QuickBooksTM
Interface
Accounting is an important part of
any business, and if you are using QuickBooksTM to keep
your accounting records, Friday Systems, Inc.'s software can
help.
The software keeps its own set of internal accounts in a general
ledger within the database. These internal accounts are built upon
the standards set by the National Independent Automobile Dealers
Association (NIADA) for dealership accounting. You will have the
ability to map or translate each internal account in the software
to a specific account in your QuickBooks program. Once this mapping
or translation of accounts has been set up, the software can then
transfer financial information from the deal screens into your
QuickBooks General Ledger accounts.
Before setting up any of the accounting features of the
software, ensure you have the latest software updates.
You must also have your QuickBooks open with your dealership's
data file before you can begin to use these functions.
Note: You must also be logged into QuickBooks in
single-user mode with administrative privileges in
order to allow Friday Systems, Inc.'s software to make a connection
to QuickBooks! When you first try to make a connection with the
software to QuickBooks, the QuickBooks software will alert you that
another program is trying to access your dealership's accounting
data. Only an administrator can allow a connection to proceed.
No futher accounting interface functions will work until the
administrator allows the software to connect to QuickBooks.
The Friday Systems QuickBooks interface is not recommended for
multi-user QuickBooks. If you must use QuickBooks in a multi-user
environment you must do the following when connecting: 1) All other
QuickBooks users must be out of Quickbooks. 2) QuickBooks on the
local computer must be in Single User mode, using the same company
that Friday Systems's software connects to, before opening the
Friday Systems Accounting Interface.
The steps for setting up the interface are as follows:
- Set up a connection to
QuickBooks
- Map the software's
internal accounts to your QuickBooks accounts
- Post the deal
information from the software to your QuickBooks general ledger
