This article applies to:

This integration has been retired for all new customers. Existing customers are encouraged to check their data since there could be some inconsistencies. We will be updating with a new integration as soon as possible.

The Infusionsoft All Sales Report produces a list of orders based on the search criteria you set and the All Payments Report produces a list of all payments (e.g. check, credit card, etc.) and credits applied manually or during a refund process. You need to export both reports to update QuickBooks. The Sales Reports creates debits in QuickBooks. The All Payments Report applies credits in QuickBooks. If you only import the All Sales Report, your Accounts Receivable will be too high since payments and credits will not be applied.
