Our developers worked with Jonas Accounting™ to determine what they need to use our export.

Caution

Although the Bid, Labor, and Material Exports are available to any licensed user, the Accounting and Custom Exports are only available to users under a maintenance subscription.

If you've allowed your maintenance subscription to expire, you can renew easily by clicking File > Check Authorization and clicking the Renew link.

QB License Activation dialog box - renew link

That link opens the MyOnCenter customer portal where you (or whoever can pay the invoice) may renew your maintenance subscription.

You can also contact Customer Success to discuss renewing your maintenance subscription.

Note

On Center Software does not provide assistance with importing the Budget File into your Accounting package. Accounting packages are very complex and the vendor of your particular Accounting package is best equipped to support it.

To export the budget to Jonas Accounting software,

Click the Exports button on the Bid toolbar
Select Job Budget File

Quick

Click the Options Button next to "Job Budget File" - the Modify Options for Job Budget File dialog box opens
