The service or identification of service on an invoice is dictated by what is selected in the Integration Settings for QuickBooks in LeanLaw. This will ensure that all of your invoices created in LeanLaw are mapped to the proper income account on the general ledger. It can also ensure proper sales tax on legal services, if required by the state (for example, HI, SD, NM) the firm is practicing in.
