Lesson #137
Setup – System Preferences function
Tools System Preferences
Choose which types of MR9 emails to log into the system and for how long. Set up your QuickBooks Integrator so you can import MR9 data directly into QuickBooks. Enter your company contact information so other MR9 users can share jobs with you.
Email Log
Emails sent from MR9 are automatically logged in the system by default. Because all attachment files are stored as well when MR9 saves emails in the Email Log, this adds to your repository size and could result in additional repository storage charges.
Reduce the load on your repository by designating which types of MR9 emails you want to keep track of and how long you want to store them.
QuickBooks
Enter the information needed for integrating MR9 data into your QuickBooks program.
If you are using the QuickBooks Desktop edition, enter:
- User ID and password
- IP or URL of workstation/server where your QuickBooks is installed
- Open port in your firewall for forwarding traffic to your QuickBooks computer
Once you have your settings input, you can check that the port is open so you can use QuickBooks with MR9. You have another set-up step that involves downloading a free remote connector application from QuickBooks and setting it up to enable secure remote access to your QuickBooks.
If you subscribe to QuickBooks online, you set up an Intuit developer account then enter your credentials here.
After entering your QuickBooks information for either edition, you check that MR9 can communicate with your QuickBooks. Complete setup instructions for both editions — including downloading and installing the remote connector, setting up a developer account, and checking your connection — are in the MR9 user guide.
TL;DR: Set parameters for your Email Log and enter required information for importing MR9 data directly into QuickBooks. Check that MR9 and QuickBooks can communicate.
