QuickBooks Desktop
To get set up, you will associate each Jackrabbit Cat1 with a QuickBooks account from your QuickBooks Chart of Accounts.
The Jackrabbit export creates an IIF file that includes a summary of the payment transactions and the associated Category 1s for the exported date range. Note: Family/Account names and individual transactions are not exported. This detail is kept in Jackrabbit.
In QuickBooks, the IIF file is imported, and a general journal entry is created in the QuickBooks company file.
Your authorization allows Jackrabbit to connect to QuickBooks Online to share data through a secure internet connection.
You will associate each Jackrabbit Cat1 to an account in the QuickBooks Online Chart of Accounts that populates into Jackrabbit once connected.
When connected to your QuickBooks company file, the export is transmitted as soon as you select your criteria and click the Export button. The export includes a summary of the payment transactions and the associated Category 1s for the exported date range. Note: Family/Account names and individual transactions are not exported. This detail is kept in Jackrabbit.
