do assemblies from a mobile computer

We have a mobile scanner to pick and pack orders, but we also got it to do assemblies from. We would need to import them into quickbooks. Was told we can do that now being told we can't. This has been a nightmare program to work with from the start. Is there a 3rd party app or something to make this work. It was a big part of using Quickbooks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do assemblies from a mobile computer

Hello, @angel511. Thanks for reaching out about your experience with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). I can see that you’re navigating some hurdles with your mobile scanner and assembly imports. We strive to make our tools as user-friendly and effective as possible, and your feedback is an essential part of this process.

 

I encourage you to share your thoughts and suggestions by sending feedback. Your insights can help us understand the unique challenges that users like you face, and they can shape future enhancements to our offerings. Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Help option.
  2. Select the Send Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion.
  3. Enter your feedback suggestion.
  4. Click the Send Feedback button.

 

In the meantime, I suggest manually adding your assemblies in QBDT. For detailed guidance, visit this article: Combine your inventory items to build finished goods (assemblies).

 

Alternatively, you can explore third-party applications that integrate with QBDT in our app store. Our website features a variety of options that may cater to your specific needs, such as inventory management systems and import tools.

 

Additionally, here are some articles that can help you manage your inventory more effectively:

 

 

Your success is important to me, Angel. If you have any questions or need help exploring these options, I'm just a comment away. Take care.

then use TP Importer to proceed. It's $199 one time license and you can get $100 cashback to purchase via a partner.

All we are looking for is to do our assemblies from the mobile computer we have a TC26. Will this program work with that?

You need to prepare your data manually from TC26 and use the importer tool to proceed. If you have more budget ($1695 per mobile device, perpetual license), you may consider using a 3rd party inventory management app to integrate with Zebra devise using Datawedge Profile.
