Total Weight
QuickBooks does not provide any support for including the weight of the items you are selling in the order. You can use custom fields to add a field for the unit weight of an inventory item, but if you want the invoice to show the extended weight (the unit weight multiplied by the quantity shipped), QuickBooks cannot help you. This is where CCRQInvoice steps in.
This calculation will include the quantity of certain item types. You can choose the types to work with in the Preferences function. You can work with the following item types:
Inventory Part.
Non-Inventory Part.
Inventory Assembly.
Service
Other Charge
When you initially install the program it will be set to work with just Inventory Part, Non-Inventory Part and Inventory Assembly items.
The preferences control both the Extended Weight and Total Quantity functions. Only those items that you select will be included in the calculations. If you include (for example) Service items because you want them to be included in the total quantity, but you dont want them added to the total weight, just leave the unit weight field empty or zero.
For Inventory Assembly items: You can enter a weight for an assembly the program will not calculate the weight based on the part list for this assembly.
For Group items: If you enter a unit weight for a Group item, that will be ignored. The program will look at the items in the group and will calculate an extended weight for each item. If the items are printed in the invoice, they will show their weight values. If the items are hidden (not printed), the extended weight will not show for the Group, but the weight will be added to the total weight for the invoice.
Other item types are ignored, even if you enter a unit weight for the item.
