Notes:

• You must have a QBO account with your company that gives you the appropriate access for making configuration changes or carrying out tasks such as adding a Class. If you are unsure of your access privileges, contact your QBO master administrator for clarification.
• Settings for QBO are provided here for the purpose of integration. If there are any questions or problems related to any of those settings, please contact QuickBooks Support.

Mapping Overview

Prendio uses a QuickBooks Online Connector to enable communication with QBO. You must configure QBO appropriately before using the connector.

This table shows the default mapping of Prendio Segments to QBO Segments:

In order for the Prendio QBO connector to work correctly, the following must be enabled in QBO:

• Classes - One to each row in transaction
• Track Expenses and Items by Customer
• (Optional) Multicurrency to allow each Supplier/Vendor to have a different currency for its transactions. Note that you cannot reverse the action of enabling Multicurrency. See this QuickBooks Help Document for more information.

Regarding the other accounting segments:

• GL Accounts - Enabled by default in QuickBooks. No changes are needed to support the integration with Prendio.
• Terms - Enabled by default in QuickBooks. No changes are needed to support the integration with Prendio.
• Projects - Must be supported by the edition of QBO used by your company and enabled. Projects are objects that existing under Customers in QBO, which is why you often see Customer and Project referenced together in QBO.

Regarding the Location field in QBO:

• Location values are not stored line-by-line in QBO. They are only stored in the bill header. For this reason, the Location field is not recommended for use with the integration for Prendio and QBO
• Depending on the version of QBO being used, it is possible to define different labels for the Location field, including "Department". Do not use the Department label without guidance from the Prendio Technical Support team. Using that label changes the default mapping behavior between Prendio and QBO

QBO Setup

On the QBO dashboard, click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of the page and select Accounts and settings in the Your Company section. Once there, you will configure QBO for integration with Prendio.

Note: These settings might be located in different tab depending on the version of QBO used by your company.

In the Expenses tab, edit the Bills and expenses section. Enable the setting Track expenses and items by customer.

In the Advanced tab, edit the Categories section. Enable Track classes. In the pull down for Assign Classes, select "One to each row in transaction".

Connecting Prendio to QBO
