Answer

You can use the Timesheet Importing feature to import the timesheet data stored within your QuickBooks Online platform.

Warning

Timesheets will only flow from the HR platform to your Payroll platform, i.e. this data connection is not bidirectional, and any timesheet submissions made in the Payroll platform will not flow through to your HR platform. We advise you to submit any timesheet via the HR platform's Timesheet feature.

Uploading a QuickBooks Online data file

Click the Timesheet menu.
Click the Import Timesheets submenu.
Select the QuickBooks option in the Import Timesheets drop-down.
Complete the following fields:
- Date range.
- Approve timesheets.
Helpful Hint

The Approve Timesheets option allows you to choose whether the platform automatically approves the timesheets being imported or whether they need to go through your organisation's timesheet approval workflow.
Click the Import button.

Helpful Hint

You will now see on your screen a status message showing the successful uploading of your QuickBooks data into your payroll platform.
