<br>'''-OR-''' 

<br>'''Default Export Bills for New POs''' – If checked, when material is received on POs in SME, SME will export a bill to QuickBooks what you owe the vendor for the part received.

<br>1.       Open SQLink.
<br>2.       Click '''File''' > '''Setup'''.
<br>3.       Click '''Edit''' at the bottom.
<br>4.       Check '''Include SMP Items on Purchase Order'''. If the inventory item on the purchase order is not in QuickBooks, then it uses the SMP Item.
<br>5.       Locate the '''Purchase Orders Options''' section.
<br>6.       If you checked '''Default Export For New Purchase Orders''' in SME, make sure you have '''Export Purchase Orders Only''' in SQLink.
<br>7.       If you '''checked Default Export Bills for New Purchase Order''' in SME, make sure you have '''Export Bills Only''' in SQLink.
<br>8.       '''Export Purchase Orders & Bills''' – check here if you chose to default purchase orders and bills for SME purchase orders. This is uncommon.
<br>9.       Click '''Save''' at the bottom.

<br>'''NOTE'''- If you put an inventory item on a PO and change the description on the PO Item, the PO Item description will transfer to the QB Bill instead of the Inventory Item description.

== Export Options for Subcontractors ==

When you add a service item to an order and add a subcontractor to the service, SME can either export a bill for the subcontractor in QuickBooks for the cost of the service item, or export a PO in QuickBooks for the subcontractor.

<u>Choose one of the following three options :</u>

[[File:SubcontractorCosts_ThreeOptions.png]]

<span style="color:orange">'''1'''</span> - '''Send Bill for Subcontractor Cost when you invoice the order'''
<br>- In SME, check '''Default Export Subcontractor Bills on Invoice'''.  
<br>- In SQLink, click '''File''' > '''Setup''' > '''Invoice/Proposal Options tab''', check '''Export Bills for Subcontractor'''
<br>When the order is invoiced and the invoice is synced to QuickBooks, the bill is generated in QuickBooks.  A bill will also be generated if you create a new itemized invoice in SME, a bill will be generated in QuickBooks. (image below)


[[File:SubcontractorBill.jpg]]

<span style="color:orange">'''2'''</span> - '''Send PO for Subcontractor Cost when you invoice the order''' 
<br>- In SME, check '''Default Export Subcontractor POs on Invoice'''.  
<br>- In SQLink, click '''File''' > '''Setup''' > '''Invoice/Proposal Options tab''', check '''Export Purchase Orders for Subcontractor'''
<br>This option is used by companies that have subcontractors on many service orders. Rather than generating separate bills for every order, they export purchase orders to QuickBooks. In QuickBooks, they can then add the purchase orders to one bill to pay subcontractor. The PO will be generated when you sync the ''invoice'' for the service order to QuickBooks.


<span style="color:orange">'''3'''</span> - '''Send Bill for Subcontractor Cost when you close the order'''
If you prefer to send the subcontractor bill to QuickBooks when you ''close'' the order instead of sending over with the invoice, then make sure you check the following:
<br>- In SME, '''Setup''' module > '''Order''', check '''Default Export Bills for Closed'''
<br>- In SQLink, click '''File''' > '''Setup''', check '''Export Bills for Closed Orders''' (circled in image below on the left)
<br>The date on the bill comes from the '''Opened Date''' on the order in SME.

<h3>Subcontractors on Labor Items</h3>
If you don't add subcontractors to service items, but instead you schedule your subcontractors using the Labor Editor/Dispatch, you can still send Bills or POs for their cost. Make sure you do the following setup in SQLink.
<br>1. Open SQLink.
<br>2. Click '''File''' > '''Setup'''
<br>3. Click the '''Invoice/Proposal Options''' tab.
<br>4. Click '''Edit''' at the bottom
<br>5. Check '''Include Labor Records on Subcontractor Bills and POs'''
<br>6. Click '''Save'''.

== Export Options for Inventory Items ==
Inventory is managed in one of two ways when SME is syncing with QuickBooks:

<br>·         '''As SME Only Inventory''' – Items are maintained in SME and inventory Cost of Goods, Inventory Asset, and Sales Income accounts are passed through SMP_Item. (After your initial sync with QuickBooks, you will see '''SMP_Item''' in your QuickBooks Item List. Set the income, sales, and COGS account on the SMP_Item)

<br>·         '''As SME and QuickBooks Inventory''' – inventory items are synced and are maintained in both applications. Invoicing for material in SME decreases stock in QuickBooks. Creating Purchase Orders for material in SME increase stock in QuickBooks. Manually changing stock numbers will have to be done in both SME using [[Inventory Quantity Reconciliation]] and also in QuickBooks.

<br>[[File:DefaultExportOptions InventoryItems.png]]

'''Default Export for New Inventory''' – Check here if you are tracking inventory items in SME '''and''' QuickBooks. New Inventory items added in SME will be exported to QuickBooks.

'''As Inventory Item''' – Check here if you chose to export new inventory items to QuickBooks. If not checked, the item will export to QuickBooks as a non-inventory item. 

<br> The image below shows how the inventory item name and description fields sync to QuickBooks.

<br>2.       Go to the '''Inventory''' module > '''Inventory'''.
<br>3.       Click '''Search''' to find the inventory item.
