Important Notices:
•*Only one account of type "Accounts Receivable" is allowed.
•**Food Connex sends a single line item per invoice transaction to QuickBooks. The Wash Account is used so that the values for the single line item entry in QuickBooks can be spread across multiple sales, cost of goods sold, and inventory accounts as detailed in the Food Connex Invoice. A general journal transaction with a matching document number to the Invoice handles the distribution.
•***If you collect sales tax you must create a new tax account of the expense type in QuickBooks. The default tax account in QuickBooks will not work correctly with Food Connex Cloud.
•The information above should be reviewed with your accounting advisor to determine the appropriate configuration for you company.
Food Connex requires a special item named "Food Connex Item" to be setup in your QuickBooks Company File prior to posting your first invoice. The table below outlines the required fields.
