Kia Sorento Maintenance and Repair
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788Can you tell me when, where (pothole, turns and even on flat surface) and how much vibration that you feel? And on what part of the car? I think I do feel vibration when I test drove the LX 4WD. I was just driving at 30 to 40 mph on the some city and country roads. When I hit a small pothole or uneven road surface, I feel vibration or bumps. It was not strong enough. I felt the same way as I drive my sister-in-law '00 Odyssey. The four-wheel independent suspension and front & rear stabilizer bar are great for this car. Maybe I will test drive again on highways. BTW, which type of 4WD (part-time with 2H, 4L & 4H or full-time with TOD) you recommend for the Sorento? I guess full-time is the only choice with luxury package.
Placeman Posts: 44I have the EX Luxury with TOD AWD. The vibration can be felt in the steering wheel and on the floorboard. It is not abnoxious, but I can feel it. It is a very high frequency vibration which makes me think it is engine related (possibly a balance or motor mount issue). I'm going to take it on a road trip this weekend so I'll be able to get a better feel of it. At that point I will determine whether or not I want to take it into the dealership.
fmunoz1069 Posts: 35About this vibration, I feel it when I begin to accelerate, about 850rpm-1100rpm or so. I feel it on the seat bottom, not the wheel. Once I get up to speed I have no problems.It happens on turns, straight aways, It does not feel like it is coming from the engine. It feels more like a rear end vibration.
I do recommend the Sorento. It has great value and I feel confident that Kia has done their homework and did a fine job. I considered a RX300, too pricey same with the MDX. This gave me the comfort, performance and appearance I look for. You can't beat the warranty, which is another reason why I went for it, Look at how far Hyundai has come. They now build pretty good cars. Good luck. -
schip1 Posts: 97fmunoz1069, we have a 4x2 EX, almost just like yours, except ours also has the auto load leveling option. I haven't experienced anything like you described, so you certainly should keep your eyes on this possible defect (or annoyance) and get it taken care of before the 10 year warranty runs out
We've had ours for a little more than 3 weeks and it's only been driven to and from work, 70 miles round trip, mostly California freeways. It has approx 1,500 miles on it now and I haven't felt any sort of vibrations or shudders or anything. About the only thing I've noticed is that sometimes (usually when leaving work and temp is maybe 50 degrees), it shifts into reverse with a noticeable 'thump'. But that thumping sound is all relative. There have been times when it shifts into gear so quietly and smoothly, I need to look at the dash indicators to make sure it is actually in gear!
I couldn't agree with you more that the Sorento is a GREAT value. When I was adding it to our insurance policy and our agent read the Bill of Sale, he couldn't believe the entire package was less than $25,000 (before tax and license).
Within this past month, two co-workers bought a new Camry and a new Passat. I know I'm bias, but I gotta say, as nice as the other two cars are, the Sorento makes a more dramatic first impression....both exterior and interior. The Sorento may have less horsepower, but IMHO, its fit and finish is SUPERIOR to either of the other two cars! The Sorento also has more standard features.
Well....here's 'good luck' to our cars and hope your vibration problem doesn't get worse and if it does, it'll get fixed right the first time. -
mwitt58714 Posts: 44WELL I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER/AUTO BYTEL AND GAVE HIM MY ORDER EX WITH LUXURY PACKAGE /ABS/CARGO TRAY... IVE ALREADY WENT FOR ONE TEST DRIVE LOVE THE SUV...

fmunoz1069 Posts: 35I have had the tires rotated and re balanced. That is not the problem, I mean that was a different vibration (50-60 mph.), and by doing that I don't have that vibration any more. I have driven other Sorento's and they do the same thing. It only occurs at acceleration, like when the light turns green and you don't stomp on the gas pedal. So since other vehicles do it I guess it is a regular characteristic of the vehicle. I have a 2wd so I am not sure if 4wd's do this as well. I'll keep on reading to see if anyone has heard of this and I wish we can find a Kia tech that can join in on some of this stuff..
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788Maybe those who has the experience can contact the Kia Consumer Affairs for comments or suggestions. Maybe they will look at the issue more seriously after receiving many calls or emails. It is no hurt to make a phone call or drop an email. After all, this is your car. By the way, I contact them about the Kia warranty when vehicles travel outside U.S. by email. They gave me the response within hours. It was great. I couldn't find this for Toyota or Honda. They only gave you the toll free number to call.
anonymous02 Posts: 1,538
schip1 Posts: 97fmunoz1069, I believe you when you said you've "driven other Sorento's and they do the same thing". However, I can tell you that there are some Sorentos which do NOT vibrate. As reported in post #35, ours is fine. In the main "Sorento" forum, others must have read about the vibration problem you've reported here, because some new owners have specifically said theirs do NOT vibrate.
I do hope you're able to get in touch with a KIA technical expert and get this situation resolve. I can imagine how frustrating this must be...to be a proud new owner of a nice car, only to be burdened with this problem. Good luck and keep us informed. -
Placeman Posts: 44I have noticed that the vibration varies with the type of road surface I'm driving on. New asphalt seems to vibrate the most, concrete doesn't vibrate at all. I think it has to do with the tires, maybe the tread. I have the Michelin Cross Terrains. I'll double check the pressure too. That could be the culprit also.
jmejias Posts: 8Guys! This is a complete new vehicle. Give to the Sorento a chance. My Sorento at 80mph was vibrating. I got the wheels balanced. Now, is OK. On the EX model the tires are to big for the vehicle. I saw the LX and they are smaller. Maybe the LX owners do not have problems with vibrations. When from stop to acceleration I feel a vibration coming from the rear. I think is normal. There is another noise coming from the front end when turning the engine on and moving forward or in reverse every time, and I was told that is normal. I was told that is the steering system charging. I got the problem that when I am stopping my vehicle feels like my disc rotors are already glazed and need to be resurface. It just has 2500 miles. About the vibration on the front end, the only thing I can do is to install a steering damper. It will help. I am going to complain about the tires and see if the dealership will replace them for a size smaller. I don't know, anyway, good luck to all.
schip1 Posts: 97I'm not sure if I'm just lucky or totally oblivious to vibrations and strange sounds. Ours is an 4x2 EX with 1,800 miles on it and thus far, no problems at all.....no vibrations, no problems with brakes, no unusual noises. Having said this, I sure hope the tranny doesn't fall off when I back out of the garage tomorrow morning!
Talking about the big tires on the EX....just so as to familiarize myself in a non-emergency situation, I took out the spare tire this weekend. Lowering and raising it was easy enough. The hard part was dragging it out from under the car, after it had been lowered and was sitting flat on the floor! -
anonymous02 Posts: 1,538
paisan Posts: 21,181Most likely the vibrations are from over inflated tires. When companies ship vehicles they over-inflate the tires so that if they sit on a dealer lot for several months + shipping time, the tires don't get out of round. 90% of dealers will forget to check the tire-pressures before delivery and you'll get em with 40psi + in them.
30psi is about right. I think my trooper takes 32 front and 37 rear as standard tire pressures. The infamous Exploders had 26psi reccommended for them.

