I need help on entering Commodity Codes in desktop QB POS. When I ship international, I am having to manually enter the commodity code for each item I am shipping. Is there a way to have each item I sell already have a commodity code assigned so when I go into shipping manager it automatically pulls the code across for each item in that order? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the info but I am not sure this is what I need. You sent instructions for Quickbooks not desktop Quickbooks POS. I read through what you sent and it appears to be for Quickbooks.
