In order to ensure that each income and expense is tracked accordingly, we need to select which Accounts are going to be used for your transactions.
1. Access the Quickbooks tab on the Procurement Settings page.

2. You will need to select an account from the dropdown list for each available account type.
-
Ensure that the account type matches on Quickbooks.

Sending documents from Fohlio to Quickbooks
Note: We do recommend creating a new document (Client Proposal, Client Invoice, or Purchase Order) for testing purposes.
1. Create a new document (ie. a Client Invoice) by clicking on Procurement and then on Create Client Invoice
Note: An existing newly created document could also be used.

2. Click on the ⋮ icon and then select Send to Quickbooks

3. Click on the ⋮ icon and then select View on Quickbooks
Note: The same document will open on Quickbooks

Optional: Linking your Fohlio project to a Quickbooks project
Note: This step is completely optional and it can be skipped if you do not use Projects in Quickbooks.

1. Access the Quickbooks tab on the Procurement Settings page.

2. Next to the Project Name at the top of the screen, you will see that there is the option to select a QBO project.

The projects need to be assigned to the same client/customer in both Fohlio and Quickbooks.
-
In order to have the same client on both platforms, a Client Proposal or Client Invoice needs to be sent to Quickbooks from Fohlio
3. Select one of the projects from your Quickbooks account and then click on Save at the bottom of the page.
