Creating QuickBooks Invoices from Sales Orders
- After creating a Sales Order, Navigate to the Invoice section of the Sales Order or the Sales Order side panel.

- You will then be prompted to select the QuickBooks Company you would like to connect and create the invoice in. Select the QuickBooks Company from the drop down menu, select Continue
Selecting a company is required in order to populate the QBO customers and line items to choose from. If you skipped selecting a company, retry creating a QBO invoice to select a company before moving on.

Note: If creating a new QuickBooks Customer, Canix will save the association of the Company and Facility to this Customer to be used the next time you send an invoice to that customer. - Assign QuickBooks Items to each Item on your Sales Order using the Select QBO Item link seen below the Canix item. Search and select existing QBO Items or create a new OBO Item. Once an Item is associated, select Submit. Complete this process for all Items on the Invoice.
- "Associate with this Canix Item for future Invoices" - Next time this Item is listed on an Invoice for this particular QBO company it will associate with this Canix Item.
