+=head1 Usage
+
+=head2 Accessing Admin UI Features
+
+A typical installation will cause the Administrative User Interface Features to 
+become available via the top level menu:
+
+ * Login to the Admin UI
+
+ * Administration
+
+ * Quickbooks
+
+You should then be presented with a menu of the Admin UI features. 
+
+=head2 Generating IIF Files
+
+To generate the IIF files, access the corresponding page from the Admin UI
+Quickbooks Menu (Administration -> Quickbooks -> Generate IIF Files).
+
+You will be presented with a query tool.  Select the query options that you
+would like and submit your query.  Among the query options, you have the option 
+to input a QB transaction number.  This will be the first number that is used 
+when generating the IIF files, and it will be incremented for each sequential
+order in the query.
+
+You will be notified of its success or failure.  The resulting page will:
+
+ * Inform you of the success or failure of the query.
+ * Provide a link to the "results" IIF file (which includes all of the orders
+   found by the query).  Note that this "results" IIf file is overwritten every
+   time a query is run.
+ * Provide a link for each IIF file (one per order).  This can be used as a
+   backup, or for importing one-by-one instead of all at once.
