Understand the GL Entries tab in ConnectWise Invoice Search — what each field means and how account allocations flow to your accounting package.

GL Entries Tab in ConnectWise Invoice Search

The GL Entries tab appears on an invoice only after it reaches a closed status. It shows all account allocations ConnectWise generated for that invoice, based on your GL Accounts Setup Table configuration.

Each row in the list view represents one account allocation line. The columns are:

Batch IdThe batch ID for the invoice.

Field descriptions

Selecting a row opens the GL entry detail. The fields map directly to what gets sent to your accounting package.

Account Type — Indicates what kind of account to enter in the Account field. For revenue and expense items, this also identifies which part of ConnectWise the revenue or expense originates from, so you can route different revenue or expense types to different accounts.

Amount — Total amount of the time, product, or expense tied to this GL account on the invoice.

Description — The product description.

Account — The account number or account name from your accounting package. This must match exactly. If your accounting package uses multiple segments, you may see multiple Account fields depending on how many segments are configured in the Accounting Package Setup Table.

Class — The class from your accounting package. This field only applies when the Accounting Segments Type in the Accounting Package Setup Table includes a Class segment.

Product ID — A product ID from your accounting package. Required by some accounting packages, optional for others. Accounting packages that use this field reference it to identify items in the General Ledger for reporting. For QuickBooks: what you enter here appears in the Item column on QuickBooks invoices. Leaving it blank in time entries will leave the Item field blank on the QuickBooks invoice.

Cost — Total cost of the time, product, or expense associated with this GL account on the invoice.

Sales Code — Used only for Sage ERP integrations.

COGS — Cost of Goods Sold account number.

Inventory — Inventory account number.

Note: When batching a product that does not yet exist in your accounting package, ConnectWise uses the COGS, Cost, Sales Code, and Inventory fields to create the product. If the product already exists in your accounting package, your accounting package settings override the values shown here.
