Vantagepoint.
Prerequisites:

Vantagepoint Front Office Package installed and activated.
- You must have created an Intuit developer account.
To create an Intuit app for

Add URI link.

In the
Redirect URI 2 field, enter the following
Vantagepoint sandbox URI:

The entry that you make in this field is case sensitive.
Unsecured HTTP redirect URIs are allowed only for sandbox environments. For live systems you must run

-
Click

-
If you have multiple sandbox environments, click the
Add URI link again and add a redirect URL for another sandbox environment.
