Exporting Labor Timecards - Payroll Items

If Labor Timecards will be exported to QuickBooks Online, then Payroll Items need to match in both systems and be linked.

Linking Payroll Items in AccountingLink: Sync Preferences


Tax Codes

Sales tax codes in Sage Construction Management can be imported from QuickBooks Online or added manually. Rates for each code must be the same otherwise there will be a discrepancy in the total when exporting transactions from Sage Construction Management to QuickBooks Online.

Adding Tax Codes in Sage Construction Management: Settings | Company Settings | Taxation

Linking Tax Codes in AccountingLink: Sync Preferences


The AccountingLink for QBO utility does not currently support QBO's Auto Calc Sales Tax feature. Thus, the default tax code on the Sage Construction Management Job Cost Code (JCC) listing and tax code references in Prime and Sub Invoice's JCC summary table need to be removed otherwise export errors will occur.


Sage Construction Management Project Cost Codes

Sage Construction Management Project Cost Codes or Internal Division Codes should match Service Items in QuickBooks Online as shown in the images below.
