3.81. Exported jobs or estimates do not show up in QuickBooks?

I export my finished jobs and or estimates from EstiMate but when I bring up QuickBooks I don't see anything. Where did they go and how can I get them into QuickBooks?

When you use the Export Transactions To QuickBooks function, the transactional data does not automatically go into QuickBooks. EstiMate creates a file at the end of the export wizard that has a name and location specified by you.

Once the file has been saved you must import it into QuickBooks using the import utilities built into QuickBooks. See your QuickBooks documentation for details.

Once you have imported the file you should be able to view the invoices/cash sales you exported from EstiMate.

TRAP: The export file was never given a name. When preparing to save the file to disc make sure to name it something or else the file will not be created and thus you will not be able to import it into QuickBooks.
