I do think you're going to be disappointed in the inventory control and especially in the job management. QB is an accounting software more than anything else. So if you're looking for something like:
Receive Order -> Take Payment -> Order Parts -> Send Proofs -> Get Proof Approval -> Production -> Package -> Ship
You're not going to get it.
It sounds like you really are looking for something like
http://www.shopvox.com/. I was researching this last month so I looked at a few options. The thing I didn't like about ShopVox was the user fee. If you have 4 different departments, you need a minimum of 4 accounts. That adds $40-80 a month which I thought was expensive.
Through spreadsheets and "Fill in Order Forms" I send as quotes then print out when approved... Pretty backward I know... But that's all I've been allowed to use for years.
Everything be hand except for the limited and I mean limited financial software to enter inventory counts and purchases...
