To integrate with QuickBooks, Commit uses the latest direct API technologies offered by Intuit/QuickBooks, known as QBFC. QBFC should be installed on every PC on your network which will be using the Commit-QuickBooks Link.
QBFC must be installed in order to use Commit-QuickBooks Link. Click Yes to install QBFC.
If you do not have the QBFC installation file, you may download it from the Commit web site. Instructions for downloading the file from the Commit site will appear. Follow these instructions, and then continue with the setup process.
The entire synchronization process takes place between Commit and a QuickBooks company file which you select.
Continue following the wizard until you are asked to select the QuickBooks company file you wish Commit to sync with.
If a window pops up with a security message about the QBFC5_0Installer.exe file, allow all security warnings, and run the file.
