So you're setting up the Quickbooks Toolkit screen!

Installing on the client machine

We can not link Quickbooks and ITrack Pro until the customer has Quickbooks all set up (because we don't know - and shouldn't know - the inner workings of the customer's accounting methods). Once Quickbooks is set up according to their accounting methods just follow these steps:

  1. Install the latest version of the Quickbooks SDK (currently 8.0)
    1. Requires a restart.
  2. Put Quickbooks into multi-user mode (File->Switch to Multi-User mode)
  3. Make sure the ITrack Quickbooks Toolkit is pointed at the same company file as the one open in Quickbooks
  4. Initiate communication with Quickbooks from the ITrack Quickbooks Toolkit
  5. Go back to Quickbooks, set it up to always be able to communicate, even when Quickbooks is not turned on

Dependencies

You will not be able to push certain objects to Quickbooks until all of the objects that they depend on are successfully linked with Quickbooks.

Here are the objects that can be exported to Quickbooks, followed by the objects that they depend on:
