When selling an item in POS should the inventory update be reflected in QB enterprise item count?

We've identified that the point-of-sale (POS) system is the primary means of recording inventory entries for ordered items. However, we've encountered an issue where inventory for items received through the POS system is not showing up in our QuickBooks Enterprise (QB Enterprise) account after using the "financial center" feature to update it. We're unsure if we're making an error or if there's a particular inventory setting we need to adjust for it to function properly.

Our business has two distinct parts: a front showroom that utilizes the POS system for off-the-shelf items sold to the general public, and a service department that generates invoices for specialized repair work using QB Enterprise. While the service department draws from the same inventory as the showroom, it bills through QB Enterprise. At present, inventory counts do not appear to be transferring over to QB Enterprise, causing some confusion. We would greatly appreciate any assistance with resolving this issue.

I do not use POS but as I understand it ...

Inventory is maintained in POS only, all QB gets is changes to the overall inventory asset account value.

Install a POS in the service department and that should solve the issue.

I experienced the same issue and was surprised to learn that there is no real 2 way communication seamlessly between the POS and QB Desktop.  No inventory information exchange.

 

There is a solution provided by third party apps.  But are pricey and an elaborate process. 

 

Consider using a third party POS solution that integrated 2 ways with the QBE environment maintaining all your Advanced Inventory features the dominant domain.
