Thanks to our friends over at onlineaccounting.com, we received a huge education on ways to improve our QuickBooks export format. In other words, we just got schooled by the women who wrote the book on using QuickBooks properly. If you use QuickBooks for processing payroll or want to easily create invoices from your time tracking data, you are going to love this!
Our QuickBooks integration has been rewritten as an Add-on, and can now be found in the Add-ons section of your Freelancer, Business, or Platinum TSheets account. To get started, open the My Account window from the main TSheets interface, and click on the Add-ons tab. Scroll down and locate the QuickBooks Add-on, and click on Install. Upon doing this, another window will open up where you’ll be presented with an array of configuration options.
Some of the items you’ll get a chance to configure as part of the Add-on are:
- Company Create Time - This is a unique code related to your installation of QuickBooks, and is required in order to import time into it.
- Payroll Items - TSheets now allows you to enter your QuickBooks Payroll Items into TSheets, and map a default one to each of your employees! This is going to make processing payroll much more like a checkup as opposed to a root canal.
- Customer / Job / Task Mapping - Yes, you can have your TSheets time mapped directly to your Customers, Jobs, and Tasks in QuickBooks. It’s just a matter of naming your job/project codes so they match your QuickBooks entries.
- Billable Job Codes - That’s right, you can now mark a job/project code as billable or not. If you export time that was tracked against a billable job code, it will set the billable flag so that it can be an invoice item once it’s imported into QuickBooks.
- Define Payroll Schedule - You can define your payroll schedule (weekly, biweekly, twice a month, monthly) so that you don’t have to do manual calculations when pulling reports. Just select the pay period with the correct period end date and you’re ready to go.
Here are a few images so you can get a feel for how easy this is. Check it out yourself via a free trial account, we think you’ll be pleased!
