You should select this option when you no longer want to synchronize with the currently selected QuickBooks company file, and you want to begin synchronizing with a different QuickBooks company file.
Note: this function is irreversible. Once you have selected to sync with another QuickBooks company file, the link between Commit and the old (currently selected) QuickBooks company file is lost forever. If you choose to reselect the currently selected company file for synching with Commit at a future time, all the current sync settings will not be recognized. For example, if you import/sync Customer records from QuickBooks into Commit, duplicate records in Commit will be created.
Important Note: We strongly recommend you backup Commit's data prior to changing the company file (note that all users should not be using Commit while you perform the backup).
Commit data is stored in <server>\Commit\DB folder.
After you selected the new company file, the following window will open. Read the instructions carefully.
Select 'a DIFFERENT QuickBooks company file' only if you fully understand the meaning of this option, and you want Commit to sync with a different QuickBooks company file. Click Next.
Now you will be asked to open the selected QuickBooks company file as a QuickBooks Administrator and in Single User mode. Follow these instructions carefully.
Follow the instructions in the above screenshot to log in to QuickBooks as an Administrator and in Single User mode. Then, click Next.
Commit will now try to access the selected QuickBooks company file. QuickBooks will display a window requesting permission to allow access to the file. Grant Commit all the relevant permissions.
Make sure you select the correct settings as illustrated above:
1. Yes, always allow access to Commit even if QuickBooks is not running
2. Login as user with Admin privileges.
Note: The dialog box you see may slightly differ from the one above depending on your version/edition of QuickBooks.
Click Continue. QuickBooks will then ask you to confirm that you grant the permissions to Commit. Click Yes.
The QuickBooks company file will now be replaced.
A window will open warning you that the replacement may take time. Click Yes to confirm that you would like to proceed.
Click 'Yes, only if you have recently backup Commit data.'
Click 'Yes' to proceed.
Done!
Click here ''Finish.
Done! You have successfully replaced the QuickBooks company file Commit syncs with. Commit now has the new path to the QuickBooks company file.
Once you have completed selecting the new company file, you will be returned to the Options window. Click OK to close it.
