Timesheets hours will not populate in payroll

Hello there, newvisioncommunicationsllc.

I'm here to help fix the issue you're having with timesheet hours in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

We haven't received any reported cases similar to what you're getting. To isolate this, let's sign in to your QBO using a private browser (incognito). There are times that the browser is already full of frequently accessed page resources (cache and cookies), causing some unusual responses.

Here's how:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome).
• Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox).
• Control + Option + P (Safari).

Once logged in, try to run a payroll again to double-check. You can refer to this article for further guidance: Create and run your payroll.

If everything looks good, return to your default browser and perform a clear cache to refresh the system. However, if the issue persists, try using other supported browsers.

I'm also adding this article that tackles managing QuickBooks Time for for more information: Get started with QuickBooks Time.

Is your QB timesheets set up to export time to Quickbooks? 

Hi:

I had the same problem you are having.  I had to call in several times before speaking to an expert QB Time. Are you running auto payroll?

I have the same problem. It just loads the "scheduled hours" of 80 hours per pay period instead of the actual hours on "Time".

Hello there, @Lmayesod. 

When exporting hours from QuickBooks Time to QuickBooks you'll use the Payroll Item Mapping Tool to assign payroll items to it. For each type of hour your employee tracks, there'll be a payroll item assigned. Here's how:

1. Access your QuickBooks Time and select the QuickBooks dropdown.
2. Next, choose Preferences and click Payroll Item Mapping Tool.
3. Then, on the Map Employees tab, select an employee's name.
4. In each hour type column, select one payroll item for each. Selections are saved automatically.
5. Once finished, close the window.

For more information, check out this article: Map QuickBooks payroll items in QuickBooks Time. 

I also include this helpful resource that you can use as a guide in exporting data in QuickBooks: Export or import time data in QuickBooks Time.

I'm always here ready to lend a hand if you have any other concerns managing your employee time in QuickBooks. Please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. Have a good one and stay safe.

I am having the same issue. Started last payroll run. 

Time entries all sync successfully. We have been using Time and QBO for years with no issues but now the hours do not populate in QBO when I run payroll. No errors and all time shows approved in QBO. 

I would love to know how to fix this, annoying to have to enter manually.

Thank you for joining the thread, and bringing this to our attention, @CassZ. I'll share with you information that could help you fix this.

You'll want to check if the payroll item mapping is correct. If it has something to do with mapping, I recommend utilizing the Payroll Item Mapping Tool to remap and assign the payroll items correctly. I'll show you how:

1. Access your QuickBooks Time and select the QuickBooks selection.
2. Select Preferences and then Payroll Item Mapping Tool.
3. Then, under the Map Employees tab, choose one employee's name.
4. Choose one payroll item for each hour type column. Selections are saved automatically.
5. Once finished, close the window.

For detailed information, refer to this article: Map QuickBooks payroll items in QuickBooks Time.

I had the same problem.  I finally unapproved all employees time, then checked all of them and approved.  Then it populated all of their time into payroll.  It seems to be a glitch, pretty frustrating to say the least, but at least this worked this time, and was easy.
