A. Overview

  • This article is for centers that have gone through a 1st sync and are switching from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online using the Summary Sync export method. If you have not gone through a 1st sync, this article should not be followed.


  • These instructions assume you are importing your existing QuickBooks desktop company file into QuickBooks Online. If you are not importing your QuickBooks desktop file into QuickBooks online and instead are starting a new QuickBooks online company from scratch, this article should not be followed.


B. Supported Versions

  • Simple Start
  • Essentials
  • Plus
  • Advanced


C. Purchase Orders

Purchase Orders do not sync to QuickBooks Online with Summary Sync. 

If you have previously synced CoreBridge Purchase Orders to QuickBooks desktop please be aware that the QuickBooks Online sync does not provide that feature. 


D. Multiple Locations / Class Tracking

If your CoreBridge system has more than one location, you must have a version of QuickBooks Online that has the CLASS TRACKING feature. This will allow each location to be separated by Class just like QuickBooks desktop. Not all versions of QuickBooks Online have that feature.

    Do not attempt sync at this time.



    		The turnaround time for Step 5 is approximately one business day or shorter. 



    6CoreBridge Support

    Once Step 5 has been completed we will let you know. You can then perform a sync by following the directions in the next sections.

This is where you perform your own 1st sync to QuickBooks Online.

Do not perform a sync until Step 5 above has been completed by CoreBridge Support.


NOTES

  • All accounts and locations(classes) will sync again. They had to be reset because your QuickBooks is on a new database.
  • Sync Start Date: This date tells the sync which Reconciliation to start with based on date. 
    • Find the most recent journal entry in QuickBooks Online that synced.
    • Note the date.
    • That date will be your sync start date in the next section. (The journal entry in QuickBooks won't sync again)
