# Syncing invoices (payable) from Ontraccr to QBO

## **Prerequisites**

In order for invoices (payables) to sync properly from Ontraccr into Quickbooks Online:

-   You must successfully activate the QBO integration within your company's Ontraccr account.
-   In the **Settings > Integrations > Quickbooks** page, the **'Auto-Sync from Ontraccr to Quickbooks'** setting must be enabled.
-   All project and/or cost code profiles in Ontraccr must be correctly linked with their equivalent profiles in QBO. Ontraccr cannot sync any data for an unlinked profile.

## **Configuring your purchase account**

To start, you will need to configure your QBO default purchase account which you want the synced invoices to use when they sync into QBO from Ontraccr. You can find the **'Default Purchase Account'** setting in the **Settings > Integrations > Quickbooks** page. The drop-down selections will show you all the purchase accounts that Ontraccr can see in your company's QBO account (Ontraccr will only pull purchase accounts with **'Bank'** or **'Credit Card'** as the account type). 

Note that you can still change the purchase account when uploading an invoice, but the default purchase account will always be selected initially.

## Uploading & syncing payable invoices

As long as your Ontraccr account is properly connected to QBO, profiles are linked, and you've configured the default purchase account mentioned above, then any [payable invoices uploaded](https://help.ontraccr.com/en/article/uploading-payable-invoices) to Ontraccr will automatically sync into QBO.

When uploading the invoice, by default, the slider will pre-select the default purchase account configured for the integration, but you can change the desired purchase account using the **'Purchase Account'** dropdown field in the invoice slider.

Payable invoices in Ontraccr can either be synced into QBO as a bill or as an expense. When uploading a payable invoice, you can select whether the invoice should be synced as a bill or expense using the following **'Type'** dropdown field in the invoice slider.

On the QBO side, the transaction will show up either as an '**expense**' or **'bill'** type and will show the full dollar amount of the invoice uploaded into Ontraccr.
