Join nowNew to QBPOS. Just imported items from QB desktop pro, and now all inventory quantities are zeroed in the desktop version. It appears the two applications want QBPOS to be the system of record for inventory. If that is the case, it would seem that I should do all my PO creation and receiving in QBPOS.
I am confused about how to create bills from vendors for items received in POS.. I do not see an option for creating a bill from a vendor in POS. Is there a data exchange that I need to manually perform to advise QB desktop pro that items have been received in QBPOS so I can then create the vendor bill in QB desktop pro?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @wellroom,
Thanks for reaching out. Welcome to Point of Sale. I hope it ends up working well for you. I have some resources that I believe will help you. Here are some steps for how to receive items in Point of Sale. This includes creating a purchase order and receiving against a PO (which, in point of sale terms, would be basically be the bill). Also, I am including a link for how to do the financial exchange with QuickBooks Desktop. This article is helpful because, if you scroll down the article, it will give you a list of what activities are done between QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Point of Sale:
Here are the steps covering receiving items in Point of Sale, Creating a purchase order, etc.:

Hope this helps!
Thanks very much for your reply. Something that highlights my concern: I have a PO I created in desktop that is not available when I try to receive the product in POS. Perhaps I did not connect the two systems properly?
Is the proper way to manage information between the two like this:
create items in POS
create vendors in POS
create POs in POS
receive against POs in POS.
How are these different transactions reflected in desktop so that inventory, payables, and financials are updated?
thanks!

Hi again, @wellroom,
Without seeing your POS and Desktop it's hard to say it was set up/connected properly. My best recommendation, at this point, would be to reach out to the support team through that linked I provided. They will be able to walk through everything with you and ensure it's all set up properly.
Thanks,
Lucas
When you set up POS with QBFinancial, POS will immediately take all items in QBF and make them inactive. All inventory activities will be done through POS. That was a shock to me when we first set up POS.
When you receive items in POS, you'll need to sync with QBF to get anything you did in POS to be recorded in QBF. SIDENOTE: In fact, if you make a mistake in an RV (which is written in stone once you hit "Save," there's no chance to undo,) but, if you reverse the RV before you sync, it's easier to fix later with "Reverse RV" as you haven't created a transaction (an Item Receipt) in QBF yet.
So after receiving items in POS and syncing, QBF has item receipts. When you look at your home screen, there is an icon for "Enter Bills Against Inventory." That will let you choose a vendor. You HAVE to click on the line item you want to work with and then HAVE to hit OK. (no double clicking to advance.) That then creates and opens the bill made from the item receipt.
There is a report of all item receipts waiting to be made into bills, but I have difficulty finding it. I never feel confident that I've got all the item receipts done, since I don't work from that report.
Good luck!
