The name of the QuickBooks table.

SQLStatement

An SQL statement that defines the records to select from the Alpha table.

quickbooks_field_map

Discussion

EXPORT_TO_QUICKBOOKS() is a part of QLinker, which is available as an optional add-in for Alpha Anywhere. To export an Inventory Part to QuickBooks:

1.

First add at least one inventory part and one bank account to QuickBooks.

2.

Each record must have fields that specify Asset, Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), and Income account values that match your QuickBooks database.

3.

Adding of inventory parts does not support sub-items.

To export a Non-Inventory Part to QuickBooks: Each record must have a field that specifies an Account Number value that matches your QuickBooks database. To export a Service Part to QuickBooks: Each record must have a field that specifies an Account Number value that matches your QuickBooks database. QLinker can export data from Alpha Anywhere to the following QuickBooks tables:

When you export data from Alpha Anywhere to QuickBooks, the data is appended to the existing data in the QuickBooks tables, with the following exception. When you export information from Alpha Anywhere to the Customer, Vendor or Employee tables, if a matching record is found in the corresponding QuickBooks table, the contact information is updated with the information from Alpha Anywhere.

Bill Invoice Service

Customer Inventory Part Vendor

Employee Non-inventory Part
