QINVOICING Invoicing Software
QINVOICING is an invoicing application that includes Internet sales as another facet of the firm's business, integrating the sales processes of virtual shops into the daily management of the business.
In most cases, any party that sells its products on the Internet using a virtual shop should also have an invoicing program to control the off-line part of the business (shops, warehouses, sales reps, costs and expenses, etc.) and meet its tax obligations (tax returns, official ledgers, etc.).
This invoicing software already contains the data for the products, references, descriptions, rates and discounts needed for traditional sales, but in the case of Internet operations, the information must be hosted on a web server and available on-line 24 hours a day.
OsCommerce is a superb e-commerce application for managing an entire virtual Internet shop. However, if not integrated with the company's invoicing software, all product data must be duplicated by entering it again into the respective database.

To fill in the osCommerce shop, it is necessary to manually re-enter the product data (already in the invoicing software database) on the web forms used to administer the shop. It is well known that manual data entry through web applications with a browser is very slow and exasperating, in comparison to the speed and possibilities achieved by programs that run a local computer or network.
In practice, this approach toward filling in the osCommerce shop by duplicating the data already contained in the invoicing software is exceedingly tedious and rather inefficient. Because of the difficulty and administrative cost of maintaining two databases with the same information, this is only recommended for virtual shops with a limited number of products and orders.
QINVOICING includes an automatic link for the invoicing database with osCommerce, thus solving the problems that might arise with keeping duplicate systems.
