For instructions on synching an existing organisation please see the Sync a QuickBooks Online Organisation help note. To reconnect to an organisation see Reconnect a QuickBooks Online Organisation.

Note 💬 Only a subscription Owner and Co-Owner can add an organisation to a workspace.

Navigate to:
​Settings -> Billing & Admin -> Manage Organisations

This will open the Admin screen in a new browser tab

  1. Click on Add Organisation at the left.
    ​

  2. Your current usage is displayed. This is the number of organisations you have connected from the maximum available.
    ​
    If required adjust the new capacity. You can increase the capacity at this point to avoid processing multiple upgrades when you intend to add a number of organisations. See Calxa Pricing for details on any additional charges.

    ​
    What do you want to import?

    1. Location / Class / Customer: to budget and report on any of these QuickBooks tracking options in Calxa, you'll need to turn them on here. If you just need to budget and report at the organisation level, leave these turned off.

    2. Include QuickBooks Budget: at this point you can import one of your QuickBooks budgets. See Sync a QuickBooks Organisation for more details.

  9. The import progress will be displayed until the import is complete.
    ​

    Note: 💬 The time taken to import depends on your chosen import settings and how much historical data exists in QuickBooks. Some imports may take less than a minute while the other extreme may be 20 minutes or more.

  10. When the import is complete, set your preferences by selecting them from the drop-down menus in each section. Click ALL DONE when finished.
    ​

    Note: 💬 all preferences can be changed later if required.

  11. When complete you will be brought back to the Workspaces menu.

    1. To add another organisation repeat the process.

    2. Or click OPEN WORKSPACE to budget and report on this new organisation.
