Once a change order is approved, the items on the change order (additions and deletions) can be exported to QuickBooks as a new estimate or exported to an existing QuickBooks estimate.

You can only push over a change order to a new QuickBooks estimate if the net value of the change order is positive. If the net value is negative, your only option is to push the change order to an existing estimate.

Open the approved change order from the Change Orders tab at the bottom of the Project Explorer interface.

The Add to Existing Estimate form will open.

Here, you can review the changes you are about to send to QuickBooks and change the description of the change order.
