QuickBooks Sync History and Activity

Use run history and the activity log to see exactly what QuickBooks sync touched.

Run History vs. Activity Log

QuickBooks sync has two different views:

  • Run history shows high-level sync runs, such as a customer pull, item pull, payment pull, order push, or invoice push.
  • Activity log shows the specific records touched by those runs, including the local reference, QuickBooks reference, status, message, and error details when available.

Open the Activity Log

  1. Go to Integrations.
  2. Find the QuickBooks card.
  3. Open Activity log.
  4. Search by product, purchase order, invoice, payment, customer, or error text.
  5. Use the resource, direction, and status filters to narrow the list.
  6. Open a row's details to see the local reference, QuickBooks reference, run number, message, error, and metadata.

Activity Statuses

Status Meaning
Success The record was pulled, pushed, reconciled, or updated successfully.
Failure The record could not be synced. Open the details to see the error and fix the missing mapping or connection issue.
Skipped RetailReady inspected the record but did not need to create or update anything.

Use Sync Now

Use Sync now when you have just connected QuickBooks, fixed mappings, changed QuickBooks products/customers, or want to retry recent failures. Manual sync pulls QuickBooks customers, products, warehouses where available, and payments. It also queues eligible orders and invoices for push.

How to Investigate a Failed Push

  1. Open Activity log.
  2. Filter Status to failures.
  3. Search for the order number, invoice number, product name, or QuickBooks customer.
  4. Open the row details and read the message.
  5. If the issue is a missing customer or item mapping, fix it on Mappings.
  6. Run Sync now or wait for the next retry.
