When we start with the GL process to QuickBooks, there may be problems with mappings (errors get both emailed and visible on the screen) and thus re-importing to the GL will need to occur. This can be a BIG problem because the accountant will have to go back into the their QB and remove/delete the errant postings, or re-import via the QB.BookingCenter.com area and that can create duplicate GL entries. To make this easier for customers, BookingCenter has a tool to enable a re-import for a specific date (note, it's always the 'System Date' that lols the JSON for import - and thus will equal that System Date'
ss Transaction Summary report
). The tool allows a user to select which Items they want imported. But the Log is always the 'clock date' the QuickBooks actually imported in Pacific time, which is often differer than the hotel's SysteDate). The Import tool allows a user to select which Items they want imported, avoiding duplicating GL entries already made for that System Date.
When using a Date for the Import Tool, simply de-select those mapping areas you DO NOT want to re-import to QB form that date.
In addition, when you are using the "BookingCenter to Your GL, each day an email summary will be sent to your 'billing email' address that summarizes what was posted to QuickBooks, and looks as follows:
