HireHop prináša množstvo nových funkcií – Pokročilé funkcie softvéru na prenájom vybavenia

Tlačová správa (30/06/2023)

Za posledných 9 mesiacov spoločnosť HireHop Equipment Rental Software vydala množstvo nových a jedinečných funkcií, ktoré ešte viac posúvajú funkčnosť výkonného softvérového riešenia, ktoré je už na trhu vedúce, a ktoré si v krátkom čase osvojili niektoré z najväčších spoločnosti v odvetví, ako aj množstvo stredných a malých spoločností.

HireHop, ktorý počúva potreby svojich používateľov, implementoval rôzne nové funkcie a vylepšil existujúce, aby nielen vyhovoval rôznym požiadavkám svojich používateľov, ale aby bol softvér efektívnejší a škálovateľnejší.

HireHop nielenže pridáva množstvo funkcií, ale pracuje aj na svojej serverovej infraštruktúre pridávaním ďalších serverov po celom svete do rámca AWS, ktorý využívajú, ale tiež vyvíja nové a pokročilé techniky v zákulisí na zlepšenie rýchlosti, spoľahlivosti a výkon.


  • Modul údržby – Nový modul, ktorý vylepšuje predchádzajúcu funkčnosť údržby, umožňuje používateľom zaznamenávať poruchy, opravy, testy, služby a ďalšie pre každý majetok alebo hromadne, a dokonca môže používať fotoaparát telefónu ako snímač čiarových kódov, a to všetko bez dodatočných nákladov.
  • Pozastavenie účtovania – Táto jedinečná funkcia vám nielenže umožňuje pozastaviť účtovanie zákazníkovi na určitý čas, ale tiež vám umožňuje uplatniť zľavu na vybrané položky počas určitého obdobia, napríklad počas 4-dňovej prepravy chcete znížiť poplatok za prenájom. o 50 % len na tieto 4 dni, alebo môžete prerušiť nabíjanie na dni, keď sa súprava nepoužíva.
  • Nové prehľadyHireHop pridal množstvo nových finančných správ, správ o údržbe a zariadení.
  • Predpríprava druhej úrovne – Keď pripravíte vybavenie v krabici, táto krabica môže obsahovať ďalšiu krabicu vybavenia.
  • Neobmedzené dátumy pre úlohu – Teraz môžete k úlohe pridať neobmedzené množstvo ďalších dátumov, napríklad môžete pridať časy skúšok, prázdniny atď., pričom všetky je možné pridať manuálne alebo automaticky v závislosti od typu úlohy.
  • Adresa doručenia, vyzdvihnutia a použitia – Niekedy jedna adresa doručenia na zákazke nestačí a v rámci zákazky sú potrebné aj ďalšie adresy, ako napríklad adresa vyzdvihnutia alebo adresa, kde sa bude zariadenie používať. Nová funkcia v HireHop vám umožňuje voliteľne pridať tieto dodatočné adresy alebo ich nechať ako predvolenú adresu doručenia.
  • Vyššia rýchlosť sa zvyšujeHireHop nielenže pridal nové servery, ale tiež optimalizoval systém a vyvinul nové techniky, aby bol už aj tak rýchly softvér ešte rýchlejší. Pri pohľade na to, ako niektorí používatelia klikajú po softvéri bleskovou rýchlosťou, si HireHop uvedomil, že aj zvýšenie rýchlosti o desatinu sekundy pre operáciu je dôležité a dáva používateľovi pocítiť, aký pevný a stabilný je softvér.
  • Ďalšie nové funkcieHireHop pridal mnoho ďalších menších funkcií, ako sú štatistiky príjmov z aktív, viac možností dostupnosti, viac možností a štruktúr spoplatňovania, vďaka čomu sú stránky vhodnejšie pre mobilné zariadenia, nové používateľské oprávnenia, používatelia môžu pre svojich zákazníkov využívať rôzne online platobné integrácie pre každý sklad , odhadované náklady, hromadné úpravy úloh a mnohé ďalšie.

HireHop stále ponúka bezplatnú verziu svojho softvéru, tak prečo ju nezačať používať zadarmo a nezískať bezplatnú ukážku, aby ste videli, prečo na ňu toľko spoločností prechádza.

Creating Documents in HireHop – Documents as PDF and printing

Event Hire Software quote documentsHireHop has a very powerful document engine, enabling you to make professional and amazing looking documents, however even though it is powerful, it is very easy to use.

Documents are all standard HTML, and fully support CSS and JavaScript, even when HireHop converts them to a PDF.

There are numerous standard templates available, and every template can be customised if you are a paying HireHop subscriber.

Document Types

A document will only be available in certain appropriate places in the software, and in certain circumstances, for example a Job Quote document will only appear when you are in a job, and not when in Stock Management or a Project.  Another example is a job invoice document will only appear when an authorised invoice is selected in the Billing tab, so if the invoice is not authorised, the invoice document will not appear.

Document Templates

In Settings->Documents, you can add a new template document or edit existing documents.  All template documents have a padlock icon on the grid row, but if you edit one, it creates a copy as new document.  Template documents (the ones with padlock icons) are fine to delete as you can always easily add them back again.  Documents without the padlock icon are custom documents and cannot be retrieved once you delete them, so it is advised to keep backups.

Editing a Document

HireHop does have an inbuilt HTML editor, however this is very basic and it is recommended to use the „Source“ view as much as possible.

HireHop documents have merge fields which are prefilled with the appropriate data by HireHop when you print, download or email a document.  The list of fields and explanation on how to use them can be found at https://myhirehop.com/modules/docmaker/fields.php.

Interfacing With The API

Instead or as well as using merge fields, documents in HireHop can also talk with the HireHop API, and pull data raw straight from the software.  Please note that this will not work for shared link documents for security reasons.  HireHop documents can also communicate with third party APIs and even load and use JavaScript frameworks.

As an example of a document getting its data using the API, copy the code from the document at https://myhirehop.com/docs/job_info.html, and paste it into a job document.  The output is not very interesting, it is just a dump of data received from the server using the API.

You can also post (send) data in a document, which is what the signature request document does.  Another example is the code below, so when you print or email a quote document, by adding the code below into the quote document, it will automatically create an archive every time the document is opened in a new tab, downloaded as a PDF or emailed as a PDF.

<script>
	// Save the supplying list as a quote once the document has finished loading
	window.onload = function() {
		var http = new XMLHttpRequest(),
		    job_id = document.getElementById("number").textContent,
		    now_str = (new Date()).toLocaleDateString(),
		    params = "job=" + job_id + "&desc=" + encodeURIComponent("Quote sent - " + now_str);
		http.open("POST", "/php_functions/archive_insert.php");
		http.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
		http.send(params);
	}
</script>

Documents as PDFs

HireHop uses two engines to render documents as PDFs, being Chromium, which is used by Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, or WebKit which is the base for the Apple Safari browser.  WebKit is far older and not maintained anymore, and does not support HTML5 as well as Chromium does, however it is a lot faster when creating PDF documents due to its simplicity, so if it looks fine using Webkit, it is advised to that.

Document Stationery

When printing or emailing PDF documents with HireHop, you can add stationery that the document will be overlaid onto.  Stationery is uploaded as PDF files in Depot Management, and so it is different for each depot (including virtual depots).

The stationery pages get added to each applicable page of a document, and the last stationery page is then repeated for all remaining document pages.  As an example, with a one page stationery document, it will be placed behind every page of the document.  If the stationery is a two page PDF, the first page of the stationery will appear behind page one of the document, and the second page behind page two, and all other subsequent document pages.  Stationery can have as many pages as you want.

How webhooks work in HireHop

HireHop can send a message with data to other apps when certain events are triggered within HireHop.  This message is called a webhook which automatically pushes the relevant data to the required location.

WbhooksWhat is a webhook?

A webhook sends/pushes a message, with data attached to the message, when specific things happen in HireHop (an event).  Webhooks are sent via HTTP (calls a web address) and are a way of pushing data to other applications in real-time.  Webhooks deliver the relevant data to specific applications as it happens, meaning the receiving application gets data immediately after the event happens, which is far more efficient and faster than polling for data changes..

HireHop webhooks can be used to communicate directly with other apps or be sent to a connector like Zapier, that can be made to format the data and make any necessary API calls back to HireHop or to another application.

Setting up a webhook

In HireHop, go to „Settings“ then click the „Company settings“ tab and the „Webhooks“ button at the top of the page.  In the popup window, click on the „New“ button and add the URL where the webhook message is to be sent to and select every webhook that you want the URL to respond to.  You can add as many webhooks as you want, but should limit them to only the necessary ones that the specific URL will respond to.

A HireHop webhook will POST data to your URL endpoint as JSON, and will contain the following or similar data.

{
    "time": "2022-03-29 07:50:42",
    "user_id": 1,
    "user_name": "John Smith",
    "user_email": "john@email.com",
    "company_id": 1,
    "export_key": "22u43mrjwe7u",
    "event": "invoice.status.updated",
    "data": { ... },
    "changes": {
        "FIELD_NAME": {
            "from": "old",
            "to": "new"
        }, ...
    }
}

In the above JSON example, the following fields are:

  • time“ is the UTC time and date the webhook was sent.
  • user_id“ is the ID of the user who caused the event to be triggered.
  • user_name“ is their user’s name.
  • company_id“ field is the unique number identifier of the company the user works for.
  • export_key“ is the value of the export key in company settings which can be used as a security check.
  • event“ is the name of the webhook event that was triggered.
  • data“ is the data that appertains to the webhook event.
  • changes“ are the fields that changed, being what they were to what they got changed to.

HireHop will not wait for a response from the called URL or report an HTTP error from calling it.

Example PHP code for a URL endpoint to capture the webhook data would be:

<?php
	// Read the JSON data
	$postdata = file_get_contents('php://input');
	// Convert JSON data to an object
	$data_str = json_decode($postdata);
?>

HireHop Rest API – Príručka Začíname

HireHop je postavený na rozhraní API, čo znamená, že čokoľvek, čo HireHop robí, môžete vykonať aj pomocou rozsiahleho rozhrania API. Všetko, čo potrebujete na prístup k Rest API, je užívateľský token aplikovaný ako GET alebo POST na príslušný koncový bod URL.

API Tokeny

Ak chcete vygenerovať token API, prejdite na stránku „Nastavenia“ a vyberte kartu „Používatelia“. Vyberte alebo vytvorte používateľa a potom, keď je vybraný konkrétny používateľ, kliknite na tlačidlo „Ponuka“ a potom na možnosť „Token API“ a vygenerujte token. Token sa potom zobrazí a možno ho skopírovať do schránky pomocou tlačidla kopírovať.

Token sa stane neplatným, ak zmeníte e-mail alebo heslo vybraného používateľa alebo sa k nemu následne prihlásite. Aby ste tomu zabránili, mali by ste vytvoriť špecializovaného používateľa rozhrania API a z bezpečnostných dôvodov mu poskytnúť príslušné povolenia, čím ho obmedzíte na čokoľvek, na čo nebudete rozhranie API používať.

Z bezpečnostných dôvodov by ste nikdy nemali používať token v kóde JavaScript front-end, mali by ste ho použiť iba na strane servera, pretože ak hacker získa token, môže zmeniť a získať prístup k vašim údajom na HireHop, takže svoj token udržujte v tajnosti. Ak váš token unikne, stačí zmeniť heslo používateľa API a vygenerovať nový token.

Použitie Tokenu

Token by mal byť nastavený ako parameter GET alebo POST, ktorý sa nazýva „token“. Napríklad na načítanie údajov úlohy pre úlohu číslo 52 HireHop zavolá koncový bod API:

https://myhirehop.com/php_functions/job_refresh.php?job=52

Ak chcete volať rovnaký koncový bod pomocou tokenu, adresa URL by bola:

https://myhirehop.com/php_functions/job_refresh.php?job=52&token=dqwejk5GVT65909bHHBN7922pq5hxjm%207hmn

Pamätajte, že pri odovzdávaní tokenu cez GET (parameter adresy URL, ako je uvedené vyššie), musíte token najskôr zakódovať pomocou nástroja, ako je https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder.

