Step 3: Mapping
Mapping matches the fields in QuickBooks to those in the imported file. Select the correct sheet if there are multiple sheets in the same file.
For example, your Excel sheet could have ‘acc number,’ which supposedly means ‘Account Number’ in QuickBooks fields.
The Preview Mapping feature lets you see how the fields will be matched in QuickBooks. Once you are done mapping, click ‘save and continue.’
Note: If you have trouble mapping using the file you have uploaded, you can always go back to the file upload page, download the ‘Sample template’ on the right side of the screen, and format your existing file based on the sample template to make things even easier.
Step 4: Review Data Before Import
Review the data mapped to avoid mistakes and ensure the accurate alignment of all details. SaasAnt Transactions facilitates data review and corrections, helping you identify and resolve errors. Upon confirming the data accuracy, click ‘Upload’ to import your PDF file into QuickBooks Online.
Step 5: Verifying the Imported File
Upon successful import, the uploaded transactions will appear with their reference number. Click on the reference number to verify whether that transaction has been uploaded into QuickBooks. You can also roll back (undo) the imported data if needed.
SaasAnt Transactions comes with innovative error resolution tools that help you if you encounter any issues. If there are errors, it’ll suggest ways to fix them, making the whole process effortless.
Note: SaasAnt Transactions also lets you bulk edit, delete, export, and modify your QucikBooks data so that you can keep your data up-to-date.
