Introduction: Integrate eCommerce, Part I

====== Introduction to Integration ==========

Integrate eCommerce with: FileMaker, QuickBooks and our website.

*eCommerce uses FileMaker as a back engine.

*Data input into eCommerece go to Contacts File, or Jobs File, which in turn should be used for invoice details.

*Invoices for eCommerce should be created in FileMaker; after every month, all Invoices should be classed by customer and then transferred in one bulk invoice for each individual Customer to QuickBooks. We will need to assign a different Invoice Reference Number (i.e. 10011 in 2002, 200123 in 2004 and we're now up to 34145 - so all eCommerece related invoices should start with a '5' like: 50542?).

*Use QReportBuilder from http://www.qreportbuilder.com/ to combine FileMaker with QB for reporting purposes.

*Use PDM's sql plugin for filemaker pro from
