How do I track the application of vendor credits?
When applying a vendor credit in Bill.com, the application will sync back to QuickBooks Online based on payment status of the bill.
How do I stop bills/invoices syncing from QuickBooks Online?
By default, transactions have a 2-way sync. If you want them to sync only from Bill.com to QuickBooks Online, please contact Customer Support.

Documents do not sync between Bill.com and QuickBooks Online. You will want to upload those documents to your Bill.com inbox and link them to the bills.
How and where do I sync?
- Hover over the sync icon at the top of any Bill.com page
- Select Sync Now
When syncing, do I have to sit and watch?
You can leave the sync screen at any time and continue to work in Bill.com. The sync icon at the top of the page in Bill.com will show your sync progress.
Do I need to sync manually every time?
- While you can sync manually at any time, you can turn on auto-sync and the sync will automatically run. We suggest syncing at least once daily to ensure QuickBooks Online and Bill.com are up-to-date, and financial reports are accurate.
To turn on Auto Sync:
- Select settings
- Under Sync, select Preferences
- Select the edit icon
- Select Sync Automatically
- Select Save

- Partially or Fully applied Credit Memos
- Do not sync for accounts signed up for before 1/15/19
- 1-way from Bill.com to QuickBooks Online for accounts signed up for after 1/15/19
Note: Credit memo application, that partially pays an invoice, will not sync until the invoice is paid in full
Why aren't the payments I record in QuickBooks Online syncing to Bill.com?
For accounts created under accountant consoles or signed up before 9/15/17, payments only sync in one direction, from Bill.com to QuickBooks Online by default. Payments recorded in QuickBooks Online won't sync over to Bill.com, unless you enable the option to sync 2-ways in sync preferences.
