Inventory Nightmare

US QuickBooks Pro for Windows : 2010

Problem: Client bought business in October & purchased inventory $19,000.00. Inventory set up incorrectly, so to prepare taxes for the end of the year we put it all under non-inventory and then adjusted for cogs (financials not fixed) Not really sure how much was left over.  On January 2, 2011 entered inventory that was on hand in the amount of approximately $22,000 according to opening balance equity. 

Any suggestions as to how to fix the loss of -29,000 due to all of the inventory being listed as non inventory?  Could we use the inventory entered on 01-02-2011 minus anything purchased as our ending balance? I also need to take the $22,000 out of opening balance equity?

I'm open to any suggestions... Help please

Yes  inventory in QB is a nightmare..period...I can't answer this but send an email to tx_rustler@yahoo.com.. I am surprised he didn't pick this one up already and answer it. He is very very knowledgeable with the inventory function and issues in QBs.

Hope this helps.

 @ Lynda

Rustler ....

sticks his hands in his pockets
looks down at the ground
skuffs his boot in the sand
and says

"Awe shucks, ma'am."

 @ Hking

  If I understand this ending inventory is 22K  

starting inventory is 19K  

I'm not sure where the 29K number is coming from, can you explain  

OBE is moved to owner equity using a journal entry

debit OBE

credit owner equity

If I've helped, mark it solved.

The 29K is what the tax attorney and I figured that the cogs is.  I have figured out what I have to do, but I did check out your blog and that gave me the answer.