nautiker Posts: 32Went for a 30min testdrive in a 03 Sorento this morning --EX w/ 4wd--non-lux pkg-was raining/abt 37deg f. Overall impressions: Styling is great/materials and workmanship is great( as far as I could see)--value for $ seems excellent. I wasn't too pleased w/ the powertrain and engine, though. The engine seems noisy and unrefined past 3k rpm and much of the power seems to be lost in the transmission. I'm used to driving sewing machine-like honda 4cyl's--this may be why. Overall suspension set-up seemed very comfortable but this veh dives hard under hard-braking (non-abs model tested). Overall, seems like a good value compared to other suv's on the market. Still not confident about the engine noise/whine @ 3k rpm, though. Will have to test drive a Hyundai Sante Fe 6cyl and see if it just the design.
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788Problem? It has been a while to see a new post on Sorento Problem. I thought something big (like wipers not working, broken power door switch, etc) was happened. I am not sure about the engine noise and lost power. That's properly they use a 192hp V6 engine to pull this 4000 lbs. vehicle. The same engine on a mid-size sedan should be no problem. Anyway, I didn't notice any engine noise at about 3000 rpm (about 50 to 60 mph).
jmpats2000 Posts: 14an EX with Luxury and ABS, Spoiler..
The Dealer wouldn't sell it for 2000 less invoice.
Most dealers don't even want to sell it for 500 over invoice. I had to haggle for 2 months to find my price of 25,500. 13 of 15 dealers in MA said they couldn't sell a Silver EX with ABS for 25,500. The lowest price was 26,200. Most wanted to sell it for MSRP because of the short supply.
Anyway, if you really got it for that price, you traded something in and got lowballed on your trade.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
2 It is written to Timothy, my dear son. May God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace. | 2 To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. |
3 Timothy, I thank God for you. He is the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. | 3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. |
4 I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again. | 4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. |
5 I know that you sincerely trust the Lord, for you have the faith of your mother, Eunice, and your grandmother, Lois. | 5 I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. |
6 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. | 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. |
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. | 7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. |
8 So you must never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don't be ashamed of me, either, even though I'm in prison for Christ. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the proclamation of the Good News. | 8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, |
9 It is God who saved us and chose us to live a holy life. He did this not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan long before the world began -- to show his love and kindness to us through Christ Jesus. | 9 who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, |
10 And now he has made all of this plain to us by the coming of Christ Jesus, our Savior, who broke the power of death and showed us the way to everlasting life through the Good News. | 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. |
11 And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News. | 11 And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. |
12 And that is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of his return. | 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bowden!
Facts about Bowden
- Breed: Australian Shepherd
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bowden's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Bowden is a loving, playful 3 1/2 yr old black tri boy, with a long silky coat, who loves all people and dogs alike. He is an affectionate boy, who has the most wonderful temperament. He is calm, quiet, and well behaved in the house. He also does nicely in his crate and rides well in the car. He just needs a little direction when it comes to small things like grabbing socks or tissue.
He is happy when going for walks, playing with other dogs, or snuggling on the couch (but no cats!). He knows some basic commands like sit, shake, down, and speak. He is learning "stay" and has a fairly good recall. He is a smart boy, who listens well. His beautiful coat hides the fact that he is very thin at 47 pounds, so once he fills out he should be about 55 pounds or so.
Bowden is fostered in Oviedo
Our adoption fee is $250.00 (over 10 yrs $125.00), this helps cover some of the dogs expenses. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccinations, heartworm tested and on preventative. You must be willing to travel to the dog to meet/adopt .
If interested in adopting, please complete our Adoption Application.
Other Pets at New Spirit Aussie Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bowden, a Orlando Australian Shepherd dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd for sale in Orlando, or seeking a Australian Shepherd dog from a breeder in Orlando.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Orlando already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Orlando breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd breeders who help with Australian Shepherd rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Orlando paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ford did not unveil a show car, but simply announced that the Mach 1 will return as the third and presumably last special edition of the current Mustang. With production timed to correspond with the Mustang's fortieth birthday, it is destined truly to be the current Mustang's last hurrah before the all-new 2005 model debuts. Like the very popular 2003 Mach 1 model shown here, this 2004 edition will have a 305-horsepower and the signature ram-air "shaker" hood scoop that's reminiscent of the original 1969 Mach 1. It will ride on seventeen-inch, five-spoke Heritage wheels with a galloping-pony logo inspired by the original Mach 1's wheel design. Two new colors, competition orange and screaming yellow, will be offered, and volume will be limited to fewer than 5000 copies. This is likely to be the most desirable of the three Mustang swan songs.

gryphonent Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 12:27 amI have Compost… does everything I need. As I'm using Pathfinder I already got the bin on my Desktop. Plus, the latest version of Compost comes with a new app called DeskTrash that puts a bin on the desktop too. So, to me it looks like this app is on the way out. Still, for $2.50 you get some nice design.
Mark S Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 2:01 amCool idea, but not quite what I expected. I thought that it would give the option to replace the Trash icon in the Dock. I guess for Mac OS Classic purists, this is a good app since you can let it appear on the desktop.
sYntiq Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 8:19 amIt is also a good App wth a 2 Screen Setup. so you can have a Bin on every Desktop.
Britonius Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 12:06 pmWhy don't they just combine the two applications into one and give you the option to use a desktop trash can or not and which one you want to use in addition to the features that compost has for managing multiple discs and free space.

