Integrate QuickBooks Time with and export timesheets to Sage 50

Note: This integration is not compatible with all versions of Sage 50. Reach out to our Support team to see if we can make adjustments to fit your needs.

Install the integration

1. In QuickBooks Time, go to Feature Add-ons, then select Manage Add-ons.
2. In the list, find Sage 50, and select Install.

Export timesheet data to Sage 50

1. From the left menu under Reports, select Sage 50 Export.
2. Next to Report Dates, select a pay period and date range.
3. Do one of the following:
   • To include all employees in the spreadsheet: Leave Filter by set to all employees.
   • To include select employees in the spreadsheet: Select all employees, select the employees or groups, then OK.
4. Select Download CSV, and save the file.
5. In Sage, select File, then select Import/Export.
6. Select Time/Expense, then Time Ticket Register and Import.
7. Select the Options tab, and select the .csv file you exported from QuickBooks Time.
8. Select the First Row Contains Headings checkbox, then OK.

Note: The same spreadsheet can only be imported once. Attempting to re-import the same file (or downloading a new file from QuickBooks Time for the same users/timeframe with minor adjustments) will result in an error in Sage. To fix this, delete the Time and Expense Tickets in Sage, then re-import.
