Flat Quickbooks Export.iif File Generated in Nexternal

The QuickBooks export creates an export.iif file which can be imported directly into QuickBooks by Intuit. The import includes both customers and orders.

Before creating a QuickBooks Import file, use the preferences link to customize the export to suit your needs. Orders may be imported as Sales Receipts (a.k.a. Cash Sales) or Invoices, based on the method of payment (credit card vs. non-credit card). When specifying accounts, vendors, and items to use, take care to enter them letter for letter as they appear in QuickBooks. This is essential for accurate results.

With regard to products, the import will attempt to match Nexternal's SKU field to items in QuickBooks' Item List. Again, an exact letter for letter match is required. If a product is listed as a "Subitem" in QuickBooks, the Nexternal SKU must match the format Item:Subitem. For products with attributes, this format is automatically used in the .iif file, based on the product-level SKU and SKU-level SKU, when applicable.

Nexternal's Product Name is mapped to QuickBooks' Description field. However, an exact match is not necessary.
