    Tracking piecework in QuickBooks in TimeIPS V 1.6 and Later

    Limited support for piecework tracking is provided for QuickBooks by exporting selectable fields as numeric quantities. QuickBooks can be given jobs with an hourly rate equal to the per-unit rate and will see each unit completed as 1 hour, resulting in the correct per-piece pay on QuickBooks paychecks.

    See the "Tracking piecework specific to a Customer:Job:" section of the QuickBooks KnowledgBase article 1002957 (appears to be unavailable as of 9/2010) for details on configuring QuickBooks for piecework
