Vendor Invoice to Shipment Sync in QuickBooks Desktop | Automate Tariff Codes and POs with QBIS

Managing shipments, tariff codes, and purchase orders manually after creating a vendor invoice in QuickBooks Desktop can be time-consuming and error-prone.

With QBIS Sync, you can automatically pull all shipment items, tariff codes, and POs directly from QuickBooks Desktop Bills the moment your vendor invoice is entered — saving hours of manual work.

Why Businesses Need Automated Shipment Sync

For most import/export and manufacturing companies, shipment data must stay aligned with vendor bills. But manual entry often leads to:

• Duplicate data entries between QuickBooks and shipment systems
• Wrong or missing tariff codes
• Mismatch between purchase orders (POs) and shipments
• Delays in processing and compliance reporting

Automation solves all these challenges by making QuickBooks the central source of truth for every shipment transaction.

Here’s how QBIS Automation works for QuickBooks Desktop users:

Shipment Data Pull

Shipment Creation or Update