EnlightenedOne Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 4:07 pmWhen I first looked at this I rolled my eyes & thought: What is this, a dress-up party for the Trash can? After dismissing it, I thought about it again later and realized that it might be useful in MY situation.
When it comes to DISTANCE, it's a long way to the corner of that dock when I have to D&D Finder refuse to that TINY little Trash can. This point alone made me wonder if Bin-it could help.
After hitting up versiontracker.com I stumbled over to the developer's site, http://mactrash.com, and read more about Bin-it and Compost (a related product). And I did find a good review on Compost at Macworld (4-mice/5):
http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macgems/2005/04/compost/Speaking as a designer, I found the layout of the Bin-it app Screenshots attractive:
http://mactrash.com/screenshots/My initial evaluation: I like it. It's easier to point, shoot & score with that BIGGER Trash bin and I like the feature set.
My only CON: *No* Undo command (Finder let's us put things back we accidentally trash) [ahem]
To the DEVELOPER
- I heard that you are phasing this product out – Is this true?
- How about giving us the options (ala enhancements) to pimp out our Bin-it Trash cans with colors (or graffiti) and to personalize bins with our own images. I'd love to put my not-so-fave politician's face on that can! ;) -
dantini Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 4:23 pmThis may be the only app in the world where saying "It looks like garbage" is NOT an insult… :D Cool-looking garbage…
RayCon Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 5:52 pmOkay, I purchased it (for 2-1/2 bucks, what the heck), but I already don't like it. There is no option/preference to avoid the emptying trash warning, so I'm stuck with an extra click/keystroke each time I use it. Should have tried it first.
IthacaLotus Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 9:56 pmThanks for the pointers EnlightenedOne.
I take Bin-it ONE step further by combining it with LiteSwitch X (A *better* Command-Tab for Mac OS X). Bin-it's icon shows up center screen whenever I Command-Tab. AND with LiteSwitch I can D&D (drag & drop) files onto its icons. Now THATS an EASY TO ACCESS Trash bin!

I ordered the gray version of this crib. It is very sturdy and seems to be very well constructed (had to put it together, but was very easy). The shipment was quick and cheap. The only bad thing was that the packaging was not very good- one of my side peaces got damaged but the replacement peace came fast. Overall, I can't wait to start using this product :)

Is it possible to put a bed skirt under the mattress given how high the initial mattress setting will be? How would you recommend accessorizing it so it's not just a plain crib with a crib sheet?Answers
To build a safe sleep environment, giggle recommends the following crib bedding "must haves":1. A firm, snug-fitting mattress, such as giggle's Better Basics Organic Cotton Crib Mattress (or, any of the crib mattresses in giggle's assortment -- they're all firm and snug-fitting!).
2. A waterproof mattress pad, like giggle's Better Basics Organic Cotton Crib Mattress Pad, for easy mess clean-up.
3. Fitted crib sheets, like giggle's Better Basics Fitted Crib Sheets, with a deep pocket and elastic surround to make sure sheets stay-put.
An optional addition to almost any crib (including Alex!) is a crib skirt, which can add a nice design touch to your crib!
giggle's Alex may be dressed with a crib skirt, which can be both practical and aesthetically appealing. The crib skirt is placed under the mattress, over a crib's mattress platform, and the skirting will "hide" both the mattress support and any visible hardware (or, anything you may be storing under the crib!), and create a lovely design.
As your child grows, and you lower the mattress support, the crib skirt will lower with the support, and you may choose to gather and "tuck" under the mattress any additional length that may be skimming the floor.
Can I get the dimensions of the crib and its slats, height, etc.?Answers
giggle's EXCLUSIVE Alex crib has the following dimensions:--The exterior dimension is 30.6'' L x 55.6'' W x 41.9'' H.
--Interior dimensions are standard, 28" W x 52" L.
--The slats are designed according to standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and are set no further than 2 3/8" apart.

I met Whit's boyfriend today.
I really have to say that I'm glad to be finally somewhat involved in his love life. Before, we didn't have that. I guess the fact that I'll be going away for college kind of resonates in our minds for our friendship. Or maybe the kid is growing up or something. Maybe I am.
He's going to be one of the first people I kidnap to spend a weekend with me in the dorms.

Justin Timberlake's tweet draws fans to defunct club
The singer tweeted on Wednesday: "Join me & Target tonight for just one song. Let's 'Take Back the Night.' First 150 get in. See you there!"
Fans jammed the street outside Maxwell's in Hoboken, and police used loudspeakers to control the crowd.
The Jersey Journal reports that Timberlake's wife, Jessica Biel, was spotted near his trailer.
The indie-rock club closed its doors after a 35-year run in July.

Okay. I have fallen in love with this sunflower, The seeds were given to me in their packet from a www.reneesgarden.com seed pack. It says that it is a pollenless Hybrid. Does this mean I cant save the seeds for next year. Please let me know if It will came true for me. I really enjoyed it this year. Brandy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Brandy, If you save seed for next year, they won't come true sine the variety is a hybrid. You may get some neat looking plants though. If you want exactly the same, you will need to buy new seed. Also, since the plants are pollenless, you will need to have a sunflower that produces pollen nearby so you will develop viable seed. Remy |

A question we discussed lately:
Question: If the Genestealer swarm targeted by the "Power
Field" Action card merges with another swarm, may the
Genestealers be slain by other special abilities such as from the
"Overwatch" Action card? May the Genestealers in the swarm
be slain with the special ability of the "Door" Terrain card
when travelling?
Answer: No. All Genestealers in this swarm cannot be slain (by
any card or ability) for the remained of the game round.

