Synchronization

Synchronization is a crucial process within the HandiFox system. It allows having the most recent information both in HandiFox and QuickBooks (e.g. quantity on hand (QOH) for inventory items). Some data can be changed in the QuickBooks Integrated Module (e.g. when Transfer from the Main location is generated) and the handheld synchronization is needed for the handheld device to pick up the new data. Synchronization is very important for inventory counting - it allows seeing the actual item's QOH in QuickBooks and the manager can make decisions for applying counting sessions based on the most recent information. Synchronization is required to pick up the transactions created in QuickBooks on the handheld device.

If you need to perform some actions and transactions in QuickBooks, but you don't want it to impact information on the handheld, you can stop the QuickBooks connection. Then QuickBooks Integrated Module under File → HandiFox will not have the updated information from QuickBooks neither will the handheld devices. But as soon as you start connection again, all data will be downloaded to the QuickBooks Integrated Module and then after the handheld synchronization, it will appear on your handheld devices. Stopping the QuickBooks connection does not stop the handheld connection. Handhelds will still be able to synchronize with HandiFox Desktop Module and update data based on the current data from the HandiFox Desktop Module.

If you want to work only within QuickBooks and HandiFox Desktop (QuickBooks Integrated Module), you can stop the handheld connection and handhelds will not be able to synchronize. The synchronization between QuickBooks and HandiFox Desktop Module is performed automatically when the QuickBooks connection is started.
