Hi Doug,

Unfortunately, we don't expect the AR 9.0 compatible version of SalesCQ to be available until the 1st quarter of 2010. It's undergoing a major revision to handle the formatted addresses.

You can create Inventory items in SalesCQ and they are created directly in Inventory. Although it has been suggested, there is no way to create a "transient" item that only gets added to inventory when the quote is turned into an order.

SalesCQ allows the sales staff to "tinker" with orders before actually committing the items in OrderEntry.

We're all looking forward to the AR 9.0 compatible version.
