Set up QuickBooks
This export supports General Journal style accounting, not Invoice accounting.
First, set up a new account in QuickBooks called Passare AR. This will act as a holding account for funds exported from Passare.
In QuickBooks, go to Accounting > Chart of Accounts > New.
Select the settings shown below and save.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Type the account name exactly as written here. It is case-sensitive and must match perfectly to import correctly.
- If you use account numbers in QuickBooks, be sure to fill this in here. If you do not use account numbers, leave this field blank.
If you collect sales tax, make sure your QuickBooks has automatic tax rate turned off.
To do this, go to Taxes > Sales Tax in the left menu. Then select Sales Tax Setting in the top-right.
Click Turn off sales tax.
Choose yes to confirm.
