QuickBooks Time Specific Features and Limitations

Skyvia has the following limitations for QuickBooks Time:

  • In the Data Integration product, QuickBooks Time connections are supported only for packages, which use a new data integration runtime.

    Make sure that the Use new runtime checkbox is selected on the tab bar if you want to use QuickBooks Time in your package.

  • Skyvia supports DML operations for the following QuickBooks Time objects:
    • INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE: Timesheets.
    • INSERT, UPDATE: CustomFieldItems, CustomFields, Groups, Jobcodes, Locations, Reminders, ScheduleEvents, TimeOffRequestEntries, TimeOffRequests, Users.
    • INSERT, DELETE: JobcodeAssignments, Notifications.
    • INSERT: Geolocations.
  • Skyvia supports Replication with Incremental Updates for most QuickBooks Time objects except EffectiveSettings, LastModifiedTimestamps.
  • Skyvia supports Synchronization for such QuickBooks Time objects as CustomFieldItems, CustomFields, Groups, Jobcodes, Locations, Reminders, ScheduleEvents, Timesheets, TimeOffRequests, TimeOffRequestEntries, Users.

  • Timesheets object and its peculiarities. Since there are two types of timesheets (manual and regular) in the Timesheets object, each has its own required fields for import, and common required fields for both types.

    In Skyvia’s metadata, common fields have a required attribute, but the fields, required depending on the type, are not defined as required. That is why you need to specify the required fields based on the timesheet type yourself; otherwise, you will receive an error when loading data to QuickBooks Time timesheets.

  • TimeOffRequests object and its peculiarities. When importing data to the TimeOffRequests object, provide values for the TimeOffRequestEntries field as JSON array, for example:

    1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

    "time_off_request_entries": [{

"date": "2020-09-20",

"entry_method": "manual",

"duration": 28800,

"jobcode_id": 4057357

}]

    as well as values for the TimeOffRequestNotes field as such JSON array:

    1

    [{"note": "Taking a two day weekend to go on vacation."}]

  • Reminders object and its peculiarities. The data in the Reminders object is displayed by default with UserId=0.

    To get information about reminders for other users, you can filter data by the UserIds field. This field is of the String type and, as a filter value for it, you can specify several user id values separated by commas (for example, 2886910,2886474,2886548).

    When reading records of the Reminders object, the UserId field remains always empty since it is used only for filtering.
