To set up sending the invoices to QBO, navigate to Uku Settings & Apps. On the Billing app Setup tab, choose QuickBooks as your accounting service.
Once invoices are created in Uku, navigate to the Billing menu, All Invoices tab. Select the invoices you want to send and choose Export to send them to QBO.
You can also tell Uku to check your invoices daily and update their status in Uku. Uku will keep a tab on your exported invoices and flag them as paid in Uku. If an invoice is paid only partially, Uku will show it as unpaid. You can also manually update invoice statuses based on QBO status by again selecting the invoices you want to update.
