Invoices mirrored into the books on send

Sending an invoice mirrors it into the builder's accounting package so they have a copy and can collect through it, and a failure never blocks the platform send.

What it is

An idempotent push: once an accounting invoice id is recorded on the platform invoice, it is never re-created. It resolves the accounting customer, reads the account's default item mapping, and records both a sync-log row and an error field on the invoice when something goes wrong.

Also called: push invoice to QuickBooks · invoice in my accounting · ACH through QuickBooks · push invoice to quickbooks · invoice in my books · accounting copy of the invoice

Signature
An invoice row with a QuickBooks sync chip (synced / error with a retry). Rendered by src/components/quickbooks/QbSyncStatusChip.tsx. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Send is pressed on a platform invoice.
  2. 2If an accounting invoice id already exists, the push is a no-op.
  3. 3The accounting customer is resolved or created.
  4. 4The account's mapped default item carries the invoice total.
  5. 5Failure writes an error onto the invoice and a sync-log row; the platform send still completes.
Why we built it

The module header states the design and its non-blocking posture: 'on platform Send, mirror our invoice into the builder's QuickBooks so they have a copy and can send it for payment via QB (QB has ACH built in). Idempotent — once invoices.quickbooks_invoice_id is set we never re-create. Best-effort: a failure here never blocks the platform send.'

The problem
  • Invoices had to be re-entered into accounting manually.
  • An accounting outage would otherwise block sending an invoice to a customer.
  • Retries could have created duplicate accounting invoices.
