so I’m having another problem when creating the QB invoice. for the product/service it’s choosing Credit 1 instead of matching the product of the opportunity in SF.

example -

1 - here is my opportunity in SF (that has become a sale) - its for lapel pins

2 -  here is where its mapped in Zapier

3 - if I run a test the product does match (it always chooses credit 1) and that also seems to be adding a 1 in front of the quantity. the quantity for this opp is 200 not 1200 -  Also there is no rate (if i create manually with quantity and price QB will calc. and populate the rate)

Help fixing these 3 items would be much appreciated!

Hi @PinMaker 

Good question.

The Product/Service field expects a number, which is the internal QBO ID for the Product/Service, as indicated by the 123 next to the field label.

 

You may need to add these Zap steps:

 

 

Also, your Quantity field has a static 1 before the mapped variable, that you should probably remove.

 

And, in your example the Amount, which is required, has “No data” for the mapped variable.

Make sure to choose a record from Salesforce that has these values populated.

Thank you.

Firstly I didn't see the static “1” - that was easy fix :-)

I added find product in QB (step 4) - and that worked - thank you :-)

Lastly - it still does not populate the Rate field - any suggestions (usually an automatic calculation in QB)

We’d need to see updated screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured to have context, thanks.

Rate field is empty, perhaps that’s why.

I left it blank on purpose as QB usually calculates that (if I enter the quantity and price) when I create an invoice manually

@PinMaker 

Have you tested with a value populated in that field to see if the Rate populates into QBO?

@Troy Tessalone I don't have a rate field on SF opportunity to pass through (I could create one, but seems unnecessary when QB has the functionality built in).

I pass quantity & Amount - rate should be auto calculated/populated by QB i believe

Hey @PinMaker! If the rate isn’t being calculated by Quickbooks, you might try adding a formatter step beforehand to do a calculation of the rate using the price and quantity fields, and then use that result in the “rate” field. Does that sound like something that might work for you?
