QuickBooks Interface
Use Commander, not QuickBooks, for Inventory and Invoicing
The QuickBooks Integration takes the invoices you make in Commander and electronically moves them over to QuickBooks. You don’t need to manually post invoices, repair orders or sales invoices to QuickBooks. The integration even posts payments in Commander to QuickBooks.
- Keep on using QuickBooks to do your financial management – AR, AP, PR while replacing QuickBooks inventory and invoicing with Commander to create all your parts, service and sales transactions.
- The integration to QuickBooks sends all the Commander invoice detail to QuickBooks from Commander which eliminates manually posting parts, sales and service invoices to QuickBooks.
