Business help, (Quickbooks)

[cbeefman]

Ok, I know this is probably not the best place to seek assistance for this but it's worth a shot I think.

I operate a VERY small business out of my home selling bulk cleaning products (Bleach, Disinfectants, Laundry Detergent, etc.) and I recently acquired quickbooks by Intuit.
While setting it up, the tutorial recommended I list my products as "inventory parts" so I did, and I am able to track what I have, when to re-order, etc. However, my question is, How do I add PREVIOUS orders into the system? As I see it right now, if I add an order for Jane Doe, and she orders 3 items, how do I tell it NOT to pull those 3 items from EXISTING inventory? I'm trying to add all orders back to January so if I cant tell it to ignore the inventory I will end up not having negative amounts of stock which is of course going to throw everything else off.

Any quickbook users out there?

I used to use it for accounting and bookkeeping for a magazine company but I'm afraid I don't know how to assist you with the inventory issues.

Sorry man...

well, you can manually make inventory adjustments I think. Inventory activities > adjust quantity on hand

Many thanks, that worked.
I entered all the data, all the while ignoring the messages about not having enough stock, then when i was done i adjusted the inventory
