Mapping Line Items from Rabbet to QuickBooks Online
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), having multiple charts of accounts may be necessary for businesses that operate in different segments, have separate legal entities, or need distinct accounting structures for various reasons. To identify line items once they are posted to QBO, it is necessary to identify the specific Chart of Accounts you are currently using by determining the Chart of Accounts ID number.
Note: There may be multiple Chart of Accounts for each property.
Locating your Chart of Accounts
You can access your Chart of Accounts two different ways via QuickBooks Online.
1. By using the search option on the top right hand side of QuickBooks Online.
2. Navigating via the Panel on the left - towards the bottom select Account -> Chart of Accounts.
3. Click on a line item then navigate to your browser URL. At the end of the URL you will see "accountid=" after the "=" you will see a number. That number is the ID associated with that Chart of Accounts. *See example below.
Note: The QuickBooks Online interface does not provide visibility or access to this ID. The URL is the only way for the user to retrieve this information at this time.
