Objective

To transfer time entries from the Company level Timesheets to QuickBooks® Desktop. 

Background

If your company processes its payroll using QuickBooks® Desktop, you can transfer the time entries from Procore's Company level Timesheets tool using a simple file export process. However, before you can start that data transfer, you must complete some set up steps:

  • Export a preformatted Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) file from the QuickBooks® system where you intend to transfer your Procore data.
  • Configure the Timesheets tool's payroll settings for QuickBooks®. 
  • Import the IIF file from QuickBooks® into Procore's Company level Timesheets tool. 
 Notes
  • The IIF file provides the data structure that Procore needs to ensure that transferred data is formatted as required in QuickBooks®. Your IIF file must match this structure:
    • Cost Codes Numbering
    • Cost Codes Format
    • Cost Codes Time Types
    • Employee Names
    • Customer Names
    • Job Names
  • Technical support or assistance for creating or importing an Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) file is NOT provided. It is recommended that you always create a backup of your IIF file in case you need to reference it later. 
  • Transferring time entries from Procore is a separate function and does NOT require the Procore + QuickBooks® Connector.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • To export your time entries, 'Read Only' level permissions on the company's Timesheets tool.
    • To import your time entries, you must be in Single User mode with 'Admin' level permissions on QuickBooks® Desktop.

Prerequisites

  • Enable the Company level Timesheets tool.
