mk162:
the earlier you start with a good management program, the better.  We started in 2006, thankfully we don't get many people placing reorders from before then.

Prosperi-Tees:
I agree. I think I will invest tomorrow with her and get QuickBooks setup and then we will look at installing the shop software

ZooCity:
Approach it from this angle:

What data do you need out of the quoting program and into the accounting?  - Sales and COS Purchases.

That's it and it's a very easy import or manual entry into the accounting program of your choice.  This is like a 15 minute job daily, weekly or monthly depending on your workload for sales out of the quoting program.  You could even do it on the fly, right after you receive payment on an order, it goes into qb.   Most of these programs, I think, even let you manage payments and account balances from within and many have qb exports.

Pitch the idea that it's less work for her to do on the accounting side and less to muck it all up.  In accounting terms it matters not what color or brand of Ts someone ordered or what they had printed on them.  All that matters in that realm is how much you were paid by the client and what you paid for or owe your suppliers in materials on the project.  Coming from a simplified ordering and quoting program it really is that simple. 

Prosperi-Tees:
Does QB handle inventory tracking? How about different price levels for one product. I'm actually asking this for a product business we are starting. I want a software that can handle inventory, accounting, accounts payable and receivable, purchasing and invoicing etc. Will QB be the right choice?

Audifox:
We've been using QBooks for 15 yrs. We have the premier version. It will do everything that you are asking about.
 Go with the pro or premier version.
