How do I? | Store Exchange Overview
By which method are you receiving files?
Receive via network file transfer
Notes:
All open windows must be closed before receiving Store Exchange files. If open windows are detected, you will be notified and given a chance to save any pending transactions before continuing.
Only the Server Workstation can run Store Exchange. At a remote store, close all open windows before processing a file received from Headquarters.
There are three general ways in which a mailbag can be received and processed in:
Open or double-click a received file or an e-mail attachment with the .qbt extension
From the Stores menu or the Store Exchange Center, select Receive Files; this option checks for and processes any exchange files found in your default Store Exchange in folder (or from a folder to which you have browsed)
Schedule your Store Exchanges to happen automatically (available only for Intuit Service and Network File Transfer methods)
The process of receiving and processing in mailbags will depend on the Store Exchange method used. If Store Exchange mailbags are waiting in your "in folder' when Point of Sale is started, you are prompted to process them.
