Quickbooks items imported to Point of Sale?

On Quickbooks all our inventory information has been stored for a few months-and its now a large amount of info. We recently purchased Quickbook Point of Sale and we would like to put info from Quickbooks onto Quickbook Point of Sale without having to re-enter everything. But, Quickbooks is on a different computer then P. of Sale. IS there ANY way of importing this information?

1. You should be able to create a portable company file from the previous Quickbooks version. It is seriously compressed so you should be able to save it onto a flash drive or CD. Open the POS version then click on file, then restore, then find the portable folder on the new computer and click on it. It should import from the portable file. If it is just the inventory items, you can export them intto a CSV or Excel file from the items list. Save on a CD or flash drive then put them into the other computer. Open your POS version, then go to file, then utilities, then import list, then items. Find the file on your drive and clidk. CSV is faster, but sometimes has issues if the set up in the new system isn't exactly the same. Excel can be slower, but gives you the option of mapping the specific fields in the spreadsheet to specific fields in QuickBooks.
