does best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border-left: 4px solid #2f7cff; background-color: #f0f6ff; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0; color: #1a1a1a;\">\n  <p style=\"margin: 0 0 8px 0; font-weight: 700; font-size: 0.85em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.05em; color: #2f7cff;\">TL;DR<\/p>\n  <ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px; color: #1a1a1a; line-height: 1.7;\">\n    <li>QuickBooks Online can&#8217;t convert raw materials into finished goods automatically. You need an add-on to fill that gap.<\/li>\n    <li>QuickBooks Enterprise handles assemblies but still lacks work-in-progress tracking, bills of materials, and production scheduling.<\/li>\n    <li>Katana MRP adds real-time production planning and inventory management on top of QuickBooks.<\/li>\n    <li>Method CRM adds a two-way QuickBooks sync plus custom sales workflows, making it the right choice if your primary gap is on the order management and customer side.<\/li>\n    <li>The decision between Katana and Method comes down to whether your biggest gap is production-side (Katana) or sales and order management-side (Method).<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-use-quickbooks-for-manufacturing\">Can you use QuickBooks for manufacturing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While QuickBooks offers some inventory management tools like tracking raw materials, managing customer communications, and pricing inventory, it has limitations for manufacturers. It&#8217;s primarily designed to manage the financial side of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, QuickBooks isn&#8217;t an optimal solution on its own when it comes to more product-oriented tasks like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Work-in-process (WIP) inventory tracking.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Bills of materials.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Production planning and scheduling.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Managing complex operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quickbooks-online-s-manufacturing-capabilities\">QuickBooks Online&#8217;s manufacturing capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">QuickBooks Online provides a solid foundation for financial management, but its manufacturing-specific features are limited. While it offers basic inventory management capabilities like tracking raw materials and finished goods, growing businesses with complex processes may find QuickBooks Online insufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, QuickBooks Online can track individual component items but can&#8217;t convert these into finished items automatically. This requires manual reconciliation of component stock reductions and finished product stock increases. Additionally, QuickBooks Online may experience performance issues when handling large volumes of data as operations scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quickbooks-enterprise-s-manufacturing-capabilities\">QuickBooks Enterprise&#8217;s manufacturing capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">QuickBooks Enterprise offers more industry-specific features for manufacturers compared to QuickBooks Online. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Deeper inventory management.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Bill of materials cost tracking.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Job costing.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Multi-location support.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Custom price levels for different customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">QuickBooks Enterprise also provides pre-loaded reporting templates for better production line visibility, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Inventory Valuation Summary Report.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Inventory Stock Status by Item Report.<\/li>\n<li class=\"\">Assembly Shortage by Item Report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While QuickBooks Enterprise offers more manufacturing-specific capabilities than QuickBooks Online, it still has limitations and a steeper learning curve. Its core strength remains in accounting and financial management rather than optimizing manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group m-section-thin m-bluebanner\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center simpletoc-hidden is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" id=\"h-sick-of-missing-invoices-and-other-data-in-quickbooks\">Sick of missing invoices and other data in QuickBooks?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons m-justified-center is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button m-button cta-content crm-cta1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/quickbooks-crm\/?utm_campaign=2024ctas&amp;utm_term=cta-banner1b\">See Method&#8217;s two-way sync<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-more-out-of-quickbooks-for-manufacturers\">How to get more out of QuickBooks for manufacturers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To maximize the value of QuickBooks for manufacturing businesses, consider integrating compatible third-party apps that support wider business processes. Two key areas to focus on are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-a-quickbooks-mrp\">Use a QuickBooks MRP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A QuickBooks material requirements planning (MRP) suite lets you oversee your entire manufacturing process, from inventory management to production management and warehousing. Unlike QuickBooks alone, an MRP is purpose-built for manufacturing tasks and can account for specific challenges you&#8217;ll face as you scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-add-a-quickbooks-crm\">Add a QuickBooks CRM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer relationship management (CRM) system houses information on current and potential customers, supporting front office teams in driving sales and growth. The right CRM will integrate with your QuickBooks account, connecting financial data to help make informed decisions on pricing, market targeting, and sales process optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-quickbooks-add-ons-for-manufacturing\">Top QuickBooks add-ons for manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-katana-mrp\">Katana MRP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"499\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-1024x499.webp\" alt=\"A screenshot of a Katana MRP dashboard.\" class=\"wp-image-21288 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-1024x499.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-300x146.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-768x374.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676.webp 1100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/499;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-1024x499.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-300x146.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676-768x374.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.method.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/katana-e1674499656676.webp 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Image credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/katanamrp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Katana<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Katana is a popular manufacturing and inventory management software that integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks.
