# QuickBooks Configuration Reference

> Estimate, Customer, Item, Vendor, account, and freight write-back mappings.

Owlery inspects the connected QuickBooks company, proposes the accounting mappings, and maintains the approved configuration.

<Info>
  Your team does not need to assemble these IDs before discovery. Owlery recommends the mapping and asks you to confirm the accounting result.
