To enter QuickBooks Online Exporter settings

  • On the QuickBooks Online Edition Manager page, on the Settings tab, enter the appropriate settings, and then click Update.

General settings

  • Account is an account receivable to which invoices will be exported. It is a required setting, so you will not start exporting if this field is empty.

  • Service Account is an income account, such as Services or Sales, to which the income will be reported. It is a required setting, so you will not start exporting if this field is empty.

  • Vendor Account is an account in QuickBooks to which vendor bills will be exported.

  • Retail Customer is a customer in QuickBooks to which invoices of ReconPro retail clients will be exported. If you often export invoices created for many retail clients in ReconPro, it is a useful option to avoid the creation of multiple one-time customers in QuickBooks.

  • Retail Class lets you define a class that will be automatically assigned to exported invoices that were created for ReconPro retail clients.

  • Use Tax Services defines whether “tax services” (ReconPro services of the Percentage price type with the selected Is Tax check box) should be included in the exported invoice. You can select the Include Tax Services option if you want invoice tax to be calculated in ReconPro.

  • Export Payments allows exporting all payments for all ReconPro invoices (and thus will overwrite any payments that may be recorded manually in the QBO company file).

  • Treat Warnings As Errors doesn’t allow exporting until the issue which caused the warning is solved.

  • Overwrite existing invoices lets you update invoices that have already been exported to QuickBooks. In Back Office, you must change invoice status to Draft, make appropriate changes or corrections, change invoice status to Approved, and then export it again with the Overwrite Existing Invoices check box selected.

Important! If multiple users need to work with QuickBooks Online Exporter, we recommend sharing the same QuickBooks user account by multiple users. The thing is that QuickBooks Online SDK doesn’t allow multiple QuickBooks users with different email addresses to connect at the same time. To avoid the situation when one user must disconnect to let another user connect, all users can connect QuickBooks Online Exporter to QuickBooks Online under the same user account with the same email address.

Note You may need to disconnect from QuickBooks and then re-establish the connection every 6 months after getting the Unauthorized-401 error.