I have a ficus robusta rubber plant that is looking a bit sick. It came with three healthy branches and was fine for a couple of years. Then about 6 months ago one of the branches shed nearly all its leaves and appeared to die. I cut that off and the other branches seemed ok. Now the same is happening to another of them. The remaining branch is growing really well and producing new leaves rapidly. The other is drooping and not sprouting new leaves. The plant is in a huge pot and lives in the lounge, so should get enough sun. Does anyone have any suggestions for how i can save the drooping branch? It would break my heart to have to cut it off. Thanks for your help |
Follow-Up Postings:
My best guess, going only by the odds, is that it REALLY needs repotting - a full repot - not just potting up. Depending on your watering habits, it might be too wet, or might be so root congested it has dry spots in the roots, + all the other negatives associated with tight roots. A high level of soluble salts is also likely if you're not flushing the soil when you water. Hard to say, but it does sound like time for a makeover. ;o) Al |

The Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) aims to give patients with life threatening or seriously debilitating conditions access to medicines that do not yet have a marketing authorisation when there is a clear unmet medical need.
On 7 April 2014 the Early Access to Medicines Scheme was launched.
Under the scheme, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will provide a scientific opinion on the benefit/risk balance of the medicine, based on the data available at the time of the EAMS submission. The opinion lasts for a year and can be renewed.
MHRA has previously consulted on proposals for the scheme. Here is the government response to this consultation.
Government response to the Early Access to Medicines Scheme consultation - March 2014 (74Kb)
The scheme is voluntary and the opinion from MHRA does not replace the normal licensing procedures for medicines.
MHRA is responsible for the scientific aspects of the scheme and the scientific opinion will be provided after a two-step evaluation process:
- step I, the promising innovative medicine (PIM) designation
- step II, the early access to medicines scientific opinion.
Since launch the following PIMs have been issued
Month | Number of PIM designations issued |
September 2014 | 1 |
October 2014 | 1 |
January 2015 | 1 |
Step I - Promising innovative medicine (PIM) designation
The PIM designation will give an indication that a product may be eligible for the Early Access to Medicines Scheme (based on early clinical data). The PIM designation will be issued after an MHRA scientific meeting and could be given several years before the product is licensed.
Guidance on applying for a PIM designation is below:
Promising innovative medicine (PIM) designation guidance (191Kb)
To submit an application, please fill out the form below and send it to email@example.com
Promising innovative medicine designation (PIM) application (362Kb)
Step II - Early access to medicines scientific opinion
The scientific opinion will describe the benefits and risks of the medicine, based on the information submitted to MHRA by an applicant after sufficient data have been gathered from the patients who will benefit from the medicine. The opinion will support the prescriber and patient to make a decision on whether to use the medicine before its licence is approved.
If you want to apply for an EAMS scientific opinion from MHRA you must have a PIM designation and attend a pre-submission meeting with the MHRA.
Guidance on applying for a scientific opinion, including the pre-submission meeting is below:
Guidance for applicants for the Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) (182Kb)
Pre-submission meeting
The aim of the pre-submission meeting is to ensure that your product is suitable for an EAMS scientific opinion application and to discuss the format of the data you need to submit to support the opinion. There is no separate fee for the pre-submission meeting.
To apply for a pre-submission meeting please fill out the form below and send it to email@example.com
Request for pre-submission meeting for Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) scientific opinion
Apply for an EAMS scientific opinion
Please read the guidance for applicants on the scheme to get more information about the documents you need to submit.
You need to include the following documents, which are part of the EAMS dossier, with your EAMS application submission:
- completed EAMS application form (505Kb)
- cover letter including the proposed timetable submission slot and EAMS number
- summary of the pharmacovigilance system master file (PSMF)
- a risk management plan (RMP)
Please send your completed submission to email@example.com
Following a positive EAMS scientific opinion, MHRA will publish a Public Assessment Report (PAR) and the EAMS treatment protocol on the MHRA website. The PAR will include:
- how the product is used and how it works
- summary of the key clinical studies
- the risks and benefits of the product
- the reason for the positive EAMS scientific opinion
- any uncertainties
- information about ongoing clinical studies
- measures in place to monitor and manage risk.
Dates for submission
You need to make your EAMS scientific opinion submission by one of the dates set out below. The document below gives more information about submission dates:
Submission dates (60Kb)

29 September | 1 June |
27 October | 29 June |
1 December | 3 August |
31 August | |
28 September | |
26 October |
Periodic updates and renewals
Once you have received a positive EAMS scientific opinion you must provide MHRA with regular updates. The exact frequency of these updates will be agreed before the scientific opinion is issued but is likely to be every three months. Please use the template below to send periodic updates to MHRA.
The same template should also be used to renew your scientific opinion after a year. Completed forms should be sent to email@example.com

This essay compares and contrasts the "Classical" and "Human Relations" approaches to management. It focuses on how these approaches are similar and compatible and looks at their differences and incompatibilities. It then explores how systems theory and contingency theory can reconcile the incompatibilities between the approaches.
The essay is structured as follows. First, the essay shall explain the nature of the "Classical" and "Human Relations" approaches to management. Then, it will explore their similarities and dissimilarities. This section will be followed with an introduction to systems theory and contingency theory and how they can reconcile the dissimilarities and incompatibilities between the approaches. The essay shall finish with some concluding remarks.
Management emerged as a field of study over 100 years ago (Holt, 1999, p.137). The 'Classical' management functions appeared at the turn of the century (Carroll and Gillan,1984). The 'Human Relations' viewpoint came about in the 1920's and 30's (Holt, 1999, p.137).
Classical Management
Classical management is a result of the early attempts to formalize principles for a growing number of professional managers (Jeliniek, 2005). Henri Fayol (1841 – 1925) and Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856 – 1915) are seen as two of the forefathers of classical management (Parker and Ritson, 2005; Parker and Lewis, 1995). Classical management is comprised of three directions to management: scientific, administrative and bureaucratic (Bartol et al, 2006). •Scientific management is the focus on the scientific study of work methods to improve worker efficiency. Taylor is viewed as one of the chief contributors to the scientific branch of classical management (Bartol et al, 2006). The scientific management school of thought reflected an engineer's ideology of work (Parker and Lewis, 1995). Taylor, while working as chief engineer for Midvale Steel,...

