Quickbooks Integration

The QuickBooks integration allows users to create customers and generate invoices directly within the Labii platform.

Overview

QuickBooks is a powerful accounting software that streamlines financial management for businesses of all sizes, offering features like invoicing, expense tracking, and financial reporting. In Labii, the QuickBooks integration enhances this functionality by allowing users to create customers and generate invoices directly within the Labii platform. This seamless connection simplifies workflow, eliminates duplicate data entry, and ensures that financial records are always up-to-date, making it easier for businesses to manage their accounting and customer relationships efficiently.

Configuration

To connect your QuickBooks account with Labii, you need to provide your realmID, which is your company ID. You can find the realmID by navigating to Settings -> Subscriptions and Billing in QuickBooks.

The realmID for the following columns needs to be updated:

  1. Accounts -> Quickbooks Customer Id

  2. Charts of Accounts -> Quickbooks Account Id

  3. Products -> Quickbooks Item Id

  4. Invoice -> Quickbooks Invoice Id

To update the realmID:

  1. Go to the column settings of the table and select the column.

  2. Click the Edit button in the Configuration section.

  3. Replace <realmID> in the URL field for all three methods with your realmID.

  4. Click Submit.

By default, you are connected to the QuickBooks sandbox account. To switch to production, ensure that you remove all instances of "sandbox-" from the URL.

Auth

Before using the integration, you need to authorize Labii to perform operations. Simply click the Auth button. If it's your first time, you'll be redirected to QuickBooks to enter your username and password. If you've authorized it previously, Labii will securely store a refresh token and use it to generate the access token.

Add to Quickbooks

The "Add to QuickBooks" function allows you to create records in QuickBooks based on the table you're currently viewing. For instance, if you click "Add to QuickBooks" from the account table, a customer will be created in QuickBooks. This function gathers all the necessary information for the records, so it's important to provide as much detail as possible in Labii. You can also customize the information included by updating the configurations. For more information, visit https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/get-started.
