Importing payroll runs

Greetings:

 

I work for a company that provides software to the trucking industry.  We offer an integration to QuickBooks Online via the API for invoices, bills, and we really, really wish we could do the same for Payroll runs.  Our software calculates the gross pay based on miles, etc., and we need to post that gross pay into QBO.  This is not supported today in the API, and no one from Intuit can explain why and or when it will be.  In lieu of this, what options do we have for streamlining the workflow and manual entry for our customers?  I can see that the UK version of QBO at least supports importing a pay run via a file, but that same functionality is not available in the US.  Are there any good 3rd-party apps that support importing payroll data?

Importing payroll runs

Hi there, @ncrown.

 

Thank you for sharing your concern here in the QuickBooks Community. 

 

Yes, you're right. Importing payroll isn't available for the US version of QuickBooks Online (QBO). Although, you can place your concern on the Intuit Developer site. This way, they can provide an alternative workaround in entering your payroll data into the program.

 

Here's is the link: https://help.developer.intuit.com/s/topic/0TOG0000000kF9IOAU/general-questions.

 

Additionally, we don't recommend any third-party application when it comes to importing your payroll data. Though, you can search for any app on this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/app/apps/home.

 

Moreover, we've assembled some frequently asked questions about importing data to QBO, you can check them out in this article: Common questions about importing data to QuickBooks Online.

 

If you have any other concerns, feedback, or questions, don't hesitate and come back to the Community. I'm always here to help you. Have a great day.
