ManufacturingInventory Management3MediumFinance/Accounting Lead$ implied
A small manufacturer needs inventory costing that works and is considering Cin7 but is unsure if the implementation timeline is realistic and how to handle historical data.
QBO cannot handle inventory costing for a manufacturer with landed costs and staged supplier payments, but full ERPs like NetSuite and Acumatica are costly and have longer implementations.
