Transfer Procore Timecard Entries to QuickBooks® Desktop

Objective

To transfer time entries from the Company level Timesheets to QuickBooks® Desktop. 

Background

If your company processes its payroll using QuickBooks® Desktop, you can transfer the time entries from Procore's Company level Timesheets tool using a simple file export process by following these steps:

For QuickBooks® Desktop (2022 or after)

  1. Configure the Timesheets tool's payroll settings for QuickBooks®
  2. Export Time Entries from Procore to Import into QuickBooks® Desktop
  3. Import Procore Time Entries into QuickBooks® Desktop

For QuickBooks® Desktop with Quickbooks® Time (2021 or earlier)

  1. Export a preformatted Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) file from the QuickBooks® system where you intend to transfer your Procore data.
  2. Configure the Timesheets tool's payroll settings for QuickBooks®. 
  3. Import the IIF file from QuickBooks® into Procore's Company level Timesheets tool. 
  4. Export Time Entries from Procore to Import into QuickBooks® Desktop
  5. Import Procore Time Entries into QuickBooks® Desktop
 Note
  • The IIF file provides the data structure that Procore needs to ensure that transferred data is formatted as required in QuickBooks®. Your IIF file must match this structure:
    • Cost Codes Numbering
    • Cost Codes Format
    • Time Types (QuickBooks® Payroll Item)
    • Employee Names
    • Customer Names
    • Job Names
  • Technical support or assistance for creating or importing an Intuit Interchange Format (IIF) file is NOT provided. It is recommended that you always create a backup of your IIF file in case you need to reference it later. 
  • Transferring time entries from Procore is a separate function and does NOT require the Procore + QuickBooks® Connector.
