Video [16 min] How to import TATEMS Work Orders Into Quickbooks

In the video below I show you how to use the custom spreadsheet I created called:

120. TATEMSWorkOrdersShortDescPartsAndLaborDescriptionInSingleColumnForQuickbooksImport

You can find it here:

TATEMS Fleet Maintenance Software Custom Spreadsheets 

You can use it to import Work Orders you created in TATEMS into Quickbooks using a 3rd party tool called Zed Axis .   (They have a free 3o day trial and the cost is under $200 for Zed Axis)

Here are the steps to Import from TATEMS Fleet Maintenance Software To Quickbooks.

  1. Create or Edit Lists in Quickbooks so that you have these 3: Work Order, Parts and Labor (you only need to do this one time)
  2. Open the custom spreadsheet and link if to your TATEMS data file (you only need to do this one time as long as you save the spreadsheet)
  3. Filter the list of work orders in Excel using the Date Completed Field
  4. Copy and paste the invoices including the row with the header names from the list on sheet 1 to Sheet 2 in Excel
  5. Save the spreadsheet but leave it open.
  6. Make sure Quickbooks is open using the Quickbooks  Company file you want to use.
  7. Create a Custom Invoice Layout that adds the “Other” Field In Quickbooks. (This is to display the Equipment Number on the Invoice) and set it as default.  (you only do this once but may need to set it as default each time if you use a different default )
  8. Open Zed Axis and choose Quickbooks Desktop and click the Connect button to connect to the currently open Quickbooks company file
  9. Click the Import Tab in Zed Axis and link to the Excel File
  10. Choose Sheet 2
  11. Create or choose a Mapping Template of the Fields to Map from the Excel Spreadsheet to Quickbooks (You can import the template I already created into Zex Axis.  Right click and Save  http:///pchelpltd.com/tatemsdl/download/TATEMSImportMappingForZedAxis.xml  Then click on the Choose Mapping Dropdown->Import Mapping.  The template only needs to be created or imported once and then can be reused in future imports )
  12. On Import Options Choose your preference “If Already exists” you can choose for example “Skip” to skip importing invoices that have already exist with the same invoice number inside Quickbooks .
  13. If all your invoices that you want imported are selected in the list then click the import button and the process will show you the status until it’s completed.

As noted above many of these steps only have to be completed one time. 

If you are current on your TATEMS support and version upgrades and you need any further customization on this spreadsheet that pulls data from TATEMS and I can get it created for you.

 

All The Best!

NEW Install Software Here! And the only one that works with Windows version XP sp3 through Windows 10/11 32 bit or 64-bit versions!!

This version also works if you have Office 2007 through 2019  or Office 365 installed on your computer. (If running Office 2016 or 2019 or 365 it is preferred that you use the Office 32-bit version like 99% of people. TATEMS has also been tested on computers running Office 365 64-bit and it has worked fine in our testing but… Full disclosure,  we have seen a couple of clients where the Office 64-bit version caused conflicts and they needed to revert back to the 32-bit version of Office or Office 365 in order to run TATEMS.)

The file below is TATEMS Version 4.6.30.017 released Dec 5, 2022 and is approx 140 MB in size (***If you are a current owner make sure you are eligible for this version so that you can get a new registration key if needed. If you a trying TATEMS out for the first time you can download and install your free trial now)

Always make sure you make a backup copy of your data before updating.

The data file to backup is called

TATEMS2005be.mdb and is normally located in the:

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005

Folder. (It might also be on a network drive if you are networked. You can see the data file you are accessing before you update by clicking on Tools->Networking)

You can just right click on the file and choose copy and then paste it back into the same folder or another folder to create a backup copy.

There is also a backup feature in TATEMS 2005 and TATEMS 20/20 if you go to File->Backup and Compact Data

Make sure TATEMS is closed and then after downloading the file you can double-click it to unzip the files:

into:

C:\Program Files\TATEMS 2005

If you are UPDATING TATEMS on a NETWORK you will need to re-link to the data file after the update by going to

“Tools->Networking” from within TATEMS

If you go to Tools ->Networking before updating you will be able to see where the data file is located. Write down the path and then use that information after the update to re-link to the data file.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!  You should always update TATEMS on every workstation on your network, one after another, not at the exact same time… and don’t allow any users to use an old version after an update has been done on any workstation on the network. It will cause data to not update or display properly!!

If you need to renew your support and version upgrades for your TATEMS licenses you can get them here:

http://tatems.com/extendsupportandversionupgrades.cfm (not the update link this is the link to purchase a renewal)

If you are not ready to update your entire company to the latest version you can find previous updates here:

Work Orders Parts and Labor update

We released a new version 4.4.04b of TATEMS on June 19th 2013.

We have released several new versions over the past couple of months starting with version 4.4.03 released on May 3rd 2013.

In the 2 minute video below I show you how we have updated the Parts and Labor screens so that you will see what data you missed if you did not fill everything in.

Just In case you can’t see the video here is a description:

While you have the Work Orders screen open you click on the Labor Completed Tab

Work Order Labor Completed tab and Click here to add Labor button Work Order Labor Completed tab and Click here to add Labor button

Work Order Labor Completed tab and Click here to add Labor button

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and then click the dropdown to choose an employee without entering a number of units (hours) or a descriptionAdding Work Order Labor without adding hours and description screenshot

Adding Work Order Labor without adding hours and description

 

Then click on either the Add Labor to Work Order button or the Save and Close button and you will see a message telling you what data is missing,

Work Order Labor completed pop up message telling you what info is missing screen shot

Work Order Labor completed pop up message telling you what info is missing

If you click OK you will be able to go back and correct the entry, if you click cancel after clicking on the Add Labor you will be taken back to the Labor for Current Work Order Screen with and the data you previously entered will still be there.  If you click cancel after clicking Add Labor To Work Order you will be brought back to the Labor for Current Work Order Screen but all your data will be removed and you can start over.

If you click OK after you click the Save & Close button then you will likewise be brought back to the Labor for Current Work Order screen to correct your mistake. But if you click the Cancel button after clicking Save & Close the data will not be saved and the Labor For Current Work Order screen will simply close.

I hope this feature is helpful for you.

All The Best!