But that tells only part of the story. The host University of the Cumberlands team and Lindsey-Wilson College are tied for third at 294, and then you have Milligan College and SCAD-Atlanta in striking distance at 298.
The Flames had a golden opportunity to take command of the tourney after Matt Emery and Hunter Vest posted 1-under rounds of 71 and Tyler Smith tallied an even-par 72 on the Crooked Creek layout. However, finding the fourth score to count was troubling for coach John Maupin. Veteran JB Eksteen came in at 79 and newcomer Florian Loutre ballooned to an 86.
Another newcomer, Taylor Davis, drew some attention when he carded a par 72 score. Davis and Peyton Sliger were playing as extras and their scores did not count in the team totals.
Alastair Tidcombs of the Cumberlands fired a 2-under 70 to take first-day individual honors in the field of 82 golfers. Emery and Vest are tied for second and Smith is tied for seventh.
The Lee women's golf team opened the 2012 fall play by firing a 313 total in the Invitational. The Lady Patriots (303) are the tournament leaders, holding a 10-stroke advantage over the Lady Flames.
Coach John Maupin's team has a 17-stroke advantage over third place Lindsey Wilson (Ky.). Milligan College is fourth (349) and Union College (350) rounds out the top five in the eight-team field.
In Thursday's individual play, Cumberlands Liz Stephens blistered the par 73, 6008-yards Crooked Creeks course with a 4-under 69. Lee's Courtney Shelton posted a 1-over 74 and holds down second place in the field of 46 players. Sloane Skinner (77) is tied for fifth place. Madison Alexander (80) is deadlocked for ninth and Chelsa Rakestraw (82) is tied for 12th, rounding out the four Lee players scores that counted during Thursday's action. Newcomer Bernadette Little totaled an 83, good enough for a tie for 14th.
The final 18 holes are slated to get underway this morning.

In exactly three weeks, teams will finally have the ability to negotiate with and sign free agents — a process that should occupy their and our attention for the rest of the month of March.
In April, final tweaks are made as teams prepare for the draft, which this year takes place six weeks after the free-agent market opens. In years past, those two events have taken place as many as seven or eight weeks apart, but the the gap is quite irrelevant.
The key, however, might be to reverse that gap entirely.
In a column posted yesterday on his website, former NFL general manager Ted Sundquist suggests that the NFL has it backwards. He argues that building a team is supposed to be based on the draft first and free agency next, which is a commonly-held philosophy in this and many other leagues. And that being the case, he can't understand why the draft wouldn't take place first.
A natural sense of urgency and pressure from fans and media means front offices are liable to overcommit during the free agency period, simply because it begins first.
"With the draft moved ahead of free agency," writes Sundquist, "clubs would be afforded the opportunity to build through youthful potential before spending money on past production."
"Nothing would please a GM more than to unexpectedly see a dominant rush end fall to his pick, versus getting locked in a bidding war to lure a veteran free agent in at inflated numbers. Such a scenario allows for more judicious decision making on the part of GMs and coaches. Free agency would be the closing pieces to the tinkering of a roster, rather than the foundation of a quick-fix rebuilding effort."
So, why is the offseason schedule shaped in such a manner?
The NFLPA wants it this way. They want the money spent upfront first. They want their membership to reap the rewards of "time in service" through profitable NFL free agent contracts.
As a result the pressure remains on the clubs; wait until the NFL draft and you're CHEAP, load up on NFL free agents and you're STUPID.
Last year, because of the lockout, things were different. For the first time in NFL history, the draft took place before free agency. It's apparent that the late start to free agency might have inhibited certain teams (see: Eagles, Philadelphia), but under regular circumstances free agency wouldn't have to wait until late July to get started.
Under regular circumstances, the draft could be held in April (it would be almost impossible to move the draft up) and free agency could take place in May. That would give teams even more time to prepare for the latter process and would only delay a veteran player's window to train with his new team by six or eight weeks.
When you consider that offseason activities have already been curtailed as part of the new collective bargaining agreement, that's hardly a factoring drawback.
In fact, I can't think of any significant drawbacks at all.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Clyde, a Chandler Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Chandler, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Chandler.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandler already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandler breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandler paves the way for another one to be saved.

Called The Long Beach Sun Protection Project, the effort is supported by a $230,000 grant awarded to the hospitals by the UniHealth Foundation. The main objective of the project is to promote sun protection for the 465,000 residents of Long Beach, particularly the city's nearly 100,000 children. The project, which runs through September, represents a collaborative effort of the city's major health providers and educational institutions, including Community Hospital of Long Beach, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals in Bellflower and the South Bay, Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Miller Children's Hospital, St. Mary Medical Center, Long Beach Unified School District, and University College and Extension Services at CSULB . This project is designed to educate the greater Long Beach community about the risks associated with sun exposure and raise awareness of skin cancer prevention, detection and treatment, with a focus on children and teens, said project director Connie Evashwick, a professor in the Health Care Administration Program at CSULB. The program will include a citywide social marketing campaign with instructional and educational materials available for distribution to the general public, said Evashwick. In addition a Web site will be developed for the public to access informational resources about sun exposure and skin cancer. Among the project's other goals are educating health care providers, developing protocols and conducting skin cancer screenings, educating school teachers and other health educators about sun protection, making curricula and materials available for teachers to use with students, instructing children and parents about the need and means of sun protection, creating and developing a comprehensive citywide Web site on sun protection, creating a social marketing campaign to reach throughout the city, and evaluating all aspects of the project to refine future sun protection activities efforts . Skin cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers, yet, even in a city with sophisticated health and education systems, little is being done to address this problem, said Evashwick. This project is expected to serve as a model to be replicated in other communities, and thus it will have impact far beyond the city of Long Beach. For additional information, contact Evashwick by email at email@example.com or by phone at 562/985-5881. |

