Buy nowWe use Quickbooks: Premier Plus Manufacturing and Wholesales Edition 2023. I am the only user, but we do have the ability to have two users in total.
We would like to connect an online website to our Quickbooks: Premier Plus Manufacturing so any sales made on the website would automatically feed into it. I'm told this is possible using WOO Commerce. The process of receiving an order, processing it, and invoicing it out is what we're wondering about.
We've been researching online, but we're not finding answers.
1. To start -- If a customer goes to the website, places an order, and is the order is automatically transmitted to my Quickbooks? If so, how would I know if/when an order has been placed? Would I receive an email?
2. Once an order is sent to my Quickbooks, then what happens? Would a sales order be created automatically or is there more involved? If the item isn't in stock and must be built, does the system automatically create a purchase order to the vendor? Or if the part is in stock, does it automatically create a pick ticket? Or would I have do those manually?
3. Once a pick ticket is made, how does the pick ticket get to the warehouse? Would it have to be printed and walked back there or can it be emailed to the warehouse or can it be transmitted in some other way? I realize this question may sound rather simple, but we're trying to work out all the logistics without knowing all of QB's capabilities.
4. I'm assuming that once the goods are pulled and shipped, the pick ticket would be physically brought back to whoever is using QB to invoice out the sales order. Is that a safe assumption?
Essentially, I'm trying to find out what the process would be from start to finish, how much of it is automated, and how much must be done manually. We don't know what the volume of sales will be yet, so would using this process be more suited to low volume sales or high volume sales?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
