How It Works

The following data is downloaded from QuickBooks Desktop:

• Chart of Accounts -> G/L Accounts
• Sales Tax Items -> Tax Codes
• Sales Tax Groups -> Tax Schedules
• Payment Terms -> Terms
• Price Levels -> Customer Types
• Sales Reps -> Sales Persons
• Customers
  • ListID -> Customer Number
  • Customer Name -> Search Name
  • Company Name - This value is not synced. QuickBooks Desktop uses this for display purposes only. When creating sales orders in QuickBooks Desktop it uses the first line from the Bill To Address information for the company name. Because of this we map the Bill To Address information to our customer address fields.
