Fix missing employees error

Employee names in QuickBooks Online must match exactly those in QuickBooks Time to export hours. If they don’t, your sync log will display a message that says: “Can't export [employee’s] time, because the user's account isn't found in your QuickBooks Employee List”. Here’s how to fix this:

1. In QuickBooks Time, select the QuickBooks dropdown, then View Sync Log.
2. Next to the error message, select Fix This.
   Note: if you don’t see the error message, select a different sync report. Sync reports that contain error messages display in red. 
3. A list of your employees from QuickBooks Online displays. Search for and select the matching employee. 
   1. If you can’t find the employee, you need to add them into QuickBooks Online and perform an import. Then, try to match the employee again.
   2. If you don’t want to export this employee’s time, you can select Exclude this user's time. 
4. Select Save. Repeat if there is more than one unmatched employee.
