# Sync Bill Attachments Directly to QuickBooks Desktop

For all bills synced to QuickBooks, MakersHub will create a $0 item labeled "MakersHub Bill Record." This item includes a link to a URL where the bill’s PDF attachment can be accessed.

For users that would prefer to sync over the bill attachment as a pdf file, this article we will walk through how to download and have QuickBooks attach the invoices to the respective bills in QuickBooks. Please note this feature is only available for QuickBooks Desktop users.

## Syncing Bill Attachments to QuickBooks Desktop

Go to **Your Name** in the upper right corner and click **Integrations.**

Go to the **Integration Data** tab, make sure **Sync Bill Attachments** is turned on, and **copy the file location** located to the left of the **Sync Bill Attachments** button. This is where QuickBooks keeps track of bill attachments.

Go to **Financial** then **Account Payable** Tab. Once bills/receipts are synced with the Web Connector, you will see a **double-checkmark icon** next to the vendor name, indicating that records are in sync.

Save the zip file in the QuickBooks attachment folder you copied earlier, and extract its contents directly to that folder.
