How to Manually Sync Data Between QuickBooks Time and QuickBooks Online

As a small business owner, managing employee time sheets can be a daunting task. With QuickBooks 2018 Desktop, you have the option to use the QuickBooks Time feature to track employee hours worked. But did you know that you can manually sync data between QuickBooks Time and QuickBooks Online? In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to ensure seamless synchronization.

To manually force a sync in QuickBooks Time, start by clicking on the 'QuickBooks' or 'QuickBooks Payroll' button in the toolbar at the top of the QuickBooks Time window. This will show a drop-down menu of commands. From there, click on the 'Launch QuickBooks Time' button to open a new browser window that shows the QuickBooks Time application.

If you have a subscription through QuickBooks Online, you can also open QuickBooks Time by clicking on the 'Time' link in the Navigation Bar. This will take you directly to the QuickBooks Time interface.

QuickBooks Time and QuickBooks Online are designed to automatically sync information, so employees you enter in QuickBooks Online should automatically appear within QuickBooks Time. However, if you need to manually update your employee records or track time for a specific period, you can do so using the robust time tracking features available in QuickBooks Time.

Alternatively, if you don't have a subscription to QuickBooks Payroll, you can use basic time tracking to enter time in QuickBooks Online instead. To do this, simply log in to your QuickBooks Online account and navigate to the 'Time' page. From there, you can enter time for your employees and sync it with QuickBooks Time.

It's worth noting that Mac OS Monterey-Mojave users may need to use keyboard shortcuts to access certain features. For example, you can use Command + Shift + T to open a new window in QuickBooks Time.

By following these steps, you'll be able to manually sync data between QuickBooks Time and QuickBooks Online, ensuring accurate and up-to-date employee time sheets for your business.
