Modified on Sat, 25 Jul at 11:17 PM

Overview

The QQube Configuration Wizard selects the data models most commonly used for your type of business. You can add or remove models at any time from the QQube Configuration Tool.

Load only the data models you need

Each QQube data model is self-contained. Loading unnecessary models increases synchronization time and database storage without improving the models you actually use.

How to choose data models

Select models according to the reports and analytics you need. One data model does not need to be loaded simply because another model is selected.

  • The Inventory data model already includes related sales, purchasing, and general ledger information.
  • If you need only financial summary reports, you do not need to load General Ledger Detail.
  • The 52/53 Tax Year Profit and Loss model is intended for businesses that report using a 52- or 53-week fiscal calendar.

QQube extracts QuickBooks data through the Intuit SDK and qbXML interfaces. It does not connect directly to the QuickBooks database. Because these interfaces control how data is requested and returned, selecting fewer unnecessary models can materially reduce synchronization time.

Legacy data models still available

QQube Version 10 introduced more efficient replacements for four Version 7.x data models. The earlier models remain available for customers who still need them.
