Before configuring QuickBooks companies, let's have a look at the attributes based on which the QuickBooks data is synced:
Account Attribute: This is a dropdown that populates all the Lookup as well as Option Set fields on Account entity. You have to select value which would be considered as criteria for syncing data from CRM to QuickBooks and vice-versa. The default value is considered Owning Business Unit.
Contact Attribute: This drop-down populates all the Lookup as well as Option Set fields on Contact entity. You have to select value which would be considered as criteria for syncing data from CRM to QuickBooks, and vice-versa. The default value is considered Owning Business Unit.
Use Field Service Tax: Field Service Tax works only for US QuickBooks companies. This is a dropdown that gives the user an option to either choose Field Service Tax entity or InoLink Tax entity. Tax data would be synced in the chosen tax entity. If the user has selected No, then InoLink Tax entity would be considered, if the user has selected Yes, then Field Service Tax entity would be considered. If Field Service Tax is set as ‘Yes’, then Tax Code and Tax Code Details (Field Service tax entities) privilege must be given to InoLink security roles for Tax synchronization.
Note: Selected values of Account and Contact Attribute must be the same.
