Neos QuickBooks SDK Integration

The QuickBooks SDK Accounting Integration with Needles Neos is a direct bidirectional link between the Needles Neos data and the QuickBooks database. When using this integration, You will be able to request checks, enter deposits, and enter time entries in Needles that will link to your QuickBooks data.

The Neos QuickBooks integration allows you to send Names (Providers and Parties), check requests and deposit requests from Neos to QuickBooks.

Neos sends the data to the Neos QB Integrator then the user will post Names, Checks, and Deposits from the Integrator to QB (similar to Export window in previous versions).
