Communicates from ServiceMonster to export invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online, allowing you to choose to export all eligible invoices and payments or select the ones you wish to export based on certain criteria (batches). This gives you a way to export only paid invoices, and applies exported payments to the exported invoices within QuickBooks Online.
It also exports products and services used on the exported invoices, and exports Sales Tax items used on the exported invoices into QuickBooks Online.
What are the limitations?
It is unable to apply exported payments to invoices in QuickBooks that were not set up by the QuickBooks Online Export.
It is also unable to apply exported payments to exported invoices that have been overpaid in ServiceMonster. (Payments will export into QuickBooks as an unapplied credit for that customer, which can then be applied manually to their outstanding invoices)
What are the System Requirements?
QuickBooks Online versions: Simple Start, Essentials, or Plus, and Broadband internet connection (DSL, Cable, etc.)

Next, select from the following drop-down menus:
When does your current tax period start?

When did you start collecting sales tax for this agency?
Once that’s done, click ‘Next.’
Sales tax is now set up! Be sure to click ‘Got It.’
During set-up, keep your TAX RATE at 0.0%.

Click ‘Sales’ in the left-hand column.
Click on ‘Products & Services’ in the upper row.
Click the blue ‘Edit’ button by any product or service that needs to be taxable.
