ERP Integration
QuickBooks EDI integration
QuickBooks does not include retailer EDI, so when a retailer mandates it you need a provider sitting between them and your books. Interlink Commerce runs managed EDI for QuickBooks Online, Desktop, and Enterprise: retailer purchase orders (850) flow in and become the matching records in QuickBooks, and ASNs (856) and invoices (810) go back out automatically, without anyone rekeying an order or migrating off QuickBooks onto a full ERP.
What it does
QuickBooks Online
Orders, customers, and items synced with your QuickBooks Online company, no manual import.
Desktop & Enterprise
QuickBooks Desktop and Enterprise supported for suppliers who run their books locally.
POs become records
Inbound 850s create the matching sales order or invoice, mapped to the right customer and items.
ASNs & invoices out
Outbound 856 ASNs and 810 invoices generated from your QuickBooks data and sent to the retailer.
No ERP migration
Meet an EDI mandate on the accounting system you already run, instead of moving to a full ERP first.
Fully managed
We build, map, monitor, and support the connection. There is no translator software for your team to run.
How a retailer order moves through QuickBooks
- 1
The retailer sends an 850
The purchase order arrives over EDI and Interlink validates it before anything reaches your books.
- 2
It lands in QuickBooks
The order is created against the correct customer, items, and pricing, with no one retyping it from a portal.
- 3
You ship
Shipping detail becomes a compliant 856 ASN, formatted to that retailer’s labeling and timing rules.
- 4
You get paid
Your QuickBooks invoice goes out as an 810 and is acknowledged with a 997, so you can see it landed.
Retailers we connect QuickBooks to
QuickBooks EDI FAQ
Does QuickBooks support EDI?
Not on its own. QuickBooks has no built-in retailer EDI, so a retailer that mandates EDI requires a provider to translate their X12 documents into records QuickBooks can use, and to send compliant documents back. Interlink Commerce runs that layer for you across QuickBooks Online, Desktop, and Enterprise.
Can I do EDI with QuickBooks without switching to an ERP?
Yes, and it is the most common reason suppliers come to us. We connect EDI to the QuickBooks account or company file you already run, so you can satisfy a retailer mandate in days without first migrating to NetSuite or another full ERP.
Which QuickBooks versions do you connect?
QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and QuickBooks Enterprise. We confirm your exact edition and the right connection method during scoping.
What happens to a retailer purchase order in QuickBooks?
An inbound 850 is validated and mapped into QuickBooks against the correct customer, items, and pricing, so nobody rekeys it from a retailer portal. Your fulfillment then generates the outbound 856 ASN and your invoice generates the 810.
How much does QuickBooks EDI cost?
Plans start at $50/mo, and No Transaction, No Invoice means you only pay in months you actually trade documents. Dropship orders are billed at a flat 25¢ per order instead of per document.
