There are several screens in LubeSoft® that must be set up correctly in order to create the QuickBooks Online export files. Follow the instructions below. If you are using QuickBooks Pro, please refer to the article Setting Up LubeSoft® to Use with QuickBooks Pro. If you have any questions about the setups, call ISI Support.
For a list of the account numbers currently set up in LubeSoft® , print the General Ledger Accounts Report (1-6-1-5). If there are any account numbers you wish to use in LubeSoft® that are not on this list, you need to add them in Set Up General Ledger Accounts (1-6-1-4).
You also need to print an Account List (1-6-1-8). Any account number with the word FIX beside it does not exist in LubeSoft® . The category, coupon, discount, or credit card either needs to be updated with the correct account number, or the account number needs to be added in Set Up General Ledger Accounts (1-6-1-4).
The following are lists of common account ranges used for various types of G/L accounts and common account numbers used in LubeSoft® setups. Refer to the Default Chart of Accounts for a full list. You do not have to use the default account numbers.
