If you are syncing with QuickBooks, employees in QuickBooks will import into SME as Users. It is optional to sync new Users entered in SME to QuickBooks Employees.

'''Syncing with QuickBooks'''
 
+
If you are syncing SME with QuickBooks, your employees in QuickBooks will import into SME as Users. You will not be able to add new users that are technicians directly in SME, but will enter them as Employees in QuickBooks and let them sync to SME. You can add a new user in SME but won't be able to make them a technician.
<h3>Users that import from QuickBooks Employees</h3>
 
The Users that import from QuickBooks can be found in Setup > Users.
 
<br>1) Go to '''Setup''' > '''Users'''
 
<br>2) Click '''Search''' > '''Search Active Users'''

<br>3) in the Search window that opens, select a name and the user record will open
 
<br>The following information imports into the SME User from the QuickBooks Employee:
 
<br>Name
 
<br>Address
 
<br>Phone
 
<br>Email (Maps to SME user Personal Email field)
 
<br>[[File:SMEUserImportedFromQB.png]]
 
<br>
 
<br>'''Note''': If the Employee record is edited in QuickBooks, the SME User record will get updated. For example, if the Address changes in Employee record, the SME User record will get updated on the next sync.
 
<br>'''Note''': If you edit a User Record in SME, the Employee record will not get changed in QuickBooks. However, if the Employee is edited in QB the SME User record will get updated and potentially overwrite the changes made to the User record.
 
<br>
 
<br>Assign Username and Password so the user can log into SME:
 
<br>-- On the Details tab, enter a username and Password. Confirm the password.
 
<br>-- Assign the correct user group to the user. (See the [[User Groups]] page to learn more.
 
 
 
<br>If the User is a Technician, setup the technician info:
 
<br>-- You can check Is Technician to make the SME User a technician. The Technician Settings tab will appear where you will assign their default payroll item and service item. See the [[Labor Editor Defaults]] page to see how those work.
 
<br>--  If the Technician will be logging into SME Mobile, you will need to assign them a '''WebAccess Password''' on the Technician Settings tab and an '''Employee ID''' on the Details tab. Also assign the technician a default warehouse on the Technician Settings tab if applicable. See the [[Warehouses]] page to learn how to setup warehouses and assign to tech.
