Revenue Recognition: service date issue

You've come in the right forum, @Ragi K R. I'll add information about Chargebee and QuickBooks Online (QBO) integration and direct you to the best help for this.

Please know that QBO is only dependent on the data synced or imported by Chargebee. With that in mind, I recommend contacting Chargebee support to help you locate the root cause of the error and sync the invoice with the service date information.

Also, I'll share this article to provide you with more information on how Revenue Recognition works in QBO: Set up a revenue recognition schedule.

Thank you for the response.

I reached out to Chargebee, and they confirmed that the service date cannot be synced through the Chargebee-QBO integration. Given this, is there any possibility of allowing the sync to proceed by either:

1. Ignoring the service date when calculating revenue recognition, or
2. Using a default date if the service date is missing, just to ensure the sync happens smoothly?

We already have a script in place that runs daily and populates the correct service date for newly created invoices after the sync occurs. The script is working as expected, so the main goal is to bypass this sync error to keep the process running without manual intervention.

Any guidance on how to handle this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that you have already contacted your third-party app to integrate with QuickBooks Online (QBO), ensuring smooth management of your operations. 

QuickBooks Online is only dependent on data synced or imported by Chargebee. Since you already contacted Chargebee support, and it informs you that the service date cannot be synced through the current Chargebee-QBO integration. You'll want to consider utilizing another connector or application that best suits your business needs. You can visit us app market to find one. 

Furthermore, since you've mentioned using scripts, I recommend posting your two questions to our Intuit Developer forum. This way, our experienced developers and other experts can help you out. Here's how:

Thank you for the suggestion. While I understand that QuickBooks relies on data synced or imported from Chargebee, we already have a process in place to manage the service date after the sync using a script that runs daily and populates the correct service date. This method works well for us, and we'd prefer not to switch to another app unless absolutely necessary.

Is there any way to bypass the service date requirement during the sync? For example, could we set a default date or ignore the field to prevent the sync from failing? Once the sync completes, our script can automatically update the correct service date.

Additionally, is there any way to programmatically turn on or off the revenue recognition feature in QBO via API? This would give us more flexibility in managing the sync process and addressing issues as they arise.

Your guidance on both of these points would be greatly appreciated.

You've raised some relevant questions, @Ragi K R, and I appreciate you for getting back to us.

Since we can't provide specific guidance on these questions due to their technical nature involving APIs, I'm here to route you to the Intuit Developer Support page.
