QuickBooks Desktop Mobile app

Welcome to the Community, @TracyC2.

 

There's no need to convert to QuickBooks Online (QBO) to use the Warehouse Manager feature. All you need to do is to install QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) mobile app on a supported mobile barcode scanner or an android device. Them, pair it with your QBDT company file.

 

Once connected, you may now use the scanner, by setting up warehouse users (pickers). You may refer to the article you've shared above for the detailed steps on how to go about it. 

 

For tips and other resources, I recommend visiting our website for future reference: Self-help articles.

I can clear things out for you about the QuickBooks Desktop mobile app, TracyC2.

 

The QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) software itself can't be installed on the phone due to its system requirements needed to run the program.

 

The Warehouse Manager is another app of QBDT to help manage your inventories.

 

If there are other features that you want for the Warehouse Manage app, you can send a request. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to Help.
  2. Select Send Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion.
  3. Fill in the form, then click Send Feedback.

 

If you're having issues with the app, please browse this link for solutions: Troubleshoot QuickBooks Desktop mobile app.

 

Stay in touch with me if there are other things you need in QuickBooks. I'll be right here to help you.

Thanks for the reply!  I have been seeing so much conflicting information that is why I called Intuit and they told me numerous times that QuickBooks Desktop was not available via mobile phone.  This is going to be a large $ investment to change from Apple phones to Android so just want to be 100% certain that they will work with QuickBooks Desktop.

Hi there, @Cooper1948.

 

I'll lay down some information about the purpose of the QuickBooks Desktop Mobile app.

 

QuickBooks Desktop Mobile app is used to scan or upload receipts and bills and attach transactions to documents with seamless integration in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

With that, the bank deposit feature is unavailable in this application. 

 

Moreover, you need to install or download QuickBooks directly to your computer to process deposits.

 

Alternatively, I'm adding this article if your having an issue in QuickBooks Desktop Mobile App: Troubleshoot QuickBooks Desktop mobile app.

Can I send out invoices via this app?

Thanks for joining the thread, Andyk71258.

 

The mobile app for QuickBooks Desktop doesn't currently allow you to send invoices or transactions. However, you can automate entries using the app. Here are the things you can do with the app:

 

  • Scan receipts to automatically create expense entries.
  • Upload bills to automate bill entries.
  • Attach documents to your transactions.
  • Increase your productivity by using warehouse and inventory management to streamline the pick-and-pack cycle, which lowers paperwork and data entry errors.
  • Control inventory stock & product details by updating packing information.
  • Integrate 2D barcode scanning on select Bluetooth barcode scanners.

 

Consider sending invoices directly through the installed QuickBooks Desktop software if you need to send them. Here's how:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Locate the invoice you want to send.
  3. Select the email icon.
  4. Edit the subject field and the email body if necessary.
  5. Once ready, hit Send.

 

I've also included this article if you want to send invoices so your customer can pay them via ACH bank transfer or credit card for future use: Send online invoices in QuickBooks Desktop.