Just before Christmas, a CNN poll asked Americans whether they favored or opposed the health-reform bills moving through Congress. Forty-two percent favored them, 56 percent were opposed. This and other polls released last fall also suggested that most Americans lacked a basic understanding of the changes being proposed. Arguably, the two are connected. How many people were opposed to the legislation because they either didn't understand or misunderstood it? A clerk at a store in West Virginia told the Charleston Gazette that she tried hard to follow the twists and turns of health reform. "I know it affects me," she said, "but I can't find out what it's going to be." A friend of mine admitted that she had stopped trying to figure it out. A small business owner in Manhattan concluded: "The press has done a horrible job of translation."
Press coverage of the effort to reform health care has been largely incoherent to the man on the street. The three hundred or so posts I have written about health-care reform for CJR.org over the past two years tell the story of media coverage that failed to illuminate the crucial issues, quoted special interest groups and politicians without giving consumers enough information to judge if their claims were fact or fiction, did not dig deeply into the pros and cons of the proposals, and gave tons of ink and air time to the same handful of sources.
By now it's a familiar critique—the press did not connect the dots, there were too many he said-she said stories, not enough analysis, and so on. And yet, after a decade in which the inadequacies of traditional press strategies—objectivity, top-down coverage, the primacy of the "scoop," etc.—became ever more apparent to those of us who care about these things, those very strategies failed the country again on a story of monumental importance to every citizen.
Traditional journalism as practiced by the nation's major news outlets, even as it has been recreated on the Web, is just not good enough for a story as big and complex as health care. Such stories demand a new paradigm, and while I don't pretend to know exactly what that paradigm is or how we get there, the ways the press failed on the health-reform story provide some clues.
Traditional journalism relies on official sources to tell the story, and on health care those sources framed the narratives they wanted the public to hear. The "stars are aligned" refrain, heard from advocacy groups like Families USA and others, conveyed the idea that the chief stakeholders all supported reform. But what those stakeholders supported was "reform" that for the most part let them continue with business as usual. From the Democrats came the narrative of "affordable, quality health care"—empty, focus-group tested words that misled millions of Americans into thinking reform would bring health insurance to everyone and health care that was both cheaper and better. From Republicans we got the predictable fear-mongering about "government-run health care," but few alternate solutions. The president himself gave us the "you can keep what you've got" assurance that left many people wondering, "If that's the case, why should I care?"
Playing follow-the-newsmaker leads to he said-she said reporting, which does audiences a particular disservice on stories about contentious, difficult issues like health care—the truth is complicated and requires more explication than clashing quotes can deliver.
In mid-January, for instance, USA Today botched a piece about whether the House and Senate bills would really cut costs and generate enough savings to cover subsidies for the uninsured. The story began with a conservative economist questioning whether the projected long-term savings were realistic. Then came a quote from the director of Families USA who assured us that the projected savings were "more than realistic." There was a paragraph explaining that the Senate bill calls for $438 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid over a decade and that almost half of those cuts would come from trimming Medicare payments to doctors and hospitals. Next the paper noted that a Department of Health and Human Services report said some of the proposed cuts "may be unrealistic" and could actually reduce access to care. That was followed by a fellow from the Urban Institute who suggested it would be "very hard" politically to get the cuts through. Then came a comment from a fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, who said that in the past Congress had in fact adopted cuts to Medicare and that those cuts were "part and parcel of most major deficit reduction efforts in recent years."

QuickBooks Available Inventory
If you use the Inventory feature of QuickBooks you understand the concept of quantity on hand – a measure of the quantity of any inventory part or inventory assembly item that you have at any given time. QuickBooks also has another measure of quantity that many people don't understand – available quantity. Let's dig in to this feature to see how it works.
Quantity on hand is the quantity of a particular item you have in your possession at a given point of time. If you receive an item, this goes up. If you sell an item or use that item in an assembly build, it goes down. You can adjust it with the Adjust Quantity/Value On Hand function. Keep in mind that this value is "date sensitive" – any time you see a report or transaction that involves a date then the quantity on hand shown is the value calculated as of that date.
If you are selling inventory parts (or assemblies) this value can be misleading. It doesn't take into account other "promises" or allocations that you have made for this item. You may, for example, have a sales order that is promising a quantity of this item to a customer, or a pending build assembly transaction that should consume the item. So if I'm talking to a customer and entering an invoice or sales order it is easy for me to overcommit, to sell items that I don't really have available because of other commitments that I've made. That is a problem.
Higher level accounting/inventory systems often have a concept of "available to promise" – a quantity that represents not only the quantity you have on hand but also involves allocations (promises) made to sales orders in progress or future builds of assemblies, as well as incoming purchase orders. This is a very useful tool.
In QuickBooks we have an optional feature that is called the quantity available, which is similar to the "available to promise" concept.
QuickBooks Preferences
There are several Items & Inventory preferences that affect how this works.
To enable this feature you should check the two boxes under "When calculating Quantity Available…".
The next choice is optional. If you check the "Warn if not enough inventory to sell" box then any time that you enter a quantity in a sales transaction for an amount that exceeds the chosen value, you will get a popup warning. I generally recommend having the box checked, because you don't really want to be selling things that you don't have (and having "negative inventory" is generally a very bad thing to do in QuickBooks). If you check this box then you have an additional option over which value to work with. I recommend selecting "Quantity Available" in most cases.
Note that this feature has no effect on inventory valuation or your financial statements. All this is doing is adding warnings in the sales transactions and providing you with additional information in some windows and reports. You can easily turn this on or off as you wish with no bad side effects.
Current Availability Window
When this feature is enabled QuickBooks will provide you with a window that lets you see details about the available quantity. This can be reached from several locations:
- In the item list, select the item, then either click the Activities button at the bottom of the list or right click on the item to get a menu, and select Current Availability.
- In a purchase order, invoice, sales order, sales receipt or estimate, select an item for the order. If the item is an inventory part or inventory assembly then you will see a small graph symbol in the quantity column. Clicking on this will open the window.
The Current Availability window shows you a summary of the information about this item and the status of the quantity that is available. The item that is shown here is an inventory part that has been used in sales orders and purchase orders, as well as being a component in an inventory assembly.
As you can see, we have 8 of this item "on hand", but 12 of them are allocated to other transactions that are in process. A net "quantity available" of –4 says that you shouldn't be telling your customer that you can sell them the item, even though there may be 8 on hand. Or at least you should be saying that delivery might be delayed.
However, you can also see that there are 6 of these coming in on purchase orders. Maybe we CAN promise the product to the customer? If you click the Show Details button at the bottom of the screen and select purchase orders from the dropdown list, you can see a list of the open purchase orders for this item.
This shows you when the items will be received, which gives you some idea of when you might be able to fulfill the order. You can double click on the individual orders in this list to look at the purchase order details.
Quantity Available in Reports
One of my favorite inventory management reports in QuickBooks is the Inventory Stock Status by Item report. If you enable the available inventory feature there are three columns added to the report; "On Sales Order", "For Assemblies" and "Available".
Let's look at the "Lens" item that we investigated earlier. You see that there are 8 "on hand". There are 10 "on sales order", which represents the quantity of this item that you've already promised to someone on open sales orders. There are two of this item promised (allocated) to pending builds of an inventory assembly item that uses this item as shown in the "for assemblies" column. That works out to be an "available" amount of –4. The total quantity on purchase orders is shown in the "on PO" column along with the "next delivery" date (based on the expected due date of the purchase order).
A word of caution, however. Keep in mind that most reports in QuickBooks have a date range associated with them. Most information windows or lists do not have a date associated. If I open the inventory stock status by item report it usually defaults to the current date, and in this case you'll notice that the report differs from what I see in the current availability window (which was set to "all" dates).
Several of my sales orders are dated in the future, and so they aren't counted in the on sales order value in this particular report. This report implies that I actually have 5 available that I can promise to someone, along with 6 more coming on a PO. That is misleading! If you date sales orders in the future (such as for orders that you want to hold off until next week), you have to watch the date selection in this report.
A Useful Feature
This is not fool-proof. Date errors can create problems, as I've shown. QuickBooks is not doing any "time phasing", so you can't easily tell how far in the future these demands are (sales orders and pending builds), and you have limited visibility on the supply dates (purchase orders). Incoming items on a P.O. may already be committed to another project or customer. You also have to remember that this feature does not stop you from selling something you don't have, you can still sell the items in spite of the warnings.
Even with all of that, I find that the quantity available feature is very useful, and I always recommend that this be enabled as shown here. This feature helps you avoid running your quantity on hand to a negative value, which is very important in QuickBooks as negative inventory can have bad effects on your COGS calculations and your financial reports. It gives you tools that help you be more accurate in providing sales delivery promises to your customers, so that you don't make commitments to shipments that you cannot fulfil.

