4. A window will popup inside your QuickBooks, it will ask you to grant permission for ZedAxis to make changes in your QuickBooks.

  • You Must be logged in as an Administrator to allow this permission
    •  You only have to approve once as an administrator, then you do not need to be logged in as an Admin to use the transfer tool.
  • After granting access in QuickBooks, Zed Axis should say you are now connected, displaying the file path as seen below

5-D. Then select the Import tab

6-D. Browse and Select the file you Exported from the Billing page of Pool Office Manager

 

MAPPING  

7-D. Download this file and save it to your computer: https://poolofficemanager.com/quickbooks-desktop-mapping/

  • Under Setup column mapping select the dropdown and click Import New Mapping
  • Choose the file that you downloaded. 
    • If you do not see the file, be sure to drag the file from inside downloaded folder, to your desktop. Then repeat step 7-D.
  • When you select the mapping dropdown, choose QB Desktop Mapping. 

  • When you import a mapping file, ZedAxis will not provide a confirmation, so in order to verify if the mapping file was imported properly, check the list to see if it is there. 

  • If you get an error, you may have tried importing twice, please view this article for a solution

    • If the import does not work, mimic the screenshot below to manually setup your own mapping file

Importing The Invoice:

 

  •  

8-D. Ensure the newly create mapping field is selected, check the box that says “Use Auto Numbering” and make sure Duplicate is selected

9-D. If you create a new item in POM, it will create a new item in quickbooks automatically, using the default settings in this menu. If you would like to change the default settings, go to More Options and make edits. I highly recommend choosing Non-Inventory Part or Service. Later, you can always change the item type, account, etc.. once the item is created in QuickBooks. 

10-D.  You have now finished the setup, select Import to begin the import process.

11-D. When it is complete, review the Summary for any issues or errors.

  • You can close out of the tool and verify that QuickBooks now contains the invoices for the services you transferred.
  • When you're finished, disconnect your tool from Quickbooks
