Account Administrator: How to setup QuickBooks Online Integration for your account
Summary
Solatech Focus users who have the QuickBooks Online
Integration enabled for their account can easily link their Focus
account to their QuickBooks online account. After a few setup items
have been completed, the Account Administrator can begin sending
information to QuickBooks Online from Focus. This knowledge base
article will describe that process.
- QuickBooks
Online Integration is an optional add-on feature. Contact your Site
Administrator or Solatech Sales for additional information.
- QuickBooks Online Integration must be enabled by your Site Administrator before the steps in this article can be completed.
- An active QuickBooks Online account is required.
Step 1: Initial Setup
- While logged in as an Account Administrator (AA), click on Admin from the upper navigational toolbar
- Click on Integrations from the lower navigational toolbar
- Click the button Connect to QuickBooks Online
- On the Intuit Sign In screen, enter your QuickBooks Email/User ID and Password and click Sign In
- On
the next window, you will be asked to select the QuickBooks company you
wish to connect to Solatech Focus (if more than one QuickBooks company
exists)
- Click the Connect button
- You will receive a message that your account is now connected in QuickBooks.
Step 2: Setup Accounts
- Now
that QuickBooks is connected with Focus, you will need to setup your
list of accounts to be used for export. Since the account names need to
match in both places to insure proper import, you will need to refer to
QuickBooks Online for this part of the setup process.
- Navigate to your Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks Online
- Enter the name of each account shown in Solatech Focus to match the account name in QuickBooks Online
- The Default Income Account will be the account that you use to track sales
- The Default Expense Account will be the account that you use to track expenses. This is typically Cost of Goods Sold.
- The
image below is an example of accounts that have been filled in. This is
only an example - your values will vary, based upon your current
QuickBooks Online setup.
- If you do not want to send width and height to QuickBooks, place a check mark to the right of Use Alternate line item description
- When all information has been entered, press Update
Step 3: Setup tax rates, terms and payment methods
All of the items listed below can be accessed by clicking Admin, and selecting Lists
- Sales tax rate setup in Focus will vary, based upon how your sales tax rates are calculated in QuickBooks Online.
- If
you are using automatic tax rate calculations in QuickBooks, sales tax
information in Focus will not be sent to QuickBooks Online. If your
sales tax rates are not entered properly in Solatech Focus however, the
tax total could be different in both systems.
- If you are using
manually entered tax rates in QuickBooks, then the sales tax rates
entered in Focus must match the information in QuickBooks. If sales
tax rates do not match in both systems, QuickBooks export will fail.
- All
Terms that are in QuickBooks Online should also be in Solatch Focus. If
the terms sent from Solatech Focus are entered differently than they
are in QuickBooks Online, then a new Terms item will be added to
QuickBooks.
- All Payment Methods that are in QuickBooks Online
should also be in Solatech Focus. If the Payment Methods sent from
Solatech Focus are entered differently than in QuickBooks Online, then a
new Payment Method will be added to QuickBooks.
