Adding and opening the example company in ManagePLUS

This topic shows how to add and open a new company file in ManagePLUS.

ManagePLUS companies correspond 1:1 with QuickBooks companies. Adding a new company in ManagePLUS establishes a "connection" with a specific QuickBooks company; in this case, the Crop Production Records example company.

Adding and opening the example company in ManagePLUS

In QuickBooks:

1.	Start QuickBooks and open the example company, as described in prior sections.

When working with ManagePLUS it's a good idea to have QuickBooks running and the desired company file open there. That lets ManagePLUS access data from QuickBooks much more quickly.

In ManagePLUS:

2.	Start ManagePLUS.

The first time you start ManagePLUS the No Company Open window should appear.

If the No Company Window is not showing, choose File > Open Company... from the main menu.

3.	Click on the Add New Company button in the No Company Open window.

This will open the Connection Wizard, to help you establish a connection between ManagePLUS and the open QuickBooks company.

4.	Follow the instructions in the Connection Wizard to establish a connection and set up the QuickBooks company properly for automatic data access by ManagePLUS.

You'll find a video of all the Connection Wizard steps in the

ManagePLUS Videos & Tutorials Library on our Web site.

On completing the Connection Wizard, ManagePLUS should display a "connected" message.

5.	Click OK to close the "connected" message.

ManagePLUS will open the newly created company file, displaying a blank main window, ready for work.
