QuickBooks Desktop Features and Integration Requirements

Dimensions

Supported Dimensions

• Class
• Customer/Job
• Items
• Martus-only dimension, typically Department, used when the Chart of Accounts is structured by department rather than natural. 

Dimension Setup 

Class

• Martus supports Class as a dimension. 
• All class names must be unique, including any inactive classes. 

Customer/Job

• Martus supports the Customer/Job as a dimension within QuickBooks Desktop. All customer/job names must be unique, including any that are inactive. 

Items 

• Martus supports Items as a dimension within QB Desktop. All item names must be unique, including any that are inactive. 

Departmentalizing the Chart of Accounts If the Chart of Accounts is not natural, departments can be created within Martus and assigned to accounts to provide budgeting and reporting by department.

Accounts

• Account numbers must be used in QuickBooks, including on all parent accounts. 
• Any account that does not have an account number will not be recognized in Martus. Note that it is not sufficient to include the account number within the name in QuickBooks; it must be in the account number field. 

Equity Accounts and Fund Balance Reporting

Martus supports the use of Equity accounts for Fund Balance Reporting.  Note that feature is not activated by default; it must be turned on by Martus Support.
