Step 3: Set Date Range

Choose the date type with two options: Created/Modified Date or Transaction Date.

Created/Modified Date refers to when the sales receipt was originally entered into QuickBooks or last edited.

Transaction Date is the business date on the sales receipt itself (for example, the date the sale was recorded).

Select a range using the custom date picker, or pick from quick options like Today, From yesterday, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, etc.

Step 4: Set Export Template

Use the default SaasAnt template for standard sales receipt fields.

To customize, click the “+” icon, select desired fields (for example: customer name, payment method, deposit to account, item or service lines, tax, amount, memo, class), name the template, and save it for reuse.

Step 5: Apply Filters (Optional)

Filters help you precisely target specific sales receipts, reducing the dataset for faster exports and better focus.

  • Account: Select one or more accounts related to the sales receipt posting (commonly the deposit to account such as Checking, Savings, or Undeposited Funds) to export only relevant receipts.

  • Customer: Filter by one or more customers to export sales receipts for specific clients.

  • Reference No: Use this to narrow results to specific sales receipts by reference number. You can also use the Operation field to control how the reference value is matched.

To apply a filter:

  • Choose the filter on the left, select the value, then click Add or Update Filter.

  • Your applied filters appear under Current Filter Choices.

  • To remove one filter, select it and click Remove Selected Filter.

  • To remove everything, click Clear Filters.

Step 6: Adjust Settings

Customize the export output via settings to match your reporting or integration needs.

  • Date Format: Switch between formats like MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY for compatibility with other systems.

  • Show Customer/Vendor by Account Number: Display customer IDs instead of names for reference-based matching.

  • Show Transaction Lines: Include detailed sales receipt line items (items, quantities, rates) or export only summary-level data.

  • Show Account Numbers: Add numeric account codes alongside names for cleaner review and reconciliation.

Toggle settings on or off as needed.
