QuickBooks EDI Integration FAQ

Common questions from businesses considering EDI integration with QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Enterprise.

Yes. SBSA Technology, an Intuit Silver Partner, supports full EDI integration for both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Enterprise. QuickBooks Online connects through Intuit's secure cloud API, while QuickBooks Enterprise uses a local connector installed alongside your company file. Both deliver the same automated order-to-cash workflow — EDI purchase orders in, invoices and ASNs out.

SBSA automates the full transaction lifecycle: inbound EDI 850 Purchase Orders become QuickBooks Sales Orders or Estimates, outbound EDI 855 Acknowledgments and 856 ASNs are generated from your QuickBooks fulfillment data, and EDI 810 Invoices are created automatically in QuickBooks and transmitted back to the trading partner. Optional transactions like 820 remittance and 846 inventory advice can also be configured.

Yes. As EDI orders are processed and shipped through QuickBooks, inventory quantities update in real time. This prevents overselling and keeps stock levels accurate across every sales channel and trading partner connected to your QuickBooks company file.

Most QuickBooks Online integrations are completed within 2-4 weeks, including trading partner testing and go-live validation. QuickBooks Enterprise integrations may take slightly longer depending on the complexity of your company file, advanced inventory setup, and the number of trading partners being connected.

In most cases, no. SBSA maps incoming EDI transactions to your existing Chart of Accounts, item list, and customer records as they already exist in QuickBooks. If gaps are identified during onboarding — such as missing item codes for a specific trading partner — SBSA recommends minimal, targeted additions rather than restructuring your existing setup.

SBSA supports AS2, SFTP, and EDI VAN connections to your trading partners. Regardless of which protocol your trading partner requires, all translated EDI documents are synced directly into QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Enterprise — there's no manual file handling on your end.