The Sales Order Fulfillment Worksheet is another tool that has great potential, but is lacking in features. I wish this report had more options/features, and the ability to export to excel in Summary, and detail.
The SO Fulfillment Worksheet is also useless for Advanced Inventory users with Site locations because there are no Site Options.
Agreed. This is a big issue and upon realizing it immediately got a refund because it effectively makes advanced inventory useless to us. We got advanced inventory to keep track of inventory in multiple sites, but it doesn't do this very well for two main reasons:
a) as you mentioned, the SO worksheet is effectively useless with multiple sites because it pulls the on hand qty from a global level.
b) when creating an invoice from a sales order, it again shows you only the global on hand qty, not the qty on hand for that particular site.Another issue with available inventory in QB:
* You enter ITEM A on 2 separate line items for 500 units each
* Meanwhile, you have only 600 units globally
* It will allow you to invoice for 1000 units total despite only having 600 units
Thanks for the heads up Charlie.
We are discussing handling inventory right now in our development work, connecting ACT! (CRM) and QuickBooks. The problem of course is, if the front office sales people are taking orders without access to inventory information, no matter how smart QB is, the problem isn't being addressed. It needs to be addressed at source i.e. those taking the orders. In fact, for some types of business, awareness of inventory needs to be occurring at the quoting stage, i.e. even before the customer commits with a sales order. Larger accounting products and ERP solutions offer that but smaller business, such as those running QB don't have that luxury (or expense).
For our development work we are looking to expose live inventory data direct from QB actually in the CRM module live at time of quoting, to give that early warning to sales staff. -
Charlie – great article – as usual. I know I've gotten comments from clients re: parts used in an assembly. Let's say you sell Part A but Part A is also used in Assembly B. The customer places an order for Assembly B. The available quantity for Part A doesn't take into account that Part A is going to be needed for that order. Do you suggest that folks do Pending Builds as soon as they get a sales order for an assembly? The advantage would be that the Quantity Available would be correct – but it seems like a lot of work. What do you think are best practices?
Ah, but it does. Once you place a Sales Order for Assembly B which includes 10 of Part A, the Stock Status by Item report line for Part A will show an increase of 10 in the For Assemblies column, and a decrease of 10 in the amount Available column. The Stock Status by Item [using all dates] is the one to go to for most inventory questions.
I think the decepitive report is the Inventory Item Quick Report – it does NOT take into account items that are reserved For Assembly!
The fact that QuickBooks allows actual quantity on hand to go negative is the ultimate deal breaker. Negative quantity on hand? Really?
Sounds like a divide by zero: illegal operation.
Wow, thank you so much. I was running the report wrongly – i was just running it for the Unit Assembly instead of the components and that was why it was not showing on the 'For Assemblies' column.
Thank you for everything.
Hello Charlie,
Please advise with this problem. If you ever come across it before.
Can someone tell me, in running a report, Inventory Stock Status by Site, selecting All Sites, there is a site called 'No Site' and it shows quantities 'On Sale Order' but when I double click on it and try to open it, there is no open sale order that is not assigned a site. What is 'No Site' stands for and how can I update the quantities in that site to show zero?
Hi Charlie,
Good day!
The transaction for received item we can found it in vendor center as addition to inventory and for selling we use create invoice which is a deduction to inventory report how about for the transfer of item or any adjustment for the item made due to damage or some any cases. Please let me know what is the proper quickbooks version should i needed for the inventory that can i properly recorded for the incoming and outgoing of items.
Thank you very much.
Hi Charlie,
We deal with a lot of pending builds.. is there a report I can run that will tell me which pending builds are OK to remove from pending after inventory is received? Pending build repts. just show which builds are pending and I have to go into them all to see if it can be removed from pending, which is time consuming.
also, If I invoice customers for items needed (having them pre-pay specific items) putting that item into a negative, receive payment from customer, create and send the purchase order to vendor, then I have to double receive that item to show accurate QOH. Is there a better way? Will my process create "pending builds" for assemblies I have already fulfilled?
Thank you
I have an item that is part of multiple assemblies. When I look at the item's "Current Availability" window I show a quantity on hand of zero, a quantity of zero on sales order's. but I do show a quantity of 5 on quantity reserved for assemblies.When I look at the details tab I show no sales orders using the item and also do not show any pending builds using the item. I have an open purchase order for 75.
My question is: What is creating the quantity of 5 "Quantity reserved for assemblies"? I cannot find any pending builds using this item and I cannot understand where the quantity of 5 is being generated from!
Hello Charlie,
We mostly manufacture on a Make by order basis.. make the product specific to the Sales order. Therefore we have a lot of open sale orders in our system. The problem we are having with QB's is organizing all the orders to get a quick glance on a day to day basic for when the orders will be filled based on items coming in from vendors, production scheduling for orders that are ready to fulfill, orders that can partially be filled, and orders that have issues and need attention before fulfilling.
