Importing Items from QuickBooks into Commit

Top  Previous  Next

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

 

Important note: If all your Items 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.

 

Every Labor/Parts/Expense Charge in Commit is based on a selected Item. This is why Items are important to the entire billing process. The Commit-QuickBooks Link enables you to import all your Items from QuickBooks, saving you from retyping Item details in Commit.
