Inventory management

[Mayank Bhatia]

Hi,

I am trying to setup GNU cash for my wife's business. She makes handmade
jewelry and sells it on etsy and art/craft shows. I tried the pre-defined
asset types but none of them are suitable. What I want is an inventory
account type and each new item going as a transaction under it, rather than
creating new accounts for each item.

I tried stock account but it is not suitable either. Some people have
suggested that I maintain inventory in separate excel file and then at the
end of the month transfer COGS and taxes to different accounts. Is that the
only way?

thanks
Mayank
