Notes of caution before you begin the entrée.QB installation process:

 

•entrée.QB must be installed on a workstation that already has a working copy of entrée installed and configured on it. The data path settings setup and maintained by entrée are shared by entrée.QB. This point is critical and failure to adhere to it will result in an error message being displayed when attempting to start entrée.QB.

 

•QuickBooks software should already be on the computer that entrée.QB will be installed on.

 

•Before installing and using entrée.QB, please be sure that the numbers from the "Release to GL" in entrée are in balance.  

 

•entrée.QB should not be run until all the configuration changes in this chapter have been implemented.

 

QB-specific configuration changes are system-level changes that will only need to be done once for any given installation of entrée. (A possible exception would be the changes to a given user's entrée User Account.) So if you are installing entrée.QB on a second computer everything may already be configured in entrée to run entrée.QB immediately.

 

It is recommended that you begin using entrée.QB at the start of a new period.

 

Follow these steps to install the entrée.QB add-on module the first time.
