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 Named
- 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.
- The Field is created and can be viewed in the Accounts Custom Fields and Relationships section of Account Fields.
- Go to Account in your Salesforce and open any account. Here in this tutorial I will open Delphi Chemicals.
- Select QuickBooks1 from the QuickBooks picklist and click on Save.
- Similarly open one more Account in your Salesforce and select QuickBooks2 from the QuickBooks field. In this tutorial I will mark Abbott Insurance as the second Account

- The Sync will start and will update Salesforce Accounts as Customers in QuickBooks and Similarily All the Customers of QuickBooks that don't exist in Salesforce will be created in Salesforce with identity field marked for specific QuickBooks File.
- 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.
