How do I map the shipping cost and what the customer paid in QuickBooks?

Connex can send either the shipping the customer paid or your shipping cost to QuickBooks. As a workaround, you can enter your costs in bulk:

1. Obtain a statement of how much your costs were for a month. In this example, we accumulated $100 for shipping costs in a month.
2. Log into QuickBooks.
3. Go to lists > item list.
4. Find your shipping item.
5. Assign a shipping income account:
6. Go to vendors > enter bills.
7. Enter a bill for the costs. Choose an account for the expense and enter the full amount.
8. Save the bill.
9. In QuickBooks, go to reports > company and financial > profit and loss standard.
10. View your report. Notice the shipping income and the shipping costs accounts.
