Change Orders to QuickBooks Estimate

Table of contents

Once a Change Order is approved, the items on the Change Order (additions and deletions) can be exported to QuickBooks as a new Estimate or they can be exported to an existing QuickBooks Estimate.

 

Note: You can only push over a Change Order to a new QuickBooks Estimate if the net value of the Change Order is positive. If the net value is negative, your only option is to push the Change Order to an existing Estimate.

 

For full details on pushing an Estimate to QuickBooks, click here. This page will focus on what happens when you add to an existing QuickBooks Estimate.
