Quickbooks and ASW 9

Although Auto Shop Writer 9 has a fully integrated accounting system, some of our clients also want their data posted to Quickbooks by Intuit (QB).  Beginning with version 8.60, Auto Shop Writer will post the following information to Quickbooks.  Our link is designed for Quickbooks 2006 Professional as the minimum requirement.

MasterLink Software does not provide any support for Quickbooks accounting.  You must contact the publisher directly with all questions regarding the operation and results of accounting with Quickbooks.    We will provide answers to your questions about the interface we supply to Quickbooks, and those questions would not be appropriate to address to Intuit.  We also do not provide any training services for Quickbooks accounting.  There are many trained experts available in your location to assist with those questions.

Workorders

Once you have installed the ASW 9 / Quickbooks link, whenever you close a workorder, the totals will be written into Quickbooks to the company you specify.  This is accomplished by creating an invoice for the client in QB, and applying the payment if one was made.  If the customer is not in QB already, then the link will add the client before creating the invoice. You must have the interface installed on the computer where Quickbooks is installed, and that is the ONLY computer on which you are to close workorders !

Receivables

If a payment is not received, that invoice will automatically be left open and appear on the receivables listing.

Vendors and Accounts Payables

At this time we do not post AP information to QB.  You would simply create your vendors within QB, and then you can post invoices there as they are received, and make your payments accordingly.

Payroll

We do not currently post any data to the QB Payroll system

Ledger

QB maintains its own ledger based on the information which is posted into the system

Please read the QB Link Initialization / Auto Setup section carefully before attempting a QB setup.
