Functional django application for interacting with the QuickBooks Desktop Webconnector (QBWC).
Find example applications in /examples/.
Install the latest version from github:
python -m pip install git+httsp://github.com/bill-ash/django-books
or from pip using:
python -m pip --upgrade django-books
Two sample apps are included for adding new customers and jobs as well as creating expenses via credit-card charges.
Create a service account which is responsible for communicating with the QBWC.
- Add a method that produces a
.qwcfile that is installed to QBWC - Like an admin? Maybe a profile page for an admin that will spit out a .qwc file?
Abstracting models is difficult. Each application will have it's own unique workflows that depend on business requirements.
Create a model mixin that will add new 'batches' to be added to a ticket queue. The ticket queue is the work to be preformed on the next web connector sync.
Ticket log for syncing QB data with external resources/dashboards is different from importing new records from django.
Heavily inspired by previous attempts at talking to Quick Books desktop with the goal of using python3 and current django version and no redis dependency.

Program guide with detailed outline of all the required endpoints for communicating with the web connector.
Additionally, the forums are somewhat active:
A single application will work on many QB files.
- Associate an app with a specific QB file.
Usernames (service accounts) are associated with specific files (a list of files). Test the authing
