QuickBooks Online Setup Guide

QuickBooks Online (QBO) is an accounting software from Intuit, designed to manage payroll, inventory, sales, and other accounting needs of small businesses.

Replicating data from your QBO account to a Destination of your choice comprises the following one-time setups:

  1. Creating an app in your QBO account. Read Create and start developing your app for the steps to do this.

  2. Allowing Hevo to connect with the created app and read data from a company in your account. For this, you must grant Hevo the requested permissions.

Next, you can create a Pipeline in Hevo and replicate the data from your QBO account.

Note: You can create only one Pipeline per company in your QBO account.


Source Considerations

  • QuickBooks Online (QBO) APIs allow a soft delete of records from list objects, such as Customer, Account, and Vendor. In a soft delete, QBO does not delete the records, instead marks them as inactive by setting their active field to False. QuickBooks Online does not show these records in its UI.

Limitations

  • Hevo replicates the deleted data only for the Account object.

  • Hevo does not load data from a column into the Destination table if its size exceeds 16 MB, and skips the Event if it exceeds 40 MB. If the Event contains a column larger than 16 MB, Hevo attempts to load the Event after dropping that column’s data. However, if the Event size still exceeds 40 MB, then the Event is also dropped. As a result, you may see discrepancies between your Source and Destination data. To avoid such a scenario, ensure that each Event contains less than 40 MB of data.
