QuickBooks FAQ's
How does this work with QuickBooks ?
Essentially LiveCosts takes over Procurement and invoice processing for the purpose of ensuring all coats that arrive into the business are assigned to a project budget. Bills are then posted from LiveCosts to QuickBooks.
What about tracking categories ?
On set up we import your QuickBooks Tracking Categories ( Classes, Locations & Projects ) meaning they can be used when posting from LiveCosts to QuickBooks. QuickBooks tracking categories can also be aligned to LiveCosts projects
Can i import my QuickBooks Data ?
Yes, on set up all tax rates, accounts, tracking categories, suppliers can be imported in bulk
What about Income ?
Sales invoices can be imported from QuickBooks and applied directly to projects in Livecosts. We will monitor invoices for payment updates which automatically update Livecosts with the latest payment information.
