<br>[[File:SummarizedLaborImage2.png]]

<h3> Default Labor, Material, Service Line Item</h3>
This is where you will select your default pass through items for Labor, Materials and Services. They will be defaulted to SMP_Labor, SMP_Item and SMP_Service. You can choose a different item if you would like, but for the Material Line Item make sure you choose a non-inventory item.
<br>These items will be used in the following types of scenarios:
<br>- If an inventory item isn’t in QB, then when item is invoiced the income will pass through the Default Material Line Item.
<br>- If you are invoicing labor and you didn’t choose a service item in the labor editor, the income for labor will pass through the Default Labor Line item in QB.
<br>- If a service item isn’t in QB, then when the item is invoiced, the income will pass through the Default Service Line Item.
<br>- If you are using Fix Rate invoices, the labor, material and services will pass through these items by default.

<br>'''Default Labor Line Item'''- 
<br>Go to QB and open the SMP_Labor item from your item list and set the income account and if you don’t tax labor, change the tax code to non. You will also need to mark SMP_Labor as non-taxable in SME if you don’t charge tax on labor. In SME > Inventory Module > Services, search for SMP_Labor and check non-taxable.

<br>'''Default Material Line Item''' - 
<br>Go to QB and open the SMP_Item and set the income account.
<br>'''NOTE''' - If you want to change to use a different item, make sure you select another '''non-inventory''' item. Inventory items are not supported.

<br>'''Default Service Line Item''' - 
<br>Go to QB and open the SMP_Service in the QB Item List and set the income account
<br>If you don’t charge tax on services, set SMP_Service to the tax code of Non. You will also need to go set the item in SME as non-taxable. Go to SME > Inventory module > Services and search for SMP_Service. Check non-taxable.

<h3>Charge Buckets</h3>
The Charge Buckets are related to fields on the Totals tab on an invoice in SME.
<br>[[File:PaymentCreditTab_ChargeBuckets.png]]

<br>Here is the '''Totals''' tab on an invoice in SME. The fields circled are related to the Charge Buckets in SQLink. If there is a charge in any of these fields on the totals tab, the income will pass through the related Charge Bucket in QuickBooks shown in the invoice image below.
<br>[[File:ChargeBucketsOnTotalsTab.png]]

<br> The above SME invoice had a charge in the Premium, Trip Charge, Other Charges, and Freight fields. On the invoice that synced to QB from SME, you will see the charges pass through the items set in the related charge buckets.

<br> You will need to make sure you set the income account on all or the items set in your charge buckets. Also, if the charge isn’t taxable, make sure you change the item to non-taxable. (image below)
