FAQs
Q. How many requests can QuickBooks process at a time?
A. QuickBooks can process 200 requests per minute, whether they are customer, inventory or invoice requests. If you are syncing a large amount of data for your inventory, customers or invoices, QuickBooks will take some time to sync them.
Q. How are inventory items and customers synced with QuickBooks?
A. Our QuickBooks integration with RepairDesk primarily syncs based on your invoices. When an invoice is synced with QuickBooks, the integration checks if the customer or inventory item already exists in QuickBooks. If it doesn't exist, it is then added to QuickBooks.
Q. Can I add two different customers with the same name?
A. Yes. Customers with the same names can be added to QuickBooks no problem. However, in order to differentiate these two customers, their Customer ID in RepairDesk will be added after their name, so that they can be distinguished easily and the system doesn't mix them up.
Q. Can I add a line item discount?
A. Our integration with QuickBooks considers overall discount instead of line item discounts. If the items in your invoices have line item discounts, the integration is smart enough to add these line items under a separate line item called Discount with a negative sum, so that your amounts are not affected and the discount is accounted properly.
Q. Can I add multiple tax classes for different items in an invoice?
A. In RepairDesk, you can select different tax classes for different invoices while creating an invoice.

We strongly advise that you use the same tax class for all items in such invoices.