Údaje zaúčtovania

Ak chcete vytvoriť alebo upraviť údaje v HireHop , musíte použiť POST. Pri odosielaní údajov by ste mali nastaviť iba polia, ktoré chcete zmeniť, napríklad vytvoriť alebo upraviť úlohu pomocou koncového bodu https://myhirehop.com/php_functions/job_save.php, pričom parameter „job“ nastavte na „0 “ alebo jeho vynechaním vytvoríte novú úlohu, čokoľvek iné upraví príslušné číslo úlohy. Ak chcete upraviť názov spoločnosti v úlohe číslo 52, údaje o príspevku by mali byť:

{
"job" : 52,
"name" : "New Name",
"token" : "dqwejk5GVT65909bHHBN7922pq5hxjm=-7hmn"
}

Koncové body API

Mnohé koncové body API sú zdokumentované v dokumentácii API a mnohé ďalšie treba nasledovať.  Ak chcete vytvoriť koncový bod pre úlohu, v aplikácii HireHop použite sieťovú konzolu prehliadača na kontrolu sieťových volaní a nastavení parametrov. Čoskoro bude zverejnený rozsiahly sprievodca koncovými bodmi URL.

Obmedzenia sadzieb

HireHop umožňuje každému používateľovi 60 žiadostí o pripojenie v priebehu 1 minúty. Ak ich je viac ako 60, vráti sa chyba „Bezpečnostné varovanie, príliš veľa transakcií“ (327).

Cross Domain Fonts CORS – CSS font-face not loading

Many users have created some amazing documents for use in HireHop, utilizing HTML5, JavaScript and CSS functionality.  For these documents users sometimes need a special font that they store on their server, however, sometimes the font doesn’t seem to work in the HireHop document.  The reason for this is because of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions in browsers.

Fonts Not Loading in Documents & Web Pages

Most web browsers do not allow cross-domain requests, this is because of the same origin security policy. The result is that sometimes when using web-fonts from another domain, this can cause errors and the font does not load in the web page (or HireHop documents). Basically, for security reasons, some files are being „flagged“ as not being allowed to be used across different domains by the server that hosts them, so the following typical code might not seem to work:

<style type="text/css">
@font-face {
    font-family: "OpenSans";
    src: url("https://my_server.com/fonts/OpenSans.woff2") format("woff2");
}
html, body{
    font: normal 16px OpenSans, sans-serif;
}
</style>

The Solution

To fix cross-origin restrictions for your fonts, the response from remote server that hosts the font files must include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in the font file.

If you’re using font services like Typekit or Google Fonts, or maybe content delivery networks like BootstrapCDN, CdnJS or JsDelivr to load your prefered fonts, you don’t need to do anything, because the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is already sent in their response header.

Apache

To configure an Apache web server, put the following code into the httpd.conf or .htaccess file.

  1. Add the mime type headers on Apache:
    AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject    .eot
    AddType application/x-font-opentype      .otf
    AddType image/svg+xml                    .svg
    AddType application/x-font-ttf           .ttf
    AddType application/font-woff            .woff
    AddType application/font-woff2           .woff2
    
  2. Enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) on Apache for the mime types:
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
      <FilesMatch ".(eot|otf|svg|ttf|woff|woff2?)$">
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
      </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
    

NGINX

To configure an NGINX web server, put the following code into the /etc/nginx/nginx.conf or your custom /etc/nginx/conf.d/custom.conf file.

  1. Add the mime type headers on NGINX:
    application/vnd.ms-fontobject    eot;
    application/x-font-opentype      otf;
    image/svg+xml                    svg;
    application/x-font-ttf           ttf;
    application/font-woff            woff;
    application/font-woff2           woff2;
    
  2. Enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) on NGINX for the mime types:
    location ~* .(eot|otf|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)$ {
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
    }
    

IIS

To configure the Microsoft IIS, add the following the code to the web.config system.webServer block.

  • Enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) on IIS
    <system.webServer>
      <httpProtocol>
        <customHeaders>
          <add name="access-control-allow-origin" value="*" />
          <add name="access-control-allow-headers" value="content-type" />
        </customHeaders>
      </httpProtocol>
    </system.webServer>
    

PHP

If you can’t change the server settings, you can always use PHP to deliver the font file.

  • Use a server script file rather than a physical font file
    <style type="text/css">
    @font-face {
        font-family: 'OpenSans';
        src: url('https://my_server.com/fonts/OpenSans.php') format('woff2');
    }
    html, body{
        font: normal 16px OpenSans, sans-serif;
    }
    </style>
    
  • How to fix cross-domain @font-face issues with PHP
    <?php
    // fonts.php
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
    header('Content-Type: application/font-woff2');
    echo @file_get_contents('/fonts/OpenSans.woff2');
    ?>

New Updates and Features – Summer 2020


We strive to improve our cloud based hire business software by actively listening to our users and implementing the features that they need. We have worked tirelessly to bring you new features and functionality based on users feedback and needs, that many of our users have been beta testing over the past few months. We look forward to continuing our journey together to make the best software even better!


