# Keeping correct QuickBooks account mapping on Titus proposals & invoices

## Get item-level income/expense account mapping in your QuickBooks reports (e.g. Profit & Loss) by adding line items from your QuickBooks catalog — not the Titus catalog.

#### **Summary**

#### When you create proposals or invoices in Titus, you can browse your product catalog to add line items. In the product catalog drawer, you will see 2 sections: **Quickbooks catalog** (if connected to QuickBooks) and Titus catalog. For an accurate item-level income/expense account mapping in Profit & Loss in QuickBooks, add items from your **QuickBooks catalog** — not the Titus catalog.

#### **How Titus catalog items sync**

Titus doesn't yet sync your Titus catalog item-by-item to QuickBooks. When an invoice with Titus-catalog or typed lines syncs to QuickBooks, Titus looks for a QuickBooks item named **"Services"** and maps **every** line to it:

- If a **"Services"** item already exists, Titus uses it as-is — whatever income and expense accounts it's currently mapped to.
- If it doesn't exist, Titus creates it, mapped to your first **Income** and first **Cost of Goods Sold** account.

Each line's name still appears on the QuickBooks invoice. The difference is in reporting: because these lines all post to the "Services" item's accounts, their revenue and costs show up under those accounts in your P&L.

#### **To ensure proper account mapping for QuickBooks sync**

1. In QuickBooks, confirm each item is mapped to the correct accounts.
2. In Titus, open the proposal or invoice editor and click **Browse catalog**.
3. The **QuickBooks catalog** section lists the items from your QuickBooks account.
4. Add items from the **QuickBooks catalog** — not the Titus catalog.
5. On sync, the QuickBooks invoice maps each line to its item and that item's accounts.

#### **Which to use**

| Goal | Use |
| --- | --- |
| When you want lines mapped to specific QuickBooks accounts. | QuickBooks Catalog |
| When you don't sync to QuickBooks, or don't need these lines broken out by account. | Titus catalog |
