Requirements:

• python 3.4 (Tested on 3.4.2)
• pip

git clone https://github.com/royendgel/django-quickbooks.git

pip install -r requirements.txt

python manage.py migrate

python initialize.py

python manage.py runserver

Note : Remember if you are using mac/linux and you are trying this with virualbox/VM. Change your server to 0.0.0.0:8000

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8000/quickbooks/get-company-file open that file in your text editor and edit your server url. or better edit in views : get_company_file

def get_company_file(request):
    response = HttpResponse(generate_qbc_file(), content_type='text/xml')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="quickbooksconnector.qwc"'
    return response

change generate_qbc_file() to something like this generate_qbc_file(app_url="http://192.168.1.20/quickbooks/") remember the trailing slash at quickbooks/.

run that file on the computer that have quickbooks & webconnector installed.

Then finally enter the password for the company file. as password enter kickstart

Currently if you start as described above with intialize.py it will read and store data as xml in your db. This are the tested queries read:

• Customer
• Bill
• Account
• Check
• Account
• Estimate
• Invoice
• ReceivePayment
• Vendor
• ToDo

Need to be done (Write new and/or modified records back to quickbooks) :

• Customer
• Bill
• Account
• Check
• Account
• Estimate
• Invoice
• ReceivePayment
• Vendor
• ToDo

More things:

• Time stamped so I can ask for only changed or added records
• Irritation for big company files
• Advanced queries(Not really I don't see why for now)
