IIF Import 2018

I am extremely new to IIF files. I've watched as many YouTube videos as I could find and have looked through QB Help. I downloaded the ToolKit and and have read through it. I used one of the templates to add a few journal entries, created a test company, and uploaded the IIF file. However, I'm just looking for something that explains the coding better. I know there are header files and such in the toolkit, but they aren't very explanatory or detailed. Has anyone found anything that really breaks down the IIF file and how it's created and why certain headers are used, etc.?

IIF Import 2018

Welcome and thanks for dropping by the Community, @susan_akira.

 

To know more about the breakdown of the IIF files and why certain headers are used, I suggest posting this question to our Intuit Developers Community. It is a separate forum where product experts, engineers, and fellow developers share insights regarding software integration and application concerns.

 

Here’s how: 

 

  1. Visit: https://help.developer.intuit.com/s/.
  2. On the Intuit Developer page, hover your mouse cursor to API Docs & Tools.
  3. Go to QuickBooks Desktop.
