It's great to hear that you're proactively seeking ways to enhance the flow of data and processes between your U.S. satellite office and your German headquarters, @vogelkel. I understand how managing financial tasks across two systems can become a challenge, especially when you need consolidated reports or want to streamline invoicing.
QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and SAP operate independently, and while integration is possible, it typically depends on third-party tools or services that act as a bridge between the two systems. Since SAP is an ERP system, you may want to start by contacting their support team to see if they offer connectors and guidance for integrating with QuickBooks.
On another note, the American version of QBDT is specifically designed to meet the accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements for local businesses. It includes features, forms, and workflows tailored for sales tax calculations and reporting standards based on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). With this, differences in tax handling and accounting standards are carefully taken into consideration.
To get started, you can download the QBDT user guide to explore ways to streamline reporting and invoicing functions between QBDT and SAP: Get started with QuickBooks.
