TimeSlips 2014 and QuickBooks 2016 Desktop

Can someone please tell me if there is a way once you enter checks in QuickBooks (cash basis), you can then turn around and export to Timeslips to create the slip so we can then make sure we bill at month end? Thank you. So very new to TS. Thanks again.

    If you are using Timeslips v2014 or newer you can setup the accounting link (TAL Pro) and pull in check information from QuickBooks to easily create slips. I have set this up for many people and also wrote a guide. The guide is available for $50 at www.timeandcents.com/.../. It covers how to setup the link for sending over payments from Timeslips to QuickBooks and creating slips from checks created in QuickBooks.

    Caren is absolutely correct. There are some capabilities available to you if you want to get into setting up and turning on the link with Quickbooks.

    However, referring back to your original question, it is also possible to "print"/export a transaction report out of Quickbooks and import those entries into Timeslips. I've done it with some of my clients in the past. It is not that it cannot be done, but that it is: 1) a HIGHLY manual process which you will have to keep track of (in terms of what has been export thus far, imported previously etc., 2) requires a bit of expertise to create the import template initially, and 3) involves a bit of a "trick" to get the negative numbers that Quickbooks will be exporting into positive numbers that Timeslips' TSImport could accept.

    If you are very new to Timeslips that may be more complexity than you want to undertake just right now.

    But, the good news is that your instincts are correct, and there is a better way. In fact, TWO better ways!
