Thereafter any changes to these records within All Orders will be update QuickBooks in real-time or be added to the Sync Queue.

In addition to the list All Orders can generate transactions in QuickBooks as shown in the following table. Note All Orders does not synchronize QuickBooks transactions! The Trigger or Button will record the transaction in QuickBooks in real-time or it will be added to the Sync Queue (See below). The recording can also take place from the related list. For example you can record an Ship Doc as an Invoice by pressing the Invoice button on the ship doc or you can record several ship docs at the same time from the Ship Doc List.

Sending POs to QuickBooks is provided for legacy purposes. Generally POs are received in All Orders and then sent to QuickBooks as either a Bill or Item Receipt. Once you send the PO to QB you will not be able to receive it through All Orders so this is not suggested. |
