I was really hoping this software would work for me. I own a small ATV/motorcycle parts and repair business. I needed 3 things a POS solution (copper) a inventory management solution (Inventoria) and lastly a decent accounting system...ah Express Accounting....Copper works well but one major problem...It does not post transactions "sales" to EA. why would this not be a feature?? I read everything I could find on it prior to purchasing the stuff and it did not say it would not, but did not say directly that it did, but left that impression. Inventora seems to be a good app. Easy to use, lots of "on the fly" input, so you don't have to back out and make a category you forgot to earlier. it does sync to the others but just for inventory only Express accounts....I thought this would be a lot more integrated than it is. I started by using the whole suite. Einvoice for the back shop, copper up front for the cash register inventoria for inventory and Eaccounts to record everything....sounds good right?....well not so. after realizing that invoices were not being picked up by EA that were created in express invoice until you record a payment. well that creates a problem with your accounts receivable in EA....there is none...so I quit using Ei. so I was looking for a way to import those invoices into EA and there is a import for it....but beware when you use it, it wipes dam near the whole system. all payments entered, any other invoices created in EA it even wiped my journal, oh ya took out my logo too. it was like I had just installed it but with only the invoices from Ei. the only thing it did not wipe was my tax rate. so I lost 6 months worth of input and about $200 in purchasing this software. It really has the potential to be a good suite system if it all worked together not only syncing inventory but sales across the platform. it falls majorly short of what most people would reasonably expect this system to do in my opinion. Just want to share my experience with NCH business software Thank you

there is a "import from Ei" in EA on the list on the left...but beware it wiped my whole EA system out. I am not happy at all with this system. it cleared all payments, invoices and even wiped my journal without even a warning. I have been so pissed I have not even tried to redo anything. the only software that links together is inventoria stock levels and respective individual software. so to be clear invoices/sales created in Ei, Copper POS, will not "Auto" post into EA. except what is mentioned above upon payment. It would be my suggestion to allow restricted web access to EA (invoicing only) to create quotes/invoices Good luck

Thank you for the reply, I really wish I would of know that prior to purchasing the software. I was under the impression from everything I read that it did. Thanks again

What is the best way to bring sales made in copper into Express accounts? Please reply on what you do if you use both programs Thank you

Does copper auto update sales to express accounts? if so how do I set this? Copper, EA, Inventoria all synced through Inventoria. Also have express invoice installed (and Synced) and it is not putting invoices (sales) into Express Accounts either. It does remove from items from inventoria but no sales are recorded in any other program other than the one it was created in. Any help would be appreciated. Update I found the "import from express invoice" option so that is solved. Figured it would be auto. Now need the copper sales to post to express accounts Thank you
