Frequently Asked Questions
Does my accountant have to complete the setup?
The person that completes the setup and maintains and monitors the QuickBooks Integration should have a working knowledge of the accounting program itself as well as your account structure (Chart of Accounts).
Can I do my payroll with the QuickBooks Integration?
No, the QuickBooks Integration currently does not transfer payroll information from SalonBiz/SpaBiz to QuickBooks.
If I make a change to a category in SalonBiz/SpaBiz will it automatically reflect the change in QuickBooks?
The information exported to QuickBooks is generated directly from your SalonBiz/SpaBiz database, so any changes you make in the database will be reflected in QuickBooks. However, when making changes to your SalonBiz/SpaBiz accounts you will also need to make sure you re-map those changes in QuickBooks.
If I make a change to an account in my QuickBooks Chart of Accounts will it automatically update?
When you change your Chart of Accounts you will need to follow the process to re-link and re-map you data.
Will the QuickBooks Integration be able to calculate my taxes?
Yes, the QuickBooks Integration will export your product and service sales taxes based on your account structure; however, it will not export any type of payroll taxes.
What if I accidentally leave a day open in SalonBiz/SpaBiz?
If any date in your export range is still an Open day, the Accounting Export will notify you so that you may close the day.
What if I want to export the same data again?
If you have previously exported data fro a selected date, the Accounting Export will display a warning. You can choose to export the data again, but you must first void the original journal entry or the entries for that day. If you are not sure how to void previous journal entries, you should refer to your QuickBooks user guide.
