QuickBooks for Mac 2014 User’s Guide 257
Inventory and purchase orders are used. Create inventory part items, write purchase orders, and create inventory-
related reports. When you created your company, QuickBooks asked whether you tracked inventory. If you
answered “Yes,” QuickBooks turned this preference on for you.
o Warn if not enough stock to sell. Cause QuickBooks to warn you when you try to sell more of an item than
you currently have in stock.
o Warn about duplicate purchase order numbers. Cause QuickBooks to warn you when you try to record a
purchase order that has the same number as a previous purchase order. The warning causes QuickBooks to
take more time to record a purchase order. If you are not concerned about duplicate numbers, do not
select this preference.
Jobs preferences
If you use job tracking, you can edit the descriptions to indicate the status of a job. Normally, these are “Pending,”
“Awarded,” “In progress,” “Closed,” and “Not awarded.” When you set up or edit the information for a job, you can
choose one of these descriptions to indicate the job's current status. A job's status appears on the Customer:Job
list and in job reports.
1 Choose QuickBooks > Preferences.
2 On the Preferences pane, select Jobs.
3 Set the preferences described below.
4 Close the Preferences window.
To change the label of a job status, enter the new status name. Once you've changed the label, all the jobs with
that status use the new label. For example, if you change the “Pending” status to “Still thinking about it,” all the
jobs with the status “Pending” now have the status “Still thinking about it.”
