Step 2 - Connecting to QuickBooks
You will then be directed to Workforce where you can login to your QuickBooks account and then choose which QuickBooks account you wish to sync and "Authorize"
Step 3 - Choosing what to sync
you will then be redirected back to the Workever integration page where you will now have the option of going to "settings" and you should also have a tick and "active" above to confirm everything is connected
You have the option to choose what data you would like synced in the settings section, so you don't have to worry about data you do not want pulling through to Workever.

Sync chart of accounts and account classes: sync over your chart of accounts and classes for each account
Sync saved cost items: sync over your saved cost items such as labour rates and services you provide etc
Sync taxes: sync over all of your tax rates. You can also map existing workever tax rates to tax rates in QuickBooks so you do not create duplicates

Default payment account: choose the default bank account that customers pay money into when you invoice them
Default cost items account: choose the default cost item account (this is when you are adding costs to a job or invoice to classify the item in e.g. "-sales"
When you have chosen the options you wish to sync the system will sync the chosen information automatically. This will start the processing of syncing over any of the data you have requested.
Step 4 - Sync completion
On successful sync all of your data will now be in both systems. You can check this by going to your contacts, chart of accounts and anything else you have requested to sync over. So whenever you create a new contact, cost item, invoice or tax rate in Workever or QuickBooks you should see it appear in both system within one hour maximum. The system generally sync's every 60-90minutes

Questions, Limitations and things to think about
Sync time: Data will automatically sync to QuickBooks every 60 - 90 minutes.
What if my data doesn't sync? This generally means there is an error on the item and you should look in the sync error tab. If you still cannot fix the issue after looking at this, then reach out to support who will help you.
Contacts: When editing a contact, changes have to be made in QuickBooks for it to take effect in Workever - Think of QuickBooks as the master account when editing a contact record. New contacts created in Workever will sync as normal and create a record in QuickBooks
Stock (inventory) does not sync between Workever and QuickBooks.
Invoices: Invoices created in QuickBooks will not be synced over to Workever. All invoices created in workever (ad hoc created in the invoice section, invoices created within a job and batch invoices will sync over to QuickBooks)
