  • Updated

Integrating with QuickBooks Online

There is a 1:1 connection between each Re-Leased company and the corresponding QuickBooks Online company. Once a Re-Leased company has been connected to a QuickBooks Online company, it cannot be re-connected to any other QuickBooks Online company.

 

Prior to connecting

Set up your QuickBooks Online account, you will need:

  • Tax types;
  • Chart of accounts
  • Products/services
  • Classes at the line item level in QuickBooks Online to track properties (available on Plus & Advanced QuickBooks Online plans)
  • Custom transaction numbers turned OFF in QuickBooks Online (Account & settings > Sales)

 

Connecting 

1. On the settings page, select the company to sync with QuickBooks Online from the drop-down in the top left.

 Scroll down and select Manage Add-ons and Integrations

7. Tax Type Reconciliation

If you have Tax Types in Re-Leased that are not in QuickBooks Online, you will need to reconcile them.

You will have two options:

  1. Archive the Rate: 
    • If you select to Archive the rate it will not be available for use in the future. Existing invoices will continue to show the rate but it cannot be selected for new invoices. If you Archive, you must check the confirmation box to confirm you have agreed to archive the rate(s).
    • If a rate is associated to an invoice or credit note that is paid or voided you must match it to a rate from QuickBooks Online
  2. Replace with a QuickBooks Online rate: 
    • You can replace the Re-Leased rate with a rate from QuickBooks Online. Use the drop-down to see the available list of rates you can select.

Notes: 

  • A QuickBooks Online rate can only be used once. If you select more than one Re-Leased rate to be replaced with the same QuickBooks Online rate, you'll see a validation message to resolve this issue.
  • Group tax rates from QuickBooks Online can't be matched to rates in Re-Leased, only exception is if the QuickBooks Online company had previously been connected to the Re-Leased company with group tax rates and was disconnected then reconnected.
