Consolidations must be "posted" to be entered into the General Ledger in Finale Inventory and thus to be synced into your QuickBooks account. Finale Inventory integrations run on an automated 60-minute cycle.
So, if you just "posted" a Consolidation it will show in your Quickbooks Online account the next time the integration runs. You can always go to the Integrations page and use the run task now feature on the QuickBooks Online integration
Remember if you chose the Consolidate sales feature when you enabled consolidation you will need to remember to go to the Consolidation list screen yourself and select the Consolidation transactions you wish to move from a "draft" status to a "posted" status. They will not post on their own or automatically.
If you choose the Consolidate and post sales feature when you enable consolidations Finale will automatically update the "draft" status transactions to "posted" status for you, one day after the frequency period selected for the consolidations.
You may also post the consolidation from the detail screen of the transaction.
If you change the status of a consolidation from "DRAFT" to "POSTED" and you change your mind, you may cancel the "posted" consolidation. If Finale Inventory has already synced it with your QuickBooks Online account, canceling it in Finale Inventory will reverse it out of your QuickBooks Online account.
If you change the status of a consolidation from "Draft" to "Posted" prior to the end of the consolidation frequency, Finale Inventory will automatically create a new secondary consolidation transaction in "draft " status and continue to add new transactions to it.
If you consolidate a sales source that has invoices in Finale Inventory, those invoices will not be synced as invoices into your QuickBooks. If you enabled consolidation for a source, you need Invoices synced to QuickBooks Online, you must turn off the consolidation for that source and go and cancel any consolidations for that source so that the invoices will be synced.
