The Quick Bid Standard Material Export is a generic export template that can be imported into many Accounting packages.

If you are using AccuBuild® or Maestro*, there are dedicated exports for those Accounting packages, see Related Articles for more information.

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 Materials Export Files into your Accounting package. Accounting packages are very complex and the vendor of your particular Accounting package is best equipped to support it.

Quick Bid Exports dialog box with Job Material export selected

Select Job Material File

Click the Options button - the Modify Options for Job Materials Export dialog displays
