Salesforce QuickBooks Integration with Multiple QuickBooks File

  • To integrate multiple QuickBooks with Salesforce using DBSync we need to create multiple profiles in DBSync and define identity field in each Salesforce Object we require in integration.
  • In this Demo I will show how different Salesforce Accounts are integrating with different QuickBooks Instances. Similarly the integration shown will also demonstrate each new Account created using QuickBooks Customer will be marked for specific QuickBooks Instances. So the integration flow will be Bi-Directional for Account to Customer.
  • I have created 2 profiles in DBSync namely
    • SalesforceQuickBooks1
    • SalesforceQuickBooks2

  • Go to your Salesforce and Open Setup ? Customize ? Account ? Fields and click on New button in Account Custom Field and Relationships.

  • Select Picklist Option button and click on Next.

  • Enter the field label, enter list of values for picklist, in this demo I am using 2 values as "QuickBooks1" and "QuickBooks2". Select all the check boxes and click on Next.

  • In the Next Screen, select the Profiles you want to make field visible and click on Next.

  • On Add to Page Layout, select the page layout you want to add the fields to and click on Save button to save and create the custom fields.

  • That's how DBSync handles Multiple QuickBooks file or instance. One thing to keep in mind before following this step is you need different DBSync QuickBooks Licenses if you are using more than one QuickBooks file. You can also configure each Profile in separate QuickBooks Web Connector instances, if you are running QuickBooks on more than one machine.
