Before connecting your QuickBooks to Field Service Management you should remember these points:-

Determine which type of customer you are dealing in QuickBooks:

In FSM, it supports two types of customers i.e. residential or commercial. In FSM, the commercial customer has a field for the company and the residential customer doesn’t have any field. You have to make all changes before creating and importing them into FSM. Because after this you can’t correct the customer type.

Synchronization errors:

The sync will not be complete If there is an error that exists related to billing or ship address. It means that a customer can’t sync to FSM until you do not fix the record. Here you will receive the message about which record is not synced and why. After this, you can simply correct the record.

Multiple office locations:

you have to contact multiple work zones. The setup must complete correctly. Because you don’t have any other opportunity. You can also take help from the local expert to assist you.

Intuit Field Service Management from QuickBooks:

FSM fetches the information from the Quickbooks fields. These fields are “Bill To” which contains bill information and “Ship To” which contains service/ site address. Sometimes both the entries are the same. In this situation, you have to make entries in both fields. Suppose the Ship To field is left then there will not be any address in FSM for those customers.

Some common issues faced by customers are-

• Login issue with Intuit Field Service Management

• Configuration
