Add Source and Destination Components
To get started, add a new ADO.NET Source control and a new QuickBooks POS Destination control to the data flow task.

When you are connecting to a local QuickBooks instance, you do not need to set any connection properties.
Requests are made to QuickBooks POS through the Remote Connector. The Remote Connector runs on the same machine as QuickBooks POS and accepts connections through a lightweight, embedded Web server. The server supports SSL/TLS, enabling users to connect securely from remote machines.
The first time you connect, you will need to authorize the Remote Connector with QuickBooks POS. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide.
Configure the QuickBooks POS Destination
In the destination component Connection Manager, define mappings from the SQL Server source table into the QuickBooks POS destination table and the action you want to perform on the QuickBooks POS data. In this article, you will insert Customers entities to QuickBooks POS.
