I have a basic export file from a custom application that I would like to import
to QuickBooks using QODBC to  simulate an employee invoicing the company in order
to reimburse that employee for out of pocket expenses.  The file can be exported from the
cutom application in .csv or .xls and has various line items relating to expenses
submitted by different employees.   ex. "Employee name, Expense Description,
GL Account # to Debit, GL Account # to Credit, date, Amount, JodID".  I need
to Debit various GL accounts listed in each line and Credit the Account Payable
GL Account, Payee Employee.  i.e. Simulate receipt of an invoice.  It is possible that the file
contains several line items per employee and also several employees.   I only want
to create one invoice per employee with all their individual line items totaled
so that we can cut one check per employee.

I also need to import a .csv file from the same custom application that can simply
do a General Journal entry.  Ex. GL Account # to Debit (expense account), GL Account
# to Credit("Prepaid credit card account"), Amount, date. 

Can anyone help me understand how I can do this with QODBC or point me to a location
that will help me?  I have looked at the QODBC site but I have little expereince
with SQL and I'm not exactly sure where to start.  In concept, it seems simple
enough: just link to the file with various column headings and map to QB.  As a
first time user, the QODBC initially seems so confusing as many of the posts have SQL queries.  Any help would be much
appreciated.  Thanks.

Best,
Noel

Reimbusements are normally done within "Other Payroll Items"  within the QuickBooks Payroll System.

Unfortunately, payroll entries are not allowed by Intuit in their qbXML SDK and is therefore not available to QODBC.

The alternative is to treat these reimbusements as Bills, see: How do I create Bills?
