Post subject: | Quickbooks import fails because it says import file is for a different company |
When I try to import my .iif file into QuickBooks I get an error message that says: "You cannot import QuickBooks Pro Timer data for a different company. Please open the correct company file." I have entered the correct company name in every field that asks for it in GetLinked, am I missing something simple? Where does QuickBooks read this information from? Using QuickBooks Premier 2014 and the latest version of PRLink and importing data from a micros 3700 running the 5.4 software. Thank you for your help. |

Thank you for the question. Let us see if we point you in the right direction. The QuickBooks IIF file system is no longer supported by Intuit and its use is discouraged. QuickBooks performs very little (if any) data validation when importing IIF files and accidentally importing a corrupt or incorrectly formatted IIF file can cause corruption in your QuickBooks Company File. Intuit recommends that all third party applications use the QuickBooks Software Development Kit (QBSDK) to transfer data into QuickBooks. To use the QBSDK transfer method GETLinked must be installed on the same computer as your QuickBooks installation. To select the QBSDK method in GETLinked you will need to change the QuickBooks Model you selected on the "Payroll Transfer Data Information" screen:
On the "QuickBooks Payroll Transfer Setup" screen you can import Pay Codes, Employees and Classes from your company file. You will need to assign the QuickBooks Pay Codes and Employee List ID's that you import to the pay codes and employees from your Micros system. Instructions for assigning Pay Codes and Employee Payroll ID's can be found in the "PRLink Setup Instructions" PDF document on our main support page https://getlinked.co/pdf/support. Once you have all of the Pay Codes and Employee Payroll ID's assigned you should be ready to Import and then Transfer Timecards directly to QuickBooks. No IIF files needed! See the "PRLink Payroll Period Usage Instructions" PDF document on the support page for help with the Timecard Import and Transfer Process. Thank you for the post. GetLinked software |
