Finale Inventory's QuickBooks Online integration with your QuickBooks account will be controlled by an Enable date filter and sync period. The Enable Date (formerly known as Filter Start Date in the UI)
If specified, the transaction filter date limits the transactions that will be pushed from Finale Inventory to QuickBooks Online as follows:
Posted transactions are created in QuickBooks Online if the record date of the Finale Inventory transaction is on or after the Enable date
Pending and canceled transactions are deleted from QuickBooks Online if they were previously pushed by Finale Inventory and they are canceled on or after this date in Finale Inventory
This filter is useful when QuickBooks Online has closed accounting periods you do not want to affect.

How it works:
-
If the Sync Period is set to any value other than "from the enable date":
A dynamic date is calculated based on the selected option.If the Enable Date is not set, only transactions with
record dategreater than or equal to the calculated date will be synced.Example: If the sync period is "beginning of the previous month" and the Enable Date is empty, only transactions with
record_date >= 2025-03-01will be synced.
-
If both Sync Period and Enable Date are set:
The sync task uses the most recent (maximum) of the two dates.Example: If the Sync Period is "beginning of the previous month" and the Enable Date is
2025-03-15, only transactions withrecord_date >= 2025-03-15will be synced.
-
If the Sync Period is set to "from the enable date":
Only the Enable Date is used to determine the filter start date.This replicates the previous behavior in production.
If the Enable Date is empty, all transactions will be considered for syncing.
