Importing Customers/Vendors from QuickBooks into Commit for the first time

Top  Previous  Next

This section will show you how to import your Customers into Commit.

 

Important note: If all your Customers are already in Commit, do not use this import feature until you have created links between existing records in Commit and their related records in QuickBooks. To learn more about how to create these links, click here.

 

Note that before performing a batch import, it is recommended that you first back up all your Commit data. The Commit data is stored in <server>Commit\DB.

 

After backing up your data, follow the instructions below to import Customers/Vendors from QuickBooks into Commit:

 

In the Accounts window, go to the QuickBooks drop down toolbar menu and select Import New Records/Update Linked Records from QuickBooks...

 

commit_importing_accounts_from_qb

 

commit_backup_warning

If you have backed up your Commit Data, click OK to continue with the import process.

 

The import wizard will ask you to select the QuickBooks records you would like to import into Commit. By default, only active Customers are imported. If you want to import your vendors as well, follow the import wizard again once you have completed importing your Customers, and select Vendors.
