Quick Books Integration

[aaron]

How does MS Projects integrate with Quick Books for invoicing?
How will the Budjet and Progress reports integrate to generate progress
billing invoices?
How will the asset allocation per job integrate with Quick Books Paychecks
to track job costing?

I appreciate your help

Try posting to the Developer News Group

I know you can access a Quick Books files, they are ODBC compliant.
However, I think you are going to need a custom interface to make this work
properly. A quick look in the VBA object browser does not show a reference to
Quicken, QuickBooks, or Intuit. You may need to use a tool like Visual
Studio. Just the nature of your question prompts me to think this has been
donw by someone out there already... it's a good idea, esepcially for a
smaller company.

Again, if you repost to the sister group for developer perhaps someone will
bite.

Project Server might be useful for you as well. They also have a sister
group to this one.

Saw your posting this morning, waited to see if someone else had
experience with Project and Quickbooks. Since no one else has
responded, I'm guessing that they aren't particularly compatible. You
might be able to export data from project in one of the standard file
formats, then import it into Quickbooks, but I doubt you'll get what
you want. Project is NOT accounting software, and is no where near
accurate enough cost-wise to use for invoicing or paying invoices. You
will need some sort of more accurate software to do this, and it won't
be able to do it based entirely on Project's cost fields. Just not
intended to do that.

Hope this helps in your world.

Thank you for your response Jim,
I am inerested to know if I am asking too much from MS Project.
We are a welding company with 10 welders and 3 admin staff. We do all types
of jobs that range from 1/2 hr to timelines that are measured in weeks. We
want a server based program that will track cost projected and actual; as
detailed as each man hour specific to that man. Along with all the other
things that a project management program will provide.
Please advise
Thanks,
