QuickBooks Online doesn’t have a sales order record like many ERPs. Instead, Owlery links each Owlery order to a QuickBooks Estimate, and that Estimate stands in for the customer order on the accounting side.

Estimates

Owlery reads the Estimate’s ID, status, Items, SKU or description, quantity, unit price, and amount. The linked Owlery order retains its originating facilities, customer, and operational context. Owlery reads Estimate lines as cases. Owlery confirms whether this matches your item model during discovery.
Owlery does not import every unrelated QuickBooks Estimate as a new freight order. The workflow synchronizes Estimates that match an originating Owlery order.

Reliability

Each sync pulls only the Estimates and Items that changed since the last one, and Owlery paces its requests to QuickBooks. When you delete an Estimate or Item in QuickBooks, Owlery picks up the deletion. Data from one QuickBooks company never mixes with another’s.
QuickBooks only shares the last 30 days of changes. If a connection is paused for longer, it needs a full sync to catch up.

Authentication

A QuickBooks administrator approves Owlery’s access and selects the company to connect. Owlery keeps that access current automatically. See Connect QuickBooks Online to Owlery.
