Sending joint and phased invoices to QuickBooks

When you send joint and phased invoices from BQE CORE to QuickBooks Online, it creates multiple invoices in QuickBooks Online by default, depending on the number of projects or phases on the invoice. Those invoices in QuickBooks Online have the same invoice number and client. However, if you want to send a joint or combined invoice to QuickBooks Online, you can use the option Send joint invoices as single invoice to QuickBooks in Integrations > QuickBooks > QuickBooks Sync Detail > Sync Settings > Send under the Invoice drop-down. Additionally, for phased invoices, you have the option to associate the combined invoices in QuickBooks Online to the Client, Parent Job, or Top Level Job.

Sending non-phased joint invoices to QuickBooks

If you have projects without phases in CORE that share a common client, you can create a joint invoice for these projects.

You can send such a joint invoice to QuickBooks Online as a single, combined invoice by checking the Send joint invoices as single invoice to QuickBooks option. The invoice gets tied to the client (i.e., customer) in QuickBooks Online. Note that the Associate joint invoice with option has no affect in this case.
