I am in the process of developing a job-costing strategy. As it is right now, the only way I can figure doing it accuratlty is to start tracking inventory. Track van stock, shop stock, etc. I guess I'll probably use Access or possibly use Quickbooks (not likely due to software's inflexability). But I am wondering if any of you are tracking inventory. A short list of questions if I may, and as alwways I'm interested in owner/manager input as well as employee.

1. Does your company track inventory?
2. What was the point that made it worthwhile to begin tracking? How and why did your company decide it was needed?
3. Who is responsible for the paperwork?
4. How do you varify accuracy?
5. What software do you use for the processes?

Thanks as always.
