This article will explain how to import and change the item list so it reflects the item list that you have selected in each of your jobs. This will be useful if you need to change information in your QuickBooks item list and then have the change show up in CLIP for each job. Note: This function is only for the QuickBooks version of CLIP called qCLIPxe.

To start, we will need to gather information from your QuickBooks item list. In QuickBooks, click on the List menu then click Item List. Find the item or items that you have recently changed, and then make sure you have imported that information from QuickBooks into qCLIPxe .
