What Happens in QuickBooks Online?

MicroBiz Automatically Creates Journal Entry in QuickBooks with the Register Batch Data

Using the account mappings set up in MicroBiz, a journal entry record will be automatically created in QuickBooks Online with all the relevant finiancial data from the published register batch.  Sales taxes will be published to QuickBooks Online as a sales receipt, allowing you to manage the payment of sales taxes in QuickBooks.  The journal entry created will reference the register batch in MicroBiz, providing the ability to easily cross reference the register batch in MicroBiz to the journal entry in QuickBooks.

Creates Sales Receipt in QuickBooks and Sends Sales Taxes Due to the QuickBooks Sales Tax Center

As part of the sync, MicroBiz creates a Sales Receipt in your QuickBooks financials.  This creates a sales tax liability in QuickBooks Onlne on the sales in the MicroBiz register batch.  QuickBooks then aggregates the sales tax liabilities on the register batches, allowing you to use the Sales Tax Center in QuickBooks Online to manage the filing and payment of sales taxes over the selected liability period (day, week, month).  No more manually entering sales taxes in your financial accounting system.

What Else Can the MicroBiz-QuickBooks Online Sync Do?

Automatically Create a Vendor Bill Payable in QuickBooks When Receiving Goods in MicroBiz

When receiving goods from a vendor to add to inventory, you can sync the vendor shipment received in MicroBiz to QuickBooks as a vendor bill payable.  This does three things in QuickBooks:

1) Creates a Vendor Bill Payable for Total Amount of Shipment
2) Expenses any Shipping and Misc costs on the Shipment
3) Adjusts Inventory Value by the value of goods on the Shipment

This allows you to keep track of and make payments amounts due to Vendors from your QuickBooks POS accounting application on from on receipt of inventory in MicroBiz.
