Before Syncing

​
Be sure to turn off the QuickBooks Online Automatically apply credits setting.

To do so:
  1. Click on the Gear Icon.
  2. Choose Accounts and Settings.
  3. Select Advanced and click the Automation section.
  4. Disable Automatically apply credits.
  5. Click Save and Done.
  • If you utilize Customer Communications within FieldPulse:
    • Turn off your Automatic Triggers linked to Estimate and Invoice records.
    • Disable Notification Settings to prevent customers from receiving updates about all Estimate and Invoice records.

​
Please Note

  • Custom Transaction numbers
    • If turned on in QuickBooks, invoice numbers will follow the FieldPulse numbering sequence.
    • If turned off, invoice numbers will follow whatever numbering is setup in QuickBooks.
  • FieldPulse uses QuickBooks “Shipping Address” as our service address. If only “Billing Address” is filled in in QuickBooks, no address will display on the customer record in FieldPulse.
  • Enable Discounts in your QuickBooks account in order to use discounts on FieldPulse estimates and invoices.

​
Do not sync if…

  • You currently have your QuickBooks synced with another FSM system.
  • You have been using QuickBooks and FieldPulse simultaneously and duplicating efforts (creating estimates/invoices in QuickBooks and FieldPulse prior to syncing).
  • You are using projects in QuickBooks. Contact us to learn more.
  • You do not have a quantity and price in QuickBooks for every line item - the line item will come over as $0 in FieldPulse.
  • You do not have Tax Rate set up in QuickBooks, as FieldPulse pulls tax rates from QuickBooks.
If any of these apply to you, please reach out to support@fieldpulse.com for assistance.

FAQs

Does FieldPulse sync classes for QuickBooks Online? Yes, FieldPulse will sync classes on estimates and invoices for QuickBooks Online. Classes can also exist on individual line items, but we we do not sync these. Can I have my Estimate and Invoice numbers automatically come from QuickBooks Online? Yes, you can. To ensure your invoice and estimate numbers sync directly from QuickBooks Online to FieldPulse, you need to disable Custom Transaction Numbers in your QuickBooks Online settings. To set this up, you’ll need to go into your QuickBooks Online account:
  • Log in to QuickBooks Online.
  • Navigate to your company’s settings.
  • Find the option for Custom Transaction Numbers and make sure it is turned off.
When this setting is off, QuickBooks will automatically assign the next number in its sequence to new estimates and invoices. FieldPulse will then sync and use this same numbering. When QuickBooks Online syncs, do estimates in Draft or Rejected status sync over, or are they only synced when the estimate is Accepted or Completed? Estimates sync to QuickBooks regardless of their status. All estimates, including those that are rejected, lost, or still in draft, will sync over. FieldPulse maps the different estimate statuses to corresponding statuses in QuickBooks:
  • FieldPulse Status: Draft, Estimate, Sent
    • QuickBooks Status: Pending
  • FieldPulse Status: Accepted, Scheduled, Ready, Completed
    • QuickBooks Status: Accepted
  • FieldPulse Status: Rejected
    • QuickBooks Status: Declined
  • FieldPulse Status: Lost
    • QuickBooks Status: Closed
Do tips sync to QuickBooks Online? Tips do not sync through the QBO integration. If a payment exceeds the invoice total due to a tip, QBO may create a negative balance on the record. To avoid sync issues, tips should be tracked separately from invoice payments. Does FieldPulse support Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES)? Yes, FieldPulse supports QuickBooks Online’s Intuit Enterprise Suite (IES).
