Redpoint HQ supports importing accounting into both QuickBooks desktop and QuickBooks Online. Regardless of which one is used there is some setup to make sure that everything is mapping correctly.
You MUST contact Redpoint with your Quickbooks info to initiate the integration for Quickbooks Online
Set up Redpoint HQ for QuickBooks
QuickBooks
Revenue Accounts
Revenue Accounts within QuickBooks and Redpoint HQ must match (see below: Within Redpoint HQ > Revenue Sources)
- You can see the full name of the Revenue Account that you must match in QuickBooks by viewing your Chart of Accounts using the “Flat View” (Chart of Accounts > Account Button > Flat View)
- Redpoint HQ does not support different Revenue Account names per location (i.e. Location1:Day Pass, Location2:Day Pass); all locations will use the same Revenue Account name and locations will be tracked/reported using the Class name (see below: Within QuickBooks > Classes)
Deposit Accounts
Deposit Accounts within QuickBooks and Redpoint HQ must match (see below: Within Redpoint HQ > Payment Sources). This is typically a Bank Account or Undeposited Funds Account.
You can see the full name of the Bank Account or Undeposited Funds Account that you must match in QuickBooks by viewing your Chart of Accounts using the “Flat View” (Chart of Accounts > Account Button > Flat View)
Liability Account
Redpoint HQ requires an Other Current Liability type account called “Account Payment”.
This is to process the following types of transactions:
- Inter-Gym Payments (Common)
When an invoice at Gym A is paid for at Gym B an offsetting inter-gym ACCOUNT PAYMENT journal entry is created at each location for each gym. - Account Payment (Not Common)
A payment applied to a customer's account (not to an invoice) is possible, which creates a credit on file. This will be shown as ACCOUNT PAYMENT in the amount of the payment instead of a revenue account (because it is not tied to an invoice). At a later date, an inverse ACCOUNT PAYMENT will be created if someone pays for an invoice with a credit on file.
Other Income Account
Redpoint HQ requires an Other Income type account called “Other Income”.
This is to process the following types of transactions:
- Split Payment Rounding (Common)
When items are paid for in a split payment (i.e. credit card payment and applied credits) payment of line items and sales tax is calculated and prorated based on the percentage of the partial/split payment or credit applied. This can create a rounding difference since the invoice is partially paid for with one type of payment (credit) and the balance is paid for with the other type of payment (i.e. credit). This can create differences of $0.01 (typically because taxes or other small numbers may not split perfectly). This will be shown as OTHER INCOME, either as a positive or negative number. - Partial Payment Rounding (Not Common)
During a partial payment, rounding differences can happen, creating a $0.01 difference when the final payment is made (typically because taxes or other small numbers may not split perfectly). This will be shown as OTHER INCOME, either as a positive or negative number.
Classes
Redpoint HQ requires a class created and used in QuickBooks that matches the name of the Account Software Class Name in Redpoint HQ (even for single location facilities).
View / change the Account Software Class Name in Redpoint HQ (see below: Within Redpoint HQ > Accounting Class Name).
