Client wants to start selling on Amazon. He wants his inventory on Amazon to sync up with his inventor on Quickbooks DESKTOP (not Online).  Is this possible without individually entering each sale on QB?  I know I can import his sales, but what about keeping his inventory accurate?  

 

I have a lot of experience with Amazon, but not with inventory.  Your thoughts and suggestions?

    Invnetory is only reduced by one of two actions, a sale with that item listed, or an inventory adjustment.

     

    So to sync amazon with QBDT inventory you need to import each sale by item.

    or

    get an excel sheet from amazon listing the items sold, and use something like transaction pro importer to convert the excel sheet to an iif formatted file for inventory sales.  To this you would need a generic customer like "AZ Sales" and import the sale as a sales receipt.

     

    iif formatted file can not do an inventory adjustment, nor build assembly items.

    What is "transaction pro importer?" Is that an app?

    Hi @truleigh

    You can check out Unify Desktop app from Webgility to Sync the Inventory to QuickBooks.

    There are two ways to sync up your inventories 1) Make sure your Inventory at Amazon and Quickbooks are Updated and then you can download the Orders and Post them in QuickBooks as Sales Receipts which will decrease the qty of the item in Quickbooks , that you have sold on Amazon. 2) Use Webgility which does have the Option to synchronize the Item Qty's of Amazon top QuickBooks. So the second option will be the most viable solution for you. Please let me know if you need any further help. :)

    Do not ever use unify or webgility. Their billing department have zero ethical standards. I didnt use them for a year and then renewal came and they charged my card 799.00. I called same day i saw charge and I didnt use the service and they told me no refunds and I should have called day before charge. 

     

    They also took my money and didnt deliver the sub. Locked my account...so yes, this is legally theft.

    I use a program from qbosolutions.com, works only with QB desktop though. Very simple to use
