Does this connect to QuickBooks Desktop?

This connection is for QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Desktop is outside the workflow described here.

Does LineNow replace my accounting software?

No. QuickBooks Online remains your accounting system. LineNow brings supplier purchasing, communication, and receiving into the bill handoff.

Are inventory quantities tracked by location in QuickBooks?

The configured QuickBooks inventory connection uses a company-wide quantity for each tracked item. It does not write separate QuickBooks inventory quantities for individual LineNow locations.

Are bills and inventory one connection?

They are separate workflows. The accounting handoff handles bills and vendor credits. The optional catalog and inventory connection has its own mappings and synchronization behavior.
