Business Units to Sync

Customers, Classes and Locations in QuickBooks sync to Calxa as Business Units. See Business Unit Configuration to configure which categories to sync and optionally define combinations to sync intersecting categories, like Locations and Classes.

Budgets & Years to Sync

  3. The What do you want to Sync? section provides options related to the sync process.

    1. Include Years
      This determines what years are updated during the sync process.

      1. All Available is used to do a full sync of all available years.

      2. Current & Previous will reduce the sync time by syncing only the current and previous financial year.

      3. Current will reduce the sync time by syncing only the current financial year.
        ​

    2. Include QuickBooks Budget
      You can optionally sync your QuickBooks budget into a read only copy in Calxa. Use this option to import your chosen QuickBooks budget and then copy the data to an editable version in Calxa. See Use your Accounting System Budget in Calxa for more details.
