Product Hierarchy in QuickBooks and Salesforce

Product Hierarchy in Salesforce & QuickBooks Integration

• If you use Product Hierarchy in QuickBooks, then Salesforce needs to be updated to support product hierarchy. A Screenshot for product hierarchy in QuickBooks is shown below.

• In the previous screenshot DBSync is the parent for SF2QBDesktop and SF2QBOnline. Now if you generate an invoice in QuickBooks with DBSync and SF2QBDesktop, Item Name for DBSync remains DBSync but for SF2QBDesktop it is shown as DBSync: SF2QBDesktop. A screenshot for the same is shown below.

• If this invoice is moved to Salesforce Opportunity, then product is migrated with the parent Name into Salesforce.
