Exporting PixelPoint Data Using PixelAFIExporting DataOnce you have completed all of the steps in the sections above, you are ready to use thePixelPoint QuickBooks Interface to perform an export. This section gives an example of how todo this. Sales data and payroll data are exported separately. If you are tracking payroll data,you will need to perform the process below a second time. The only difference in the stepsbelow will be in step 2, where you must simply select a different tab. Make sure you exportGeneral Journal data before Payroll data. The example below is for the General Journal.1. Open PixelAFI, andselect the tab for the data you want to export — General Journal or Payroll.2. Select the date, and click [Export].3. You will be presented with a journal screen showing the entries that will be exported;select [OK] to export the data.Note: Sales data is exported to a file called "Journal.iif" and Payroll Data (if you areusing the Payroll) is exported to a file called "Timeract.iif".Data is now exported from PixelPoint POS and is ready to be imported into QuickBooks.PageCopyright ParTech, Inc. 2014. All Rights Reserved.05/26/2014
Re-Exporting DataWhen the data for a given date has been exported, the date will be highlighted in green.If you need to perform an export on a date that has already been exported (that is, if you everneed to re-export data), a warning message will display.All previously exported data is deleted when you re-export data (ie. files are wiped clear whenthe re-export process begins). Note that this includes data of other types. When you re-exportsales data, all previous payroll data in Timeract.iif is deleted. When you reexport payroll data,all previous sales data in Journal.iif is deleted.Important: If you are tracking both types of data (general journal and payroll), thenyou must both re-export and re-import each kind of data BEFORE re-exporting dataoftheothertype.PageCopyright ParTech, Inc. 2014.
