Title: "one item per line" in General Settings
Post by: rjsmeyer on August 15, 2015, 10:25:05 AM: I'd like to NOT use the "one item per line" setting, since some of our receipt tapes get awfully long that way.

HOWEVER, I use the Z-out report to enter quantities sold into Quickbooks, and when I unclick the "one line per item" setting, I only get a quantity of each unique line item sold, and not the actual quantity of items overall.

For example, if I have the "one line per item" box checked, and sell 100 red vases of the same price, I get a 5-foot long receipt tape, but at least an accurate quantity of "100" on the z-out report. If I DON"T have that box checked, I get a reasonably-size receipt tape, but then only a quantity of "1" on the z-out report!

For various reasons, I'm not interested in seeing the number of line items of transactions I've had for the day, I need to be able to see the actual number of items I've sold.

Isn't there some of separating my choices of how the transactions are recorded from how the z-outs are generated?

Thanks!

I recall running across something about exporting to Quickbooks, but I can't seem to find it again in the Help manual. Where is that located?

Thanks!

Hi Ronald,
Could I have you change the z-out? That would help lots. Thanks!

Post by: rjsmeyer on September 06, 2015, 09:58:06 AM: That sure seems to do it, Ronald - thanks!

The only thing that threw me off for a bit was the quantities showing up to 2 decimal points (looked like more dollar amounts at first!). This will help a lot, though.

Post by: rjsmeyer on September 21, 2015, 08:54:59 AM: Hi Ronald,

Well, the 2 decimal points on the quantities is generally no problem - until I get to prices of $1 or $2. Then all the numbers start looking the same and data entry becomes more error-prone.

So, if you could possibly bring the quantity values down to zero decimal places - when you have some free time and are fiddling with that part of the software again - I'd be forever in your debt.

Thanks for all your efforts!

Title: export to Quickbooks

Ronald, just one question about this - is there a way to have daily sales sent to QB as TOTALS this way? I'm trying to figure out whether it would work for me, but I really don't need (or want) every single sales transaction recorded individually in QB.

Thanks!

Post by: rjsmeyer on March 01, 2016, 10:39:45 AM: Okay, I see how that works.

Actually, I'm surprised at how much data IS in there - payment methods, type of sale (merchandise vs service), etc. I think this might just work. thanks!
