Ya; I need it more for entering Invoices while I am at my customers
account, which I then sync with the copy on my desktop at the office.
The invoices are then printed from the desktop and the orders go out.
Right now, I have to hand write all the orders, and then enter them into
the system when I get back to the office, which usually takes a couple of
hours.
It seems a little weird that Intuit doesn't offer this type of service; I
can only imagine that it is in high demand in the sales and distribution
game.
Hopefully someone will have some interesting respoinses to my other post
on this board.
