Patriot Payroll to QuickBooks Desktop: IIF Journal Entry Guide
Patriot Payroll doesn't have a native journal entry integration with QuickBooks Desktop. QuickBooks Desktop uses the proprietary IIF (Intuit Interchange Format) for journal entry imports, and Patriot doesn't produce this format. Bookkeepers must either enter the journal entry manually or convert the Patriot report themselves.
How PostBooks connects Patriot to QuickBooks Desktop
- Download your Patriot payroll report. Export the payroll summary or journal entry report from Patriot Payroll as a CSV file.
- Upload to PostBooks and map accounts. PostBooks maps Patriot line items to your QuickBooks Desktop chart of accounts. Configure the mapping once and PostBooks applies it every pay run.
- Export as IIF file. PostBooks generates a valid IIF file you can import directly into QuickBooks Desktop via File > Utilities > Import > IIF Files.
