What You Should Know About Settlement Advance Data Integration
Ditat TMS will request an updated Chart of Accounts and Item List from QuickBooks before each sync.
Ditat TMS does not retrieve vendor information from QuickBooks — it only creates and updates vendors.
Before exporting, Ditat TMS checks whether a vendor with the same Accounting ID already exists in QuickBooks. If it does, the vendor record will be updated with any new information. If it does not, a new Vendor will be created using the Accounting ID as the vendor name.
For each advance, Ditat TMS sends two offsetting entries to the QuickBooks General Journal:
Debit – Driver Advances (Other Current Asset)
Credit – Fuel Card Payable (Credit Card)
Ditat TMS checks whether a Vendor Credit with the same reference number already exists in QuickBooks. If it does, it will not be exported.
If a duplicate Vendor Credit or General Journal entry is found in QuickBooks, Ditat TMS will mark it as exported and log a warning in the export report.
Ditat TMS only exports certain fields to QuickBooks (see below). All other fields in QuickBooks can be modified independently and will not be affected by the export.
Due to QuickBooks' 11-character limit, Ditat TMS will shorten the Vendor Bill ID to comply. For example,
SB-0000123456-01will be transferred to QuickBooks as123456-01.
