      Information

      Quickbooks is available as a self-hosted 'Desktop' version as well as the cloud-based 'Online' version. The product being used at the property will determine the setup and features available.

      The Financial Interface to Quickbooks Desktop and Quickbooks Online are available for both Accrual & Cash Accounting properties using RMS.

      The Control Account is used in the financial export to offset Suspense Receipts for Cash Accounting and as an offset for Accrual Accounting when generated for a date range.

      General Ledger Account Codes should be setup in RMS to match the naming conventions used in Quickbooks.


      Connecting to Quickbooks in RMS requires the Financial Interfaces module.

      Users will require Security Profile access to use this feature.
