Q: I'm trying to avoid buying a second license. Here is what I would like to do with POS:
Have a computer set up running the cash register, but also have a computer set up to enter new inventory at the same time the register is being used. Can I use an excel template to enter all new inventory and periodically import the new inventory to the cash register computer?

A: That would be a real problem if you are using POS with QBF.  When you import inventory, it creates an inventory adjustment which is posted to financial as a negative expense.  When you receive inventory into POS, it gets posted as a bills which is how it should work.  If you need to enter inventory at the same time as sales, you really need another license.  Remember you can buy it from a reseller like us as well as Intuit.  Resellers set their own pricing.