ACCOUNTS UPDATES

  • Set up multiple accounts packages linked to different depots or virtual depots – As many hire companies operate more than one company in the same depot, or different companies at different depots, and sometimes using different accounting software for different companies or sharing some but not others, etc., HireHop has developed a simple new and unique feature to handle this complex problem.  HireHop has the ability to assign different accounting software company accounts, from Sage 50, Sage Business Cloud, QuickBooks and Xero (with more to come), to different depots or virtual depots.
  • New and improved integrations with Xero and Quickbooks, including live sync functionality – this means that as soon as an invoice, PO or credit note is approved in HireHop it will appear in your accounts package, and payments will come back into HireHop seamlessly. View setup pages for Xero here, and Quickbooks here.
  • New accounts integrations to Sage 50 and Sage Business Cloud.
  • Batch/bulk invoicing that can be forward or backdated. Available from Home-Management-Batch Invoicing, simply choose the jobs you wish to invoice and set the invoice status (draft, awaiting approval or approved) and the date you wish to invoice up-to. Once issued you can even email the invoices off to all the relevant clients at the click of a button.
  • Early returns – a new option has been added to Jobs to ‘Allow early returns’. If this option is selected, an item will be charged up-to the date that it is checked in. For example if you have 2 items on a job for 2 weeks but Item 1 was returned after 1 week, with allow early returns enabled Item 1 would be charged for 1 week and Item 2 for the full 2 weeks. If early returns is disabled, both items are charged for the full 2 weeks.
  • Part invoicing up-to a date on normal and open-ended hires. When creating an invoice simply choose the date you want the invoice to charge up-to. The date can be the current date or in the past or future.
  • Invoices, credit notes and purchase orders can have prefixes, and these prefixes can differ for each accounting package.
  • US sales tax supportHireHop now has the ability to better utilise US sales tax, setting each depot (or virtual depot) to a default rate, with the ability to change that rate or manually enter the tax amount charged.
  • Ledger correction payments when syncing.

GENERAL UPDATES

  • Supplying items can now change charging structure – so if an item is listed as daily, in the supplying list you can change this to a weekly rate for only that item in the supplying list.
  • Locking Jobs – jobs can now be locked in 2 ways to prevent certain job changes. No changes can be made, even in Admin mode, unless the job is unlocked.
    • Manager lock – The manager of the job or an Administrator can unlock the job.
    • Admin Lock – Only the Administrator can unlock the job.
  • Documents available in all supported Languages – If you have customers who speak one of HireHop’s supported languages, you can simply add documents in that language to send to them in their native language.  We also tweaked and did a general cleanup of all template documents, setting page headers, etc.
  • New languages availableHireHop is now available in English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish and Slovak.
  • Extra depot limiting permissions – Users can be set permissions to only see jobs, projects, stock, consumables, packages, services and contacts assigned to their own depot only.  There are also permissions to stop users changing their depot and the depots of jobs, stock, etc.
  • Customer signature capture document – The new ‘Signature Receipt’ document allows users to open the document on any device to be signed by the recipient. Once signed pressing save saves a copy of the document and signature to the files tab of the job, capturing the exact time it was signed and the HireHop user who took the signature. If you don’t see this on your list of documents Printable from a job, it can be added from Home-Settings-Documents-New.
  • Users can add a photo and telephone number for themselves in Settings – Documents can also incorporate these extra fields.
  • Report updates and fixes, including a revamped Invoices to be Exported report.
  • Integration with VehoCheck.
  • Custom fields available on invoices, credit notes and purchase orders.
  • Speed improvements and other bug fixes.

How To Setup HireHop With QuickBooks – HireHop Equipment Rental Software + QuickBooks

QuickBooks Equipment Rental SoftwareHow Do HireHop and QuickBooks Integrate?

HireHop can produce your invoices, credit notes, payments and purchase orders.  HireHop also has an address book that contains customers and suppliers, as well as jobs where the customer is unique and not in the address book.  HireHop also keeps track of what has been paid and credited against invoices, as well as the balance of a customer’s account.

