Tips:

  • If any of the line items in your SumoQuote report are not already in QuickBooks, you will receive a prompt to resolve the issue. You can either add the line item as a new item or link it to an existing item in QuickBooks.
  • To make it easier to select from your list of QuickBooks Customers and Sub Customers, it is recommended to use a naming convention that helps you easily distinguish between a Customer and a Sub Customer in QuickBooks. This will streamline the process and ensure accurate selection when syncing records between SumoQuote, QuickBooks, and JobNimbus.
  • Applying a tax rate is optional during the syncing process.

  • The Report will now show up in QuickBooks as an Estimate under Customer if you are using JobNimbus Contacts, or a Sub Customer if you are using JobNimbus Jobs.
