QB Point of Sale Discontinuing

Congratulations on making your first post here, @galvfloor.

Thank you for using QuickBooks as your reporting tool. I'd be glad to share the process of recording sales transactions and pulling up a report for commissions.

Yes, Intuit will no longer support QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale software. The discontinuation includes the security patch updates and Payments and Connected Services. Visit this page for the product update: Discontinuation of QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale FAQs.

In QuickBooks Desktop, we can create a sales order that you can convert to an invoice and then receive its payment to close the transaction. Not to worry, I'll share their differences to track items and sales seamlessly.

Create a sales order for a vendor to confirm if they can provide the goods or services requested. Once the buyer receives them, use an invoice to request payment. We'll link the earnings to these transactions. 

For the complete process, check out these articles:

A Sales by Rep report is available for many companies to pay commissions to sales representatives. There are two, the Summary and the Detail. It helps trace the profitability of a discounted item. See this guide for more tips on personalizing them: Customize customer, job, and sales reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

There are various third-party applications that you can integrate with us. To explore and know which one best suits your needs, go to this link: https://desktop.apps.com/home. 

Leave a reply below if you have other concerns about creating transactions and generating reports in QBO. I'm just a post away to help. Have a great day ahead.

Consider having a sales commission app to integrate with QB Desktop. Each rep gets an online dashboard with goals and payouts. You can create complex incentive plans, run one-shot calculations across all reps and eliminate commission spreadsheets. It also ASC 606 accounting compliance. The subscription fee start at $30/user/month.

Thank you so much. I will look into this.

I am going to check this out and see if it works for me.
