Quickbooks Import QBI

[adam5532]

Please excuse me if this has already been asked, however there are many posts in this forum that I just prefer not to read.

Is this only compatible with Quickbooks, or can it also be used for Quicken?

thank you,

betty

Betty,

It only works with Quickbooks, not with Quicken. Since the purpose of QBI is to import Invoices or Sales Orders, I assume you are referring to Quicken Home and Business? If you are running an online business, you might consider moving up to Quickbooks Pro 2007. Intuit has reduced the price to $149, so it is pretty affordable. QBI currently only works with US versions of Quickbooks, although other country versions are in development.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi,

I am getting this error when I try to creat an IFF file for orders only. Products and customers work fine-

Warning: fopen(/home/rusty2/public_html/newcatalog/mgsadmin/qbi_output/qbi_orders.iif): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rusty2/public_html/newcatalog/mgsadmin/includes/classes/qbi_classes.php on line 2371
Unable to create or open output file for writing. Check that the qbi_output directory is set to CHMOD 777.

Those files are set to 777. The only weird thing I see is that order dates are wrong.

New Orders
Quan: 0


Previous Batch of Orders
Quan: 2
No.: 1 to 2
Date: Sep 29, 2006 6:58 am to Oct 5, 2006 4:15 am


All Previous Orders
Quan: 2
No.: 1 to 2
Date: Sep 29, 2006 6:58 am to Oct 5, 2006 4:15 am

Any ideas?

That's strange that there isn't an error then for products and customers. Make sure that the DIRECTORY itself is set to CHMOD 777. You could also put a dummy file in there called qbi_orders.iif and CHMOD it to 777. It will get over-written when a new one is made.

I'm not sure what you mean that the order dates are wrong. You won't get any new orders until some are placed AFTER QBI has been installed. Also, they won't show up unless they match the status that you've set on the QBI Configure page under the option "Import orders with status:".

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Adam

Hello, I just installed a fresh zen, and installed QBI right after. I followed the install docs, but QBI is not showing in the menu under customers in the admin panel.

lol,
Merlin screwed up,
IN the files you uploaded make sure that the flie located at
admin/includes/boxes/quickbooks_customers_dhtml.php
that need to go into the folder named extra_boxes.

I have just uploaded QBI v3.21b to the contribution area.

Version 3.21b is the same as 3.21, except that the installation procedure has been simplified. It corrects a minor bug in the previous 3.21-NCC that caused QBI not to show in the Admin menus (the easy fix is in Merlin's post above).

Great thanks to Merlin and Alex for pointing out the improved installation to me.

Thanks,

Works like a charm.

Thank you.

I just now finished installing 3.21 and came here to find out about the not showing up in menu issue. If I move the file, do I still need to upgrade to 3.21b?

thank you,

No.

Just move
/admin/includes/boxes/quickbooks_customers_dhtml.php
to:
/admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/quickbooks_customers_dhtml.php

Then it will be virtually identical to 3.21b. I renamed those files added by Merlin, just to be more consistent with the rest of QBI, and removed one that wasn't needed, but functionally it is the same. The core code of 3.21, 3.21-NCC, and 3.21b is identical.

Thanks,
