drop-down menu. For more information about inventory valuation methods, go
to Understanding Inventory Valuation Methods on page 718.
Note
If you are using the Standard Cost inventory valuation method and
you change to use the Average Cost inventory valuation method,
call Eyefinity/OfficeMate at 800.942.5353.
If you selected Intuit QuickBooks as the accounting system in step 2, perform
the following steps; otherwise, go to step 6:
a. From the Export QuickBooks To drop-down menu, select Single
QuickBooks Company or Multiple QuickBooks Companies.
Notes
• If QuickBooks is not already open on the computer on which
you are setting up the General Ledger Interface, open
QuickBooks now.
• If you are using OfficeMate for a single location with a home
office, select Single QuickBooks Company.
• While you can export general ledger transactions to multiple
QuickBooks companies, Eyefinity/OfficeMate does not
recommend it. If you are running a multilocation practice, we
suggest using MAS 90/MAS 200 accounting systems.
• If you selected Multiple QuickBooks Companies, open the main
QuickBooks company. The main company’s chart of accounts
must represent the same accounts used by the other
QuickBooks companies. OfficeMate Home Office uses the
QuickBooks main company’s Chart of Accounts for all
locations. If you later add an account to a company in
QuickBooks, you must add the account to all of your
QuickBooks companies.
b. Click Get Company to select the QuickBooks company that you want to
associate with the General Ledger Interface.
