Hi
I was wondering if you can import invoices from a customer straight into Quickbooks Pro, at the moment we get them faxed over and manually input them.
Please if you have any information on specific programs that either ourselves or our customer would need to have please give details
Thanks in Advance
RR
I'm not sure why you'd be getting invoices from customers but the answer to your question is no. Data entry is part of life but you can save yourself time by setting up Items in a logical manner so that you don't have to do much typing. A few keystrokes and liberal use of the Tab key gets me through most bill entry in seconds.
Maybe something like this could help?
Your CUSTOMER details your invoices?
I'm confused as to what you want to do.
As to simplifying data entry, enter OCR (optical character recognition) into google and you will find many programs that scan documents. My HP printer has that function as well, and it works fairly accurately for document entry.
For detailed entry into QB I suspect the learning curve on using the OCR program, and the corrections to the scanning errors that will occur, will take up more time than your current data entry procedures.
There are doc reader programs that can read a fax if it's sent in a .TIFF format. We use the service from FAXtopia and everything gets imported based on a bar code.
