Will is going back to Los Angeles next week! Our client base in the LA area is really expanding. We have a potential client who Will spoke with over the phone several months ago, discussing the features and implementation of QuickBooks Point of Sale but due to different reasons, no more steps were taken to move forward with implementing the system at his company. We have now reconnected with this customer. Will is going to provide an in person Point of Sale version 12 product demonstration for the customer at his store in LA. In this case, Will prefers to meet in person, providing that personable level of customer service that sets us apart from many others. It is our goal to provide the business owner with all the information necessary to make an educated decision on which accounting software to purchase and implement..
A customer recently inquired about opening the QB Enterprise Solutions (ES) Accountants copy. She uses the QB Premium Edition and her client gave her the Accountants copy that goes along with QBES. She cannot open it. The reason is that you have to use the QBES Accountant Edition to open an ES Accountant’s Copy. Enterprise is a different file structure.
Don’t hesitate to contact us with your questions and we will be happy to respond. We want to ensure that you have correct information to enhance your operational effectiveness, whether you are already a QB user or you are researching the QB products.
Your business depends on accuracy which means that you need to have an accurate inventory count. If you and your staff are doing itself you will need the appropriate scanner/s to perform your count.
We rent the CipherLab 8000-C Portable Data Collector. We have 2 scanners and 1 cradle for rent and typically rent them for one week at a time. The start date is the date that you receive the items, whether you pick them up at our office or we ship them to you. If you need to keep them for an additional amount of time, just simply contact us and if we do not already have another client waiting for them, we will make arrangements with you for the extra time. We pay to ship them to you and you pay the return shipping. And don't forget to have plenty of AAA batteries on hand.
For the costs and additional details, please contact us by phone or email.

Excerpt from the QuickBooks Point of Sale Store Operations Handbook:
Since one of the primary purposes of any Point of Sale system is to track inventory, it is important that you receive, sell and adjust the inventory correctly. This will ensure that you have accurate margin reports as well as accurate financial reporting. Our example assumes that we have no prior inventory and are receiving items from a purchase order. We will show you later how to receive items without a purchase. By creating a purchase order, you obtain several advantages such as knowing what you ordered and the cash that you have committed. Also, by using the purchase order, you can create items on the fly and input order quantities. That will save time by combining two steps into one process.
What is an Intuit Solution Provider (ISP)? What is an Intuit ProAdvisor? And what does this mean for the end user of QuickBooks?
Solution Providers have expertise in technology and solutions integration for small-to-medium sized businesses. They are certified to resell, implement, and support QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, Point of Sale, Intuit QuickBase, and other Intuit and third-party products.
Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors have expertise in accounting and bookkeeping services for small-to-medium sized businesses. They are typically CPAs, accountants, and small business advisors or consultants who have been tested and certified by Intuit to help businesses learn and use QuickBooks and other Intuit products.
Both Solution Providers and QuickBooks ProAdvisors may provide services beyond these core services, either through additional expertise within their firms or through collaborating with other firms.

It is crucial to have your QuickBooks file accurately backed up. Good backup meaning that your data file does not have error on it and if you ever loose your power connection, you can quickly reconnect and your data is not lost. Yesterday William (Will) drove to Laguna Beach, CA to assist one of our clients. He reconnected their QB Point of Sale (POS) with their server because they lost the connection. It is so important to have a system with a redundant hard drive and current backups.

With a client base that spans across the country, remote meetings are a necessity for us at English Management Solutions, Inc. We can work with anyone, anywhere by utilizing web conferencing and online meeting tools. We collaborate with individuals and groups, perform remote support and product demonstrations, and conduct live, interactive trainings. As much as possible, we meet face to face but many times, due to the distance between us and our clients along with time restraints, we host remote meetings. William English is currently assisting one of our bookkeeping clients, who is based in Virginia, with their financials by using a web based meeting application.
While most current Windows based PC’s will function well with these products (and where QBPOS is concerned you can purchase bundled computer packages), it is more important to note that the peripheral components that work with QBPOS are also important.
Where QBPOS is concerned, peripheral components you might want or need to include:
• Cash drawers
• Receipt printers
• Bar code scanners
• Credit card swipes or credit card swipes with integrated pin pad readers for debit transactions
• Pole displays that show the customer what was purchased and the amount
• Label printers that allow you to print your own merchandise tags
• Physical inventory scanners that allow you to easily count inventory and upload those counts to QBPOS
• Touch screens

Will had a customer this week with a problem that he's never seen before, so he wants to share in hopes that it will help some of you if you ever have the same issue.
When the customer booted up the computer, they just got a splash screen; no boot up menu or anything and it didn’t boot into windows. Digging back into the far recesses of my brain, I recall that the first thing computers check when they boot up is hardware (keyboard, mouse, etc.) We unplugged all of the USB devices and then started adding them back one by one until we found out the problem. In this case, it was the touch screen. Touchscreens use either a USB port or serial port to allow the computer to communicate with the touchscreen. I got the screen replaced under warranty and in the meantime, the customer is using the computer with no touch.
It was a pretty easy fix and the customer was back up within an hour.
QuickBooks Point of Sale is an inventory control and customer facing sales tool that works well in traditional retail settings. While it has numerous strengths that make it good fit for stores that need up to 20 workstations and (given the version) can manage 20 different locations (each with 20 workstations), one of its great benefits is the strong integration with QuickBooks Financial products that you may already be using. QBPOS will update QBFS with all of the inventory values, sales, sales tax, inventory value adjustments that originate in QBPOS so that you do not have to manually reenter transactions in your accounting.
