Buy nowI have a non-profit client that is supported by a foundation at a different location. Both use QB Desktop. The foundation handles the money, so my client conducts their operations then sends Purchase Orders to the Foundation, who cut the checks to pay the vendors. The POs are sent as scans, and the foundation rekeys all the information. Unsurprisingly, a lot of errors happen.
Is there a way the client can export the POs in a file the foundation can import into their version of QBD, thus eliminating the time and errors caused by them rekeying the information?
You can ask the NGO to use the exporter tool ($299) and the foundation use the importer tool ($199). Each party needs to purchase a one time license tool and they can get $100 cashback each for purchasing the license through a partner.

The option to directly export Purchase Orders to another QuickBooks company file isn't available. However, we can manually export them as an Excel file and then convert the data into an. IIF file. To proceed, we can download and install the IIF importer kit and use it as a reference guide for creating and working with .IIF import files.
