Please Note:

  • If you want to update a time entry on QuickBooks that is already associated with an invoice, you must:
  1. Remove that time entry from the invoice
  2. Let the data sync into QuickBooks from Mosaic
  3. Re-add that time entry to your invoice
  • If you want to update a time entry on QuickBooks in a period where your books are closed, you must:
  1. Reopen your books for that period
  2. Let the data sync into QuickBooks from Mosaic
  3. Close the books again if you wish

Q: Do I need to approve time entries for them to sync?

  • No, Mosaic syncs time entries to and from QuickBooks regardless of their approval status.

Q: Do I need to create phases for my Mosaic projects if I'm expecting to see time entries organized by my service items on QuickBooks?

  • No, you should not create phases on Mosaic. Your time entries will be organized into a work category corresponding to your service item.
  • You should also not create phases on Mosaic if your project does not have any sub-sub-customers/phases on QuickBooks and your time entries are coming from QuickBooks to Mosaic.

Q: I have moved my time entries to a new project on Mosaic, why am I still seeing time entries in the old project on QuickBooks?

  • For time to move out of QuickBooks you need to have the internal (Mosaic) project also linked with a project on QuickBooks. Mosaic does not delete time entries on QuickBooks if the new project is not linked.
