- Click "Connect to Quickbooks" where you will then be prompted to enter Integration Details.

    - You’ll need to provide your QuickBooks "Client ID," "Client Secret," and "Realm ID." Not sure where to find these?[Follow this QuickBooks guide](https://developer.intuit.com/app/developer/qbo/docs/learn/learn-basic-field-definitions).

### **Step 4: Set Up Shipment ID in QuickBooks**

- Navigate to the setting icon in the upper left of QuickBooks
- In the drop down, choose 'Custom Fields and Lists'
- Add a new custom field and label in 'Shipment ID'
- In the data type option choose 'text'
- in the final step, select 'bill'; 'invoice'; and 'expense'

This will enable you to search records in QBO using your MVMNT Shipment ID

### **Step 3: Manage Your Contacts**

#### **Shippers as Customers**

- First Invoice Creation: When you invoice a shipper for the first time, they automatically become a “Customer” in QuickBooks.
- Linking Existing Customers: Already have the shipper in QuickBooks? Simply link them in the “MVMNT Customer Profile” to avoid duplicates.

#### **Carriers and Vendors as Vendors**

- First Payment: Upon making a payment to a carrier or vendor for the first time, they are added as a “Vendor” in QuickBooks.
- Linking Existing Vendors: If they're already in QuickBooks, just link them in the “MVMNT Carrier Profile” to avoid duplicates.

### **Step 4: Handling Accounts Payable (AP) and Receivable (AR)**

#### **Accounts Payable**

- Invoice to Bill: An AP Invoice in MVMNT becomes a Bill in QuickBooks.
- Payment Recording: Once the bill is paid in QuickBooks, MVMNT records the payment, updating the AP status to "Paid."

#### **Accounts Receivable**

- Invoice Creation: An AR Invoice in MVMNT translates into an Invoice in QuickBooks.
- Credit Memos: An invoice with a negative total becomes a Credit Memo in QuickBooks.
- Payment Application: Applying payment in QuickBooks records the payment in MVMNT, updating the invoice status accordingly.
