Quickbooks Import QBI

[adam5532]

The issue was with the way that the module creates new files ( not a dig adam )
When the system creates new files in the output folder its gives them to nobody:nobody this is not a problem unless you are running php as cgi,

It would be a good idea to add a sniffer to see if php is cgi and if so add files to username:username

Thanks for the suggestion. Please pm me with more details about this, and why PHP as a cgi does this vs PHP as an Apache module.

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam,

I was wondering if you have an estimated date for the QBI 4.0 release (UK market support),

Does it have the same features as the Datalink software?
http://www.datalinkuk.com/products-s...or-quickbooks/

Fully automated order download
Offline catalogue maintenance
Fully automated catalogue upload
Minute, hourly, daily or weekly data transfer scheduling
Secure data transfer
Automatic customer account creation in QuickBooks
Downloads UNLIMITED orders
Synchronises stock levels between QuickBooks and the Online Store
Maintains extensive logs
Automatic notification of system updates.

Please let me know the main difference between the two.

Many thanks,
Ed

I'm working on it. No estimated date yet.

I haven't used Datalink. From looking at their website and user manual, it looks like a very simple transfer utility. QBI has far more features and flexibility, and the latest version has extensive attribute handling options. You can see the QBI feature list, and keep up on its development at the QBI website, http://www.qbisoftware.com

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam, Had a long year away with my mom ill and am just getting my head back into QBI for our year end stuff.

Previously I had a problem with the status changing on shipped orders to processing and I realize now I must have uploaded an iif file unintentionally.

On two new concerns,

1. I noticed that many customers are missing in a created iif and the commonality they seem to have is having registered without ordering.

2. Also orders placed before the calendar year, possibly since we ran an accountants report for our 2006 filing, those orders don't import but the customer does showing "0" order history.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?

Hi Adam again....another problem...

In post 508 you say to follow the uninstall guidlines for QBI but I can't find any. So...I just removed all the files from the server as it seemed to be overloading something, according to my tech support.....he asked if I had compressed my databases??

Well I just can't see to load the zen admin very well...takes forever and everything els on the site works find. THis is after working with the config and trying to create iif files that made sence to me. Now, I have QBI in the menu but of course no QBI installed. How do I get it out of the menu???

My ultimate goal is to do a clean install I guess...but my admin load problems are not cured.

Hope you mom is doing better.

QBI does not import customers who have not placed orders. The reason is because due to the way the address book works (from the osC original), there is no separate billing and shipping addresses for those people, and hence their complete information is unknown. However, I will be adding an option in future versions to import those customers as well, and use their address for both billing and shipping.

2. Also orders placed before the calendar year, possibly since we ran an accountants report for our 2006 filing, those orders don't import but the customer does showing "0" order history.

Is this the way it is supposed to work?

QBI does not look at the date. It only checks the 'order status' and the 'QBI imported status.' So, if an order is not showing up, it is not meeting those criteria. Doesn't sound like a QBI issue.

Thanks,
Adam

I don' think your slow admin has anything to do with QBI. To uninstall QBI 3.21b completely, just download it from the Zen Cart contributions section if you don't still have the download. Follow the installation instructions in reverse, and remove all the files. You can locate those files by opening up the file tree in the download - you'll find the file that adds the menu items there -- you didn't remove it.

If you have 3.21 (without the b), then download the older version for the instructions on how to remove the menu item.

Thanks,
Adam
