Integrations
Choose which accounting integrations your team can use. Turning one on adds its tools to the Backbone MRP desktop app; turning it off puts them away for everyone.
Turning an integration on or off
A company administrator opens Company Settings → Integrations, ticks the integrations the company uses, and clicks Save. The desktop app picks the change up the next time it is refreshed or restarted.
Turning an integration off hides its tools — the link panels, the export actions, and the QuickBooks columns on your lists. Nothing is deleted: links you have already made are kept, and turning the integration back on brings everything back as it was.
Go to Integrations for your company ↗QuickBooks Online
Links your customers, accounts, items, vendors and terms to QuickBooks Online, and exports invoices and vendor bills there. Works from Windows, macOS and Linux.
On first use the desktop app opens a sign-in window for your QuickBooks Online account.
QuickBooks Desktop
It is safe to turn this on company-wide even if only some of your workstations run Windows; the tools simply do not appear on the others, and nothing else in Backbone MRP is affected.
The first connection needs a few steps in a specific order, and QuickBooks’ authorization prompt is easy to miss — see the QuickBooks Desktop guide for setup and troubleshooting.
Free tier and paid features
Each integration is a separate paid feature, and each has its own free allowance: you may export 5 invoices through an integration before activating it. Re-exporting an invoice you have already sent does not count against that allowance.
A company that uses both integrations activates — and pays for — both. Activate them in Company Settings → Manage Features & Subscription.
