There have been a few questions lately concerning items in the QuickBooks financial program after linking to QuickBooks Point of Sale. Hopefully this will clear that up. By the way, the information in the chart below is taken directly from the QuickBooks Point of Sale help files. Simply search on Financial Exchange in the program help and you will find a wealth of topics and information available.
Once QuickBooks Point of Sale is linked to your QuickBooks financial program AND inventory (items) are transfered to POS from financial, QuickBooks Point of Sale takes over ALL inventory functions with the exception of actually paying your vendors for those items. Ordering, receiving, sales and quantity adjustments are all done from within the POS program and not in the financial program. POS will take the items in your financial program and mark them as Inactive and set the quantity level to 0. People that are used to seeing their inventory levels in the financial program sometimes have a problem with that. It involves a change and they now have to look in the Point of Sale program for those quantities.
Here is what data is transfered and in which direction.
