Map Fields

Zoho CRM for QuickBooks gives you three types of Data Transfer options - Import, Export, Synchronization. Before importing, exporting or synchronizing data, you need to map the Zoho CRM fields with those of QuickBooks. The following table gives information on the Zoho CRM modules and the corresponding modules in QuickBooks.

Zoho CRM Module	QuickBooks Module
Contacts	Customers
Products	Items
Quotes	Estimates
Sales Orders	Sales Orders
Invoices	Invoices
Vendors	Vendors

Part 1: Select a Module

Select a Module for which you need to map the fields.

2. In the Zoho CRM for QuickBooks page, click Map Fields.
3. Choose any one of the following modules from the drop-down list for which you need to map fields.
   • Contacts
   • Products
   • Quotes
   • Sales Orders
   • Invoices
   • Vendors

Part 2: Choose Record Selection Option

Choose the appropriate option of transferring all the data or only the selected data.

1. Under Record Selection section, choose one of the following:
   • All Records - All the records that have been modified or created in the selected module, after the previous import/export/sync, will be transferred /updated when you perform data transfer.
   • Selected Records - Only certain records that have been modified or created in the selected module, after the previous import/export/sync, will be transferred /updated when you perform data transfer. You can select the records that are to be transferred/updated based on the Record Selection Criteriafield.
     • Select the field from the Record Selection Criteria drop-down list. Only the check box type fields in the module will be available in the drop-down list.

Part 3: Map Fields for the Module

Map the fields for each module

1. Map the Zoho CRM fields with the QuickBooks fields.
2. Select the Click Here option under Custom Fields in the drop-down list.
3. Enter the name of the custom field in the text box.
   Make sure that you enter the exact name of the custom field.
4. Click the Map More Fields link to map more fields.
5. Click Save.

You need to note the following, while mapping the fields:

• System Defined Mandatory Fields: In both Zoho CRM and QuickBooks, there are certain system-defined mandatory fields that need to be mapped. In Zoho CRM, you cannot make these fields as non-mandatory. For example, Last Name in Contacts, Product Name in Products. So, data transfer is not possible if these system-defined mandatory fields are not mapped properly.
• User Defined Mandatory Fields: There are also some fields that the user defines as mandatory. It is recommended that you map these fields too. In case these fields do not have any value, data will still be transferred. Later, when you edit the record in Zoho CRM, you will not be able to save the record, without specifying a value for the mandatory fields.
• Already Mapped Fields: Fields like Email, Product Name, Vendor Name etc. are already mapped and cannot be edited as it is important that they are mapped only with specific fields.
• Custom fields: You can map Zoho CRM fields with the QuickBooks custom fields. You need to select the Custom field option in the drop down list and specify the name of the field in the text box. Please note that the name of the field should be exactly as it is in QuickBooks, to avoid any errors in data transfer.

Checklist

Picklist Values - Make sure that all the values in a Pick List field are available in both Zoho CRM and QuickBooks.

Date Time Format -The Date field value in QuickBooks should be in YYYY-MM-DD format and Date&Time value should be in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format.

Field Length - While transferring data from Zoho CRM to QuickBooks, make sure that the length of the field value does not exceed that of the QuickBooks.
For example: Phone field length in Zoho CRM is 50 and in QuickBooks it is 21. In such cases, make sure that the length of the value does not exceed the QuickBooks field limit. An exception is when the Zoho CRM field is mapped with QuickBooks custom field.
