When integrated, Ricochet can seamlessly send sales data and payout information to QuickBooks.
Daily Sales Summary Data
Where’s the data coming from?
Early each morning, much of the data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is transferred to QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Where’s the data going?
Much of the data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is transferred to QBO by creating and populating the following three transaction types:
Invoice
Revenue data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is populated in a QBO invoice, broken out by product category. Discount, tax, shipping, layaway, and non-monetary tender data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is also populated.
No customer data is populated in QBO because the sales data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is summarized on a single QBO invoice. This integration does not allow a QBO invoice to be created and populated for each Ricochet POS sales transaction.
This integration does not populate the discount, tax, shipping, or deposit fields toward the bottom of the QBO invoice. Instead, that type of data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is populated in the body of the QBO invoice. Populating this type of data in the body of the QBO invoice ensures that the data is accurately recorded in QBO, regardless of the QBO settings for those fields.
Customer Payment(s)
Monetary tender type data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is populated in one or more QBO customer payments. One QBO customer payment is created for each monetary tender type from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS. Monetary tender types include cash, check, credit/debit, PayPal, Venmo, etc. Non-monetary tender data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is populated in the body of the invoice (see above).
No customer data is populated in QBO because monetary tender data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is summarized on a single QBO customer payment for each monetary tender type. This integration does not allow a QBO customer payment to be created and populated for each Ricochet POS sales transaction.
The “Deposit to” account on the QBO customer payment is undeposited funds. Utilizing undeposited funds, allows QBO users to create individual QBO bank deposits from multiple QBO customer payments.
Journal Entry
If this integration feature is activated in Ricochet POS, consignor amount, store inventory cost, and store purchase cost data from the previous day’s “Sales Summary Report” in Ricochet POS is populated in a QBO journal entry.
What QBO lists are affected?
The daily sales summary data integration creates new QBO list items with a prefix of “Rico--”. Creating new QBO list items with a prefix of “Rico--” makes it clear exactly which QBO list items are being created and utilized by the integration. The following three lists are affected by the daily sales summary data integration:

Consignor Payout Data
Where’s the data coming from?
Payout data is coming from the “Payouts” portion of the “Actions” section in Ricochet POS. The related consignor data is coming from the “Consignors” portion of the “Accounts” section in Ricochet POS. Consignor payout data is only transferred to QBO when payouts are run in Ricochet POS using the “QuickBooks” option.
Where’s the data going?
Ricochet POS consignor payout data is transferred to QBO by creating and populating QBO bills. One QBO bill is created and populated for each consignor payout run in Ricochet POS.
What QBO lists are affected?
The consignor payout data integration creates new QBO vendors. Existing QBO vendors with emails matching Ricochet POS consignors' emails will be utilized, to avoid duplicate vendors being created in QBO. When running consignor payouts in Ricochet POS, the QBO account selected will populate the QBO category field within each QBO bill. If utilizing the journal entries feature of the Ricochet POS daily sales summary data QBO integration, it is highly recommended that the QBO other current liability account “Rico--Consignor Liability” be selected as the QBO account when running consignor payouts in Ricochet POS.
