How do you sync an employee TS who was original setup as a vendor in QB Online?

I'm here to assist you with syncing an employee timesheet in your timesheet app. 

 

If an employee was a vendor in QBO and you now want to sync their time using the time tracking app, you can follow these steps:

 

First, in QBO, update the employee's status from Vendor to Employee. Here's how you can do it:

 

  1. Go to the Workers or Employees menu in QBO.
  2. Locate the employee who was a vendor.
  3. Edit the employee's profile and change the status to Employee.

 

Install and connect the QuickBooks Time app to your QuickBooks Online account. You can find the app in the Intuit App Store and follow the instructions to integrate it with your QBO account.

 

Once the employee's status is updated to Employee in QBO and you have the QuickBooks Time app set up and connected, you can start syncing their time using these steps:

 

  1. In QuickBooks Time, ensure the employee is set up with the correct account type (Employee, not Vendor).
  2. Have the employee track their time using the QuickBooks Time app.
  3. The time entries should automatically sync with QBO once the integration is set up correctly.

 

Ensuring that the employee's status is correctly updated in QuickBooks Online is essential, as the integration between QuickBooks Time and QBO relies on the correct employee/vendor designation.
