  1. Sync data

  • Expense bills will be created in QuickBooks Online against the Multiplier vendor.

  • Bills can be mapped to common GLs or department-specific GLs based on your setup.

Configure Mapping

Configure mapping to ensure the data is synced properly.

  1. Prepare for Integration

  • Fill in the GL Template file with the required details of GL accounts and their respective invoice line item mappings.

  • Filter out irrelevant line items (e.g., EOR customers should only map EOR-specific invoice line items).

  • Collaborate with the Multiplier implementation team to finalize the mapping and setup.

  1. Set Up Vendor in QuickBooks

  • Add Multiplier as a vendor in your QuickBooks instance.

  • Provide the details of the vendor setup to the Multiplier team.

  1. Define Preferences for Invoice Breakdown

  • Map invoice line items to preferred GLs.

  • Optionally categorize invoices by department or use common GLs across the company.

  1. Monitor and Manage Changes

  • Expense bills will be marked as “PAID” in QuickBooks once reconciled on the Multiplier platform.

  • Notify the implementation team about any changes to mapped configurations.

  • Note that changes made directly in QuickBooks will not reflect on the Multiplier platform.

  1. Test and Go Live

  • After mapping is completed, the implementation team will perform a test run.

  • Once verified, the integration will be marked as live.

Key Notes

  • The integration setup typically takes 2-3 weeks to implement.

  • For discrepancies in expense bills or invoices, contact Multiplier support at [email protected]
