Adam - I am on WinXP using Acrobat 7.0 and cannot open the PDF. I am getting an error message: "There was an error trying to open this document. The viewer cannot decrypt this document."

Surely you must have a better solution than to flame a linux user!
Help!

btw: thanks for the great product,

The manual opens with Acrobat 6.0 or later. Try downloading QBI again - maybe the pdf file got corrupted.

Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Adam for replying. I did try using the qbi_create.php directly but it still redirect me to the admin login page.

By the way, I'm hosted on a window server with ixwebhosting.com and I'm using a demo store for testing until I get everything work. It's a fresh install of Zen 1.3.7.

Check that your directory paths are set correctly in the Zen Cart config. QBI gets its paths from there, so if they are not set up correctly it impacts QBI. Check that your secure paths are correct too. If you can't get to the page, and it exists on your server, then something is interfering before you even get to QBI. Either a path issue, or an admin permissions issue.

Thanks,
Adam

Does this work for a UK shop with Quickbooks pro 2007 ?

It will not work with UK Quickbooks. If you use US Quickbooks your VAT will not work correctly.

UK support is coming in QBI 4.x!

Thanks,

I'm really looking forward to using this mod, but there is one problem that is stopping me.

I can not have this mod creating my order numbers for me. I need quick books to assign all order numbers. I currently use a format of "0709123" Year, month, order number basically. We get phone orders all the time, which means that I input orders manually sometimes into quick books.

I guess I basically want to turn off the order number feature that QBI it trying to create, and let quick books keep my order number format when importing orders. Is this possible?

Thank you!

When I upload orders iif files to Quick Books, I get the following warning:

Quickbooks has detected that one of your items does not have an account associated with it. Go to the item list to make sure all items are associated with accounts.

I then get an error message about my files not being able to being uploaded. What could I be doing to fix this?

Can anyone help?

That solves it - I was using Acrobat 5.0.

on an unrelated note:
Looking around Quickbooks' developers site, i notice that the .iif format is being phased out in favor of an XML API. Any plans in the work to port QBI or create a new mod based on the new API?

Thanks again for the great mod,

I have to say i love this contribution but I have having two small issues.

First is i get errors when entering the .iff file if that days orders has attributes. Is there a way to set up attributes correctly ?

second is i take credit card payments and paypal payments . the paypal payments (invoice) always update with the correct order number but the credit card payments keep falling father and farther behind the actual order number . is there a way to fix this ?
