Inventory

maleego · ‎08-16-2023

Hello. Its my first month on Square and while many features are amazing, coming from Quickbooks, I find many to be tedious and very backwards. Hopefully this gets to the right person to modify things in order to make it easier for us business owners OR I may be doing something wrong and can be guided to do it correctly.

The limitation on 250 skus per item seems poor if you are going to support retail businesses of all sorts. I am a clothing business, we have several colors and sizes in a particular item. Please allow a larger sku allowance, perhaps an unlimited allowance. I dont suppose it could be that large.

Second, adding inventory received is tedious. There must be an easier way to narrow down the item you want to receive and easily adjust. For example, I received black dress shirts in multiple sizes, I should be able to easily view just that group of items and adjust accordingly.

I havent gotten too far into barcode printing since this is a new feature on Register, but it seems you have to create a label for each item. Again, this needs to be an easy way to view a group of items and print labels for all items in one copy paste kind of way.

Inventory management needs a lot of attention overall. Perhaps I can explain better if there is an internal Square representative that handles these things.

@maleego I like your feature request for receiving a black dress shirt in multiple sizes. There is definitely some optimization that can take place to speed up inputting such items.

Let me know when you have created the request on Ideate. I will definitely vote it up.
