Run an Initial Sync

2 min read

After the objects are mapped and you have tested individual records for each object that is being integrated run an initial sync to load your baseline data between QuickBooks Online and Salesforce.

CRITICAL
The order that data is imported from QuickBooks to Salesforce (or vice versa) matters. If the order that data is synced isn’t properly planned and executed the integration will produce a number of errors that will need to be resolved. For example, before payments can be loaded in Salesforce the related invoices need to be loaded. But, before invoices can be loaded the related customers need to be present. In this case the optimal order for the initial sync from QuickBooks to Salesforce is Items, Customers, then Invoices, and finally, Payments.

Run Your Initial Sync from QuickBooks

Navigate to the Accord Admin tab in Accord Sync app. Click on the Sync tab and select the Sync Options From QuickBooks to Salesforce.
Check the QuickBooks Objects that will be synced to Salesforce from the available objects. The order in which you check each QuickBooks Object will be the order the data will be loaded to Salesforce. However, Salesforce Platform Events do not have a guaranteed order of execution, so in large quantities the individual records can be synced out of order from what is selected here. You should run syncs for any dependent objects later after all of the dependencies have synced.
Click the Sync Now button.
After completing the initial sync, review the error and success log. Click the Accord Log Viewer tab in the system, review any errors that occurred during the sync, resolve the errors and re-sync your data.