Currently we export all open sales orders to excel, and manually enter in items that are pending assemblies, date those items are expected from vendors, when we expect to fulfill (production schedule), and other important information re: all open Sales orders. This excel spreadsheet gives everyone in the company an update on all order status. However, it is a very time consuming process and at any given time the status could change for a number of reasons but until the spread sheet is updated; only purchasing and/or production will know..
Is there a good Sales Order Management add-on software to QB's to help streamline and compile all the data regarding our open sales orders so that all departments are able to know the status in live time?
We currently use CCRQ for builds and that has been beneficial…
Dear Charles,
Thank you for your article. I was re-reading it to refresh my understanding of QB Inventory and try to answer a puzzling problem I encountered in QB 2012;
Q; It appears to me the "Inventory Stock Status Item report" IS date (time) sensitive to future dated invoices and that the "Physical Inventory Worksheet" (for the same item) IS NOT date (time) sensitive to future dated invoices?; I am I correct?,…and if so why is this? I expected they would show the same figire for the item on the same date. I ask because was taking a end of month physical count on 4/30 and have one invoice future dated to 5/1 because a customer needs it to pay me quicker; I assumed (incorretly) that both reports would show the SAME On-Hand quantity as of 4/30, but they are different by the item qty of the item on the 5/1 invoice. Is this proper, or a limitation of the basic QB inventory system? Thanks in advance for your thougths on the matter.
Jim B. -
Hi Charlie
I've posted to you before, and I hope you can help me again..
Most times, QB is great, but we do have problems (mostly in our understanding of the program, I will admit).
In our company, we receive orders from customers and they are entered as Sales Orders right away… but we are yet to create the Build Assemblies that will fulfill the Sales Order.
From what I've read above, it seems we either need to first create Estimates or, in 'Items & Inventory'->'Company Preferences', we need to un-check the deduction of 'Quantity on Sales Orders'…
Am I on the right track? what would be the best way forward?
Thank you for your time
Regarding identifying stock quantities at different locations–I have solved this problem by creating an item, for instance, "Rice, 16 oz." and then creating sub-items for each location with a letter of the alphabet representing the location–"Rice, 16 oz. A," Rice 16 oz. B," etc. I have created and memorized stock status reports for each location (time consuming the first time, then easy to maintain) so that I can reconcile the stock to each location. I can see the activity in each warehouse and the total for the item, all in one place. Training for employees entering sales orders was quite easy. This would work better for some types of situations than others. It works well for us.
We are having issues with inventory such as the quantity on hand changes. For example, a physical inventory is taken monthly. The inventory is adjusted to reflected the counted balance. The balances are verified in QuickBooks, and the inventory valuation summary report is run. We have noticed changes to some balances a month or so after the balances were adjusted. For example, the July physical inventory was taken. Adjustments were made, all negative inventory was corrected. Upon review in September, negative balances and other changes occurred to the July valuation. Negative balances re-occurred. What can cause this issue? We perform build assemblies. If a build assembly was created in July, and was deleted in September, could that affect the July balance? Do pending builds affect your on hand balance? If pending building are deleted, could that cause your on hand balance to change?
Thank you
hi , im new to quickbook, the company im working with has many point of sales , when they give points of sales inventory they record it as sales order , when a point of sale sell an item , the company record an invoice to point sale
so now they asked me to give them inventory for each pt of sale.it is like i want to check for all pt of sales the sales orders and deduct what is invoiced to make the inventory
is there any easiest solution ? coz it will take toooooo much time to do this

Lewis-Clark Valley
465 river miles inland and at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers lies Lewiston, Idaho and Clarkston, Washington, named to honor the encampment of Lewis & Clark's Corp of Discovery during their journey to the Pacific Ocean.
Today, Lewiston and Clarkston are known as the gateway to Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. Many don't know that the Snake River created Hells Canyon, North America's deepest gorge. You can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the canyon on one of the region's regular boat tours, experience the thrill of whitewater rafting or jet boating, or view the myriad of wildlife, geological and historical sites along the canyon walls and shores of this national destination.
Both residents and visitors enjoy the amenities of this regional commercial center for north central Idaho, eastern Oregon and southeast Washington. Although the Snake River divides the two states, bridges over the Snake and Clearwater Rivers allow easy access to both communities, which offer their own state-of-the-art healthcare facilities, public school districts, hotel/convention facilities, industrial sites, shopping districts and full public services. Additionally, there is one state college and one community college locally, and two universities within a 45-minute drive.
Known as the "Banana Belt of the Pacific Northwest," the mild weather in the Valley offers extensive year-round outdoor activities such as golf, fishing, strolling the miles of riverfront levee pathways, beaches, RV and waterfront parks, and the ongoing planned community events.
