“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Yes, Coefficient enables sophisticated automated QuickBooks Online inventory valuation exports to Google Sheets weekly, though this requires a custom approach due to QuickBooks’ limited native inventory reporting capabilities.
You’ll get comprehensive inventory analytics including ABC analysis, location-based valuations, and automated reorder alerts that provide deeper insights than native QuickBooks inventory reports.
Set up automated inventory valuation exports using Coefficient
QuickBooks Online doesn’t provide a dedicated inventory valuation summary report through its API, but Coefficient offers excellent workarounds using direct access to item data and custom query capabilities that deliver comprehensive inventory insights.
How to make it work
Step 1. Connect Coefficient to your QuickBooks Online account.
Install Coefficient from the Google Workspace Marketplace and authenticate your QuickBooks connection. This secure connection gives you access to all inventory item data that QuickBooks tracks internally.
Step 2. Import inventory data using Objects & Fields method.
Select “Import from Objects & Fields” → “Item” object and choose valuation fields: Item name and SKU, Quantity on hand, Unit cost/Average cost, Current value (calculated field), Reorder point, and preferred vendor information.
Step 3. Filter for inventory items only.
Apply the filter “Type = Inventory” to exclude non-inventory items like services or non-inventory parts. This ensures your valuation calculations focus only on actual inventory assets.
Step 4. Schedule weekly updates for consistent tracking.
Click “Schedule” and select “Weekly” with your preferred day and time. This creates consistent inventory valuation snapshots that let you track inventory value trends over time and monitor slow-moving inventory automatically.
Step 5. Build enhanced valuation analytics.
Create ABC analysis for inventory optimization, build location-based valuations using custom fields, calculate inventory turnover ratios, and set up automated reorder alerts. Combine with sales data for demand forecasting and link to purchase orders for incoming inventory tracking.
Get deeper inventory insights than native QuickBooks
Automated inventory valuation exports provide data-driven inventory management capabilities with minimal manual effort.
