Disconnecting Fusebill From QuickBooks Online
When you disconnect Fusebill from QuickBooks, all synchronization information will be removed from Fusebill and cannot be restored. If you choose to re-connect Fusebill to the same QuickBooks account, your Customers and associated invoices, payments, etc. will be duplicated.
To completely disconnect Fusebill from QuickBooks Online, click the Disconnect button. You will be asked to confirm this action as it cannot be undone.
Settings

Choose the default behavior for when a Fusebill customer is activated. By default, when an activation occurs, Fusebill will automatically create a new QuickBooks customer. This is usually the preferred action, but if you are in the process of synchronizing Fusebill customer records to existing QuickBooks records, you may want to change this to "Do not create a customer in QuickBooks online" until you have finished that process. You can come back and change this default at any time, and you can also override this setting on any individual customer.
Note that Fusebill only synchronizes customers with QuickBooks when they are Activated; Draft customers are not synced to QuickBooks.
Also, choose whether your QBO account is a sandbox account or not. Fusebill uses this information to connect to the appropriate resources on the QuickBooks platform.
Data Map

Choose the fields that Fusebill will use to generate the "Display Name" field in QuickBooks when a new customer is created. This gives you some flexibility in using meaningful data from Fusebill to create new customers in QuickBooks. Usually, if you are a B2B organization, you would choose the Company Name and perhaps the Customer ID and skip the First and Last Name. If you are B2C, you might skip the Company name and use First and Last instead.
The Fusebill ID is always included in the Display Name field when a new record is created; however, you can modify this field in QuickBooks (for example, if you are using it for other businesses processes). In this case, you should set the next option to "No". Fusebill does not need the information in this field once the record has been created.
Note: The QuickBooks "Display Name" field is the only field where the Fusebill ID can be stored. Therefore, if you choose to have Fusebill not maintain that field and/or you edit it on the QuickBooks side to remove the Fusebill ID, there will be no way to search in QuickBooks for a specific Fusebill ID. (You can, of course, still search for Company Name or First/Last which are synchronized to other fields within QBO.)
Ledger Mapping

On this page, you can change the ledgers that Fusebill uses to write Earned Revenue and Discount information.
- The Earned Revenue ledger is where all invoice transactions will be synced. Most customers will choose an "Undeposited Funds" ledger so that the transactions can be later reconciled with bank statements and the funds moved into Deposited Funds or similar.
- You can choose whether to track discounts as an expense or not with the Discount Expense option. The default setting is "Do Not Recognize". If you choose this option, then Fusebill will not track discounts as separate transactions in QuickBooks and only the net amount of the charges will be synced. If you would like to track Discounts as an expense, choose one of the other ledgers in the list; QuickBooks comes with a default "Discounts Given" ledger which can be used for this purpose.
Note: When you change the ledger mapping(s), only new transactions are affected. Fusebill does not retroactively change any transactions that have already been synced to the previous ledgers.
Tax Mapping
On this page, you can configure how taxes are synchronized to QuickBooks Online. Choose whether to roll up taxes into a single liability ledger, or whether to map each tax type in Fusebill to its corresponding equivalent in QuickBooks.
Note: Mapping to individual taxes requires some additional configuration in QuickBooks before Fusebill invoices will synchronize properly. You will need to configure all of the relevant tax rules in QuickBooks before they can be mapped in Fusebill. See Setting up Taxes for Use with QuickBooks Online for more information.
There are pros and cons to each of these choices, which you will need to assess based on your business needs.
- Rolling up into a single liability is much simpler and does not require a lot of additional configuration in QuickBooks. If you are relying on Fusebill's taxation reporting to keep track of taxes, then this option may be preferable for you.
- Mapping individual Fusebill tax rules to QuickBooks requires more upfront configuration, but it does offer the advantage of having all of Fusebill's tax information properly recorded in QuickBooks and therefore it can be incorporated into QuickBooks tax reports which may include tax information from other parts of your business.
Event Log

The Event Log page shows you the details of all events passed from Fusebill to QuickBooks. It provides useful information when troubleshooting synchronization issues and discussing them with Fusebill Support.
- Click on the Fusebill ID to go to the Customer record for an event.
- Click Details to show the detailed request/response contents of an event. This information may help you determine what the specific error was.