QuickBooks needs these invoices, credit notes, payments, purchases orders and contacts created in HireHop for bookkeeping purposes. With our integration working seamlessly behind the scenes, HireHop tells QuickBooks when they are created or updated so you don’t have to. In turn, HireHop needs to know what payments or credits have been applied in QuickBooks so that it can register invoices as being paid or not.

What Data Does HireHop Send To QuickBooks?

There are two modes to synchronize data between HireHop and QuickBooks – being live or buffered:

  • In live mode, as soon as you create or edit an invoice, credit note, payment, or purchase order, it is immediately sent to QuickBooks.
  • In buffered mode they are all kept in a buffer until such time you which to synchronize data between HireHop and QuickBooks.  Any invoice, credit note, purchase order or payment that fails to sync with QuickBooks in Live Mode will automatically be put into the buffer for a manual sync.  All buffered invoices and credits can be viewed in the Invoices to be Exported report.

HireHop invoices are sent to QuickBooks once the status has been changed to Approved or above.  If an Approved invoice is edited, it is re-sent to be updated in QuickBooks.  The same goes for Purchase Orders, Credit Notes and Payments.

All new contacts used in invoices and purchase orders are automatically sent to QuickBooks from HireHop.

In QuickBooks, an entry in the address book can’t be both a customer and supplier, therefore, as this feature is available in HireHop, when this happens, HireHop will create two entries in the QuickBooks address book, one for the customers address book, and one for the supplier address book.

Once you have synchronized or connected HireHop to QuickBooks, QuickBooks will authorise this connection for 3 months, after which time HireHop will prompt you to reconnect the next time a connection is needed.

What Data Does QuickBooks Send To HireHop?

Contacts are imported from QuickBooks into HireHop in Settings, enabling you to import only the contacts that you need so that your address book doesn’t become cluttered.

When a payment or credit note is applied to an invoice within QuickBooks, they are sent over to HireHop and registered to the corresponding invoice. The invoice status is then automatically marked as having been paid or not.


How To Setup QuickBooks With HireHop

Setup HireHop with QuickBooks

  • In HireHop Settings click the Accounts tab.
  • In the Accounts click the New button on the right of the Accounting Packages table at the bottom of the screen, and a new accounts package window will open.
  • Click the first option that is titled „Integrate with„, and select „QuickBooks„. You can then set prefixes and start numbers for invoices, credit notes and purchase orders. You can also choose to buffer transactions and sync them when you decide, instead of having live and automated updates. Click the Next button to move on.
  • The „Accounts“ page enables you to enter nominal codes and banks accounts.  Click the Synchronize button and HireHop will import all bank accounts and nominal codes from your QuickBooks account.  You should delete all the ones you won’t use in HireHop (you can add them back later). There will be one bank account and two nominal codes in bold, these are your defaults that can be changed.  The defaults are the ones selected when you don’t assign a nominal to an item. Once finished, click Next.
  • The next page is your „Tax codes“, again click the Synchronize button and HireHop will import them from QuickBooks.  Again you can edit and change the defaults from the automatically set ones. Once finished, click Next.
  • Lastly is the „Contacts“ page. You don’t have to import these, but if you do, you can match ones that are already in HireHop,  import others and delete the ones you won’t use.  Once finished click the Save button.

You will now see QuickBooks in the Accounting Packages table and some red flashing „Assign“ buttons.  As HireHop can support multiple accounting packages in the same installation, different ones for individual depots or groups of depots, you have to set which depots use this version of QuickBooks.  Also HireHop has tax and nominal groups, again, these need to be assigned to QuickBooks ones.

  • Click the Assign button next to the „Accounting packages“ table, click on the depot and select „QuickBooks“ and then click the Save button.  If a depot is not set, it will use the default accounting package, if a virtual depot is not set, it will use the parent depot’s accounting package.
  • Click the Assign button next to the „Nominal groups“ table, click on the QuickBooks row and each column to assign a nominal code to a nominal group. Once finished, click the Save button.  Any nominal group not set will resort to the default revenue or expense nominal code.
  • Lastly, click the Assign button next to the „Tax groups“ table, click on the depot rows assigned to QuickBooks and click in each column to assign the appropriate Tax codes to the depot, and then click the Save button.

You have now setup QuickBooks and we are ready to go.
