Do you import my past QuickBooks Estimates and Invoices into Mhelpdesk?
No. We do not import past financial data into mHelpDesk. mHelpDesk is not a replacement for QuickBooks. It designed to integrate with QuickBooks. You should continue using QuickBooks to look up historical transactions. Moving forward, mHelpDesk will continue syncing your transactions to QuickBooks for your accounting.
How does the actual sync process work?
We have a very easy-to-use syncing tool. With just a few clicks you can import and export your data to-and-from QuickBooks. There are two separate tools. One to import data, and one two export data. You can find these tools under your Settings menu in mHelpDesk.
Will QuickBooks Desktop syncing work on my Mac?
Unfortunately, Intuit has not provided a means to sync with their Mac products. If you are on a Mac we recommend using QuickBooks Online in conjunction with our QuickBooks Online integration tool.
How does QuickBooks know what account a new item belongs to?
When you export a new item created in mHelpDesk to QuickBooks, our tool will prompt you to select the chart of accounts that the item belongs to. This is identical to setting up a new item in QuickBooks, only that it is done through our sync tool.
