Jan 27, 2020


We are very excited to announce our new QuickBooks Online integration! Now you can automatically send the documents from Precoro directly to your accounting system.

Precoro integration with QuickBooks is designed to connect your accounting and procurement operations for a smoother collaboration.

With it, you can automate time-consuming purchasing processes, manage and pay bills just in a few clicks, and control budgets more thoroughly.

How Precoro and QuickBooks integrations works

As soon as you connect your Precoro account to QuickBooks Online, all your suppliers and items sync automatically. Immediately after this, all your valid purchase orders and invoices will be sent to your QuickBooks account from Precoro as well.

Thus, you can forget about endless paperwork, spreadsheets, and tons of emails. All the needed data flows automatically and sync your Precoro and QuickBooks operations every time.

All of your suppliers and products will be connected to appropriate fields in QuickBooks Online. This will help you get the relevant details both in Precoro and QuickBooks. Please note that we can't update items in QuickBooks by Precoro.

Speaking of other aspects that can be integrated, you can import only selected charts of accounts, classes, departments, and customers from QuickBooks if there is no need to transfer the complete lists. 

Besides, you can always deactivate or delete integrated fields unnecessary for your procurement process. You will be able to find inactive fields using filters anytime you need them.

Adding attachments

For better control over financial documents, you can transfer additional attachments from Precoro to QuickBooks along with PO and invoices. When you transfer the document from Precoro, you should specify the document ID in QuickBooks to which the attachment should be added. 

You can add files in the following formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, DOC, XLSX, CSV, and XML. Please note that if you delete a particular attachment in Precoro, the same will happen in your QuickBooks account.

Manual payments' synchronization

If you want to transfer purchase orders or invoices from your QuickBooks account to Precoro manually, you can do it as well. You just need to select the "Invoice Issue Date" and press the "Import from QuickBooks" button.
