Export your timesheet information in one easy file for direct import into Intuit QuickBooks
Integration format: IIF file
The Intuit QuickBooks integration allows you to speed up and increase the accuracy of payroll processing by enabling the export of employee hours (as set up in your Ento awards) in a file format that can be directly read and imported by QuickBooks.
Initial setup
The QuickBooks integration can be added to your account by navigating to Add-Ons > Intuit QuickBooks. Export options are set within the add-on edit screen:
Name: The name of the integration that will appear in your list of export options when exporting pay cycle data.
Match Reckon types using: These options allow the employee/area/location/store ID's set up in Ento to be exported to the various fields in the Quickbooks export file.
Configuring Ento to communicate with QuickBooks
To ensure that the export file created by Ento can be imported and read by your QuickBooks system successfully and without errors, you'll need to ensure that:
- All employee IDs in Ento all match those of your QuickBooks setup
- Each earning rate in your Ento Awards have a earning rate ID that matches a corresponding pay element in QuickBooks
- Each leave type in Ento has an ID that matches a corresponding pay element in QuickBooks
This should all be set up during your Ento implementation, so for any future changes or additions, it's advised to chat to Ento Support for assistance.
Exporting timesheets as part of a pay run
Once you're ready to send timesheet data to QuickBooks, simply navigate to Payroll & Leave > Pay cycles and click Export next to the pay cycle in question. Choose the Intuit QuickBooks export type and it'll display information relating to the processing of data, before allowing you to download the file that you can use for importing.
