QUESTION
I made a program that connects to QuickBooks to automate a task. And it relies on QBFC13 so how can I make sure that QBFC13 is installed before installing my program. Or is there a way to install it first?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-18 at 16:26Not familiar with QBFC13 but why not use WiX and WiX Bootstrapper to build your installs and chain them together?
I just looked up this product and it looks like Intuit builds merge modules (MSM) for just your scenario. After installer their SDK I would find the specific merge module and then include that in your install.
QUESTION
I am new to software development in general. My skills are probably best described as intermediate. I have done a lot of programming, but I have not mastered any particular language. I have much studying to do to learn all the skills necessary for this.
I want to develop a desktop accounting application like PeachTree or QuickBooks. All data is hosted on the local machine and there is no need for a web server. At some point, I may want to be able to host a local server on a network and access the app through clients on other computers. Also, there is no need to have multiple users access the same database at the same time. Both of these conditions may change in the future but are not necessary for me to address at this time (I don't believe).
Years ago, I built an accounting application using Microsoft Access (not sure if that would be considered an application) with a split database design. The entire database is contained within two files: mydb and mydb_be (front and back end). I have not used those other accounting apps in many years, but as I recall, the data was stored in either a single file or a single directory, but certainly NOT in a central repository nested deep within the database program's default file structure and data directory like it is with Postgres (and probably many/all of the others) with names like '16254' instead of 'MyBiz'.
In the case of my MS Access app, I can move, copy and delete mydb using the typical OS commands like cut/paste/delete and drag and drop. There is nothing to export or import. Again, as I recall, it was something similar with the commercial applications.
I may have 15 different databases, each for a different entity. I may want to change file structures for my "accounting" directory or copy to a usb drive and move it to another computer, open it there, or maybe back up to an external drive. The directory for each entity may contain files or folders (e.g. a directory for taxes) other than the database files and they all need to be kept together. I cannot expect my target users (maybe 10+ years old) to perform such database management tasks. Among other things, the app is designed to teach children how to do accounting, not database management.
So, the question is, is there a way to store individual Postgres databases in different locations in a packaged way where all the necessary data for an individual database is stored in a single file (like MS Access) or in a single directory, such that I can move the files around and open them from my application? In other words, clicking open file would allow me to navigate to ~/myaccounting/entity1/entity1db.file, or /entity2/entity2.file, or perhaps a directory instead of a file. Maybe my file extension would be 'kac' so I would double click on a file with the .kac extension to launch the app.
I plan to use PostgreSQL and Python to develop an interactive console app to start. Once I have proven the concept, I will develop the GUI.
Clearly, there are many concepts I haven't yet learned. I feel like I need to understand this before I get to deep into my application.
EDIT And if not, what else should I look into (thanks Adrian Klaver)? What keywords should I search or what concepts should I study?
Thanks for the help.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-27 at 22:15Is it possible to store individual PostgreSQL databases in individual files
No. Postgres is designed to be a powerful reliable centralized database server for the enterprise. Postgres was never intended to be bundled within a desktop app.
Embedded databaseWhat you are looking for is called an embedded database.
H2 Database Engine is one such product. H2 is a relational database, driven by SQL. Being compatible with Postgres is one of its goals. Built in pure Java, so it can run on many kinds of host operating systems. H2 can be run in embedded mode for access only by your app, or in server mode to accept connections from various apps simultaneously.
A comment mentioned SQLite. While that product is an embedded database, be aware that it is indeed “lite”. It’s creator intended the product to be a step up from simple files, not as a competitor to powerful database engines… to quote: “SQLite is not a replacement for PostgreSQL. SQLite is a replacement for fopen()” (source). While many people have done many projects successfully with SQLite, asking SQLite to support a full accounting package may be asking too much. Research carefully if you are considering this product.
CloudAnother avenue is to use the Cloud. Many companies have started offering database as a service. Often called a “managed database” as you do not have full super user access for obvious security reasons, and because the service company handles back-ups, failover, software updates, and so on. Vendors include Digital Ocean, Heroku, Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and more.
Postgres and MySQL are common offerings, with some offering Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle.
If you can reasonably expect users to have an internet connection while using your product, this might be viable. But I hesitate to recommend this route. While the internet connection need not have large throughput for your purpose, the internet connection does need to be reliable. But “reliable” and “internet connection” do not often go hand-in-hand.
In using a DBaaS, you would have to code your database to be very robust in the face of interrupted network access. Of course your should always do that. But in practice most of us get lax in that area, especially if we can count on very reliable connections. Such as when the database server is local to the same machine, or when the database server is connected to an app server nearby in a server room.
Another issue is that having different customers share a single database server raises problems of multitenancy.
Further discussion is really off-topic for Stack Overflow. I suggest two sister sites, Database Administrators Stack Exchange, and Software Recommendations Stack Exchange.

QUESTION
how can I have a page in my app in which I ask my clients to authorize my app to have access to my clients quickbooks?
I m ok to connect to quickbooks in my app but I add manually clients credentials. I would like to have template in my Django app that handle this. My client will use this template to authorize my app to have access to QBO?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-12 at 19:48QuickBooks AuthClient has method get_authorization_url()
which can generate auth URL for your app. Having this URL, you can redirect user to QuickBooks OAuth flow, which will redirect back to your web-site (URL you defined in settings) with auth_code
as GET variable in URL. You can convert it to auth_token
and save it to database.

QUESTION
I'm using django and trying to integrate it with quickbooks online through python-quickbooks package and already did so and it works fine, but the problem is I don't want to store the tokens in the request session because I'm trying to access them outside the views, to be exact I'm trying to send an invoice each time an invoice(invoice model from django) object was made I want to send one to quickbooks and I'm doing this through django signals but I can't access the session from the signals so where is the best place to store them on the server side?
thanks in advance.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-08 at 13:53You can create new Django model just for your integration and query it when you need to get tokens. Especially it can be useful if you plan to have multiple integrations, you can add relation from object (which is related to signal) to "integration object".
QUESTION
good morning,
I've recently wrote a programme to pull transaction data from stripe's API and save as a .CSV file so i can import all transactions into QuickBooks very easily. It works well and I'm very happy with it. However every time I run it, it will grab every transaction which i will then have to go through and delete all duplicate data in QuickBooks. What would be the best approach to make the programme only grab the newest transactions? would it be to give python a date to work from, or would it be to check if the data is already in the .CSV file and remove it?
this is my code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jan-30 at 11:30There are a couple of ways to do this based on how you have set up your extraction system.
- Every time you pull data, find and store the latest transaction date in a file or table or elsewhere. For every subsequent API call, send that date so the API knows to filter out transactions that are <= that date. Make sure you update the stored latest transaction date every time the API runs.
- If you cannot have persistent storage like above, your API query can also go into QuickBooks and get the latest transaction date before it queries Stripe. In the same way as point 1 above, you just the latest transaction date to do a filter.
- Similar to point 2, instead of querying QuickBooks, your API could query your latest CSV file for the latest transaction date (if you are storing these CSV files somewhere).

I'm trying to build a node service to pull information from Quickbooks Desktop. The most logical route seems to be the Quickbooks Desktop Web Connector.

From the client side, I have been trying to connect to this nodejs service, but QBWC almost immediately stops responding. This is the full log for attempting to add my connection:

I tried rolling my own XML connection file based on the spec but I eventually copy-pasta'd the spec and just swapped out the URLs. The only file I can get any log after the variable line for is the Quickbooks test one.
I feel like if I can fix logging, I can at least see what the problem is so I have something to work with. I'm using Quickbooks Pro 2021 if that helps.
Thanks for reading.
