8.Your QBI Preferences now need to be set up
NOTE: If instead you are presented with a window stating that one or more of your QBI Preferences previously set needs to be re-selected, click OK and complete the Preferences shown once you click OK
AND ALSO before performing any other QBI actions including mapping/linking, etc again go through all of your QBI Preferences to ensure all required preferences are still correct.
The above can occur in the following situations:
•The AyaNova database was previously used at some point with some QuickBooks database
•Preferences previously set are no longer available
oi.e. the Workorder Status set for when closing a workorder after invoicing is no longer available
oi.e. the QuickBooks item you linked to for the Preference has been set to inactive or deleted
Preferences can also be accessed from Tools -> Preferences and make sure each has something correctly selected before continuing.

10. As the information on the window states, set the status the workorder will be set to once invoiced. <note that AyaNova Workorder Status selected in screenshot below is only an example>

NOTE: A workorder checked to Closed can not be edited or deleted by anyone - this makes sure that no one bills out customers and then deletes or edits the workorder afterwards. Only the AyaNova Administrator can unClose a workorder. Refer to your AyaNova online Help documentation regarding the Closed field in the service workorder for more information.
20. Preferences are now completed
21. Select to open QBI
22. AyaNova QBI will now prompt you to map/link data (i.e. clients, vendors, rates, parts) between your AyaNova database and your QuickBooks database.
This could entail link existing items. This could entail importing from one to the other. This could entail a bit of both.
Refer to this QBI documentation section starting with Mapping & Importing for specifics.
NOTE: You can always change these preferences at any time from within QBI by selecting the menu option Tools -> Preferences and going through the wizard selection of preferences again.
