-# Redmine QuickBooks Online
+# Redmine QuickBooks Online Plugin
 
-A plugin for Redmine to connect to QuickBooks Online.
+A plugin for **Redmine** that integrates with **QuickBooks Online (QBO)** to automatically create **Time Activity entries** from billable hours logged on Issues.
 
-The goal of this project is to allow Redmine to connect with QuickBooks Online to create Time Activity Entries for billable hours logged when an Issue is closed.
+When an Issue associated with a Customer is closed, the plugin generates corresponding Time Activities in QuickBooks based on the Redmine Time Entries recorded for that Issue.

-## Features
+---
 
-* **Customer Assignment:** Issues can be assigned to a Customer via a dropdown in the edit Issue form.
-    * Once a customer is attached to an Issue, you can attach an Estimate to the issue via a dropdown menu.
-* **Employee Mapping:** An Employee is assigned to a Redmine User via a dropdown in the User Administration page.
-* **Automatic Billing:** If an Issue has been assigned a Customer, the following happens when the Issue is closed:
-    * A new Time Activity will be billed against the Customer assigned to the issue for each Redmine Time Entry.
-    * Time Entries will be totalled up by Activity name. This allows billing for different activities without having to create separate Issues.
-    * The Time Activity names are used to dynamically lookup Items in QuickBooks.
-    * If there are no Items that match the Activity name, it will be skipped and will not be billed to the Customer.
-    * Labor Rates are set by the corresponding Item in QuickBooks.
-* **Customer Management:** Customers can be created via the New Customer Page.
-    * Customers can be searched by name or phone number.
-    * Basic information for the Customer can be viewed/edited via the Customer page.
-* **Webhook Support:**
-    * **Invoices:** Automatically attached to an Issue if a line item contains a hashtag number (e.g., `#123`).
-    * **Custom Fields:** Invoice Custom Fields are matched to Issue Custom Fields and are automatically updated in QuickBooks. (Useful for extracting Mileage In/Out from the Issue to update the Invoice).
-    * **Sync:** Customers are automatically updated in the local database.
-* **Plugin View Hooks** Allows intergration of other features supported by companion plugins, for example [redmine_qbo_vehicles](https://github.com/rickbarrette/redmine_qbo_vehicles) adds customer vehicle interation

-**Note:** After the initial synchronization, this plugin will receive push notifications via Intuit's webhook service.   
+## Automatic Time Activity Creation
 
-## Companion Plugin Hooks
-* :pdf_left, { issue: issue }
-* :pdf_right, { issue: issue }
-* :process_invoice_custom_fields, { issue: issue, invoice: invoice } 
-* :show_customer_view_right, {customer: @customer}
+When an Issue with an assigned Customer is closed:
+
+*   A **Time Activity** is created in QuickBooks for each relevant Redmine Time Entry.
+    
+*   Time Entries are **grouped by Activity name**.
+    
+*   Activity names are used to **dynamically match Items in QuickBooks**.
+    
+*   If no matching Item exists, the activity is **skipped**.
+    
+*   **Labor rates** are determined by the associated QuickBooks Item.
+    
+
+---
+
+## Employee Mapping
+
+Redmine Users can be mapped to **QuickBooks Employees** through the **User Administration** page.
+
+This ensures Time Activities are recorded under the correct employee in QuickBooks.
+
+---
+
+## Customer Management
+
+The plugin provides basic Customer management:
+
+*   Create Customers directly from Redmine
+    
+*   Search Customers by **name or phone number**
+    
+*   View and edit Customer information
+    
+
+Customers are synchronized with QuickBooks.
+
+---
+
+## Webhook Support
+
+The plugin listens for **QuickBooks webhook events**.
+
+Supported automation:
+
+### Invoice Linking
+
+Invoices containing an Issue reference (e.g. `#123`) automatically attach to the corresponding Issue.
+
+### Custom Field Synchronization
+
+Invoice custom fields can be mapped to Issue custom fields.
+
+Example use case:
+
+*   Mileage In/Out recorded in Redmine
+    
+*   Automatically synchronized to the QuickBooks invoice.
+    
+
+### Customer Synchronization
+
+Customer records are automatically updated in the local database when changes occur in QuickBooks.
+
+---
+
+## Plugin Hooks
+
+The plugin exposes several hooks for extending functionality through companion plugins.
+
+Example:
+
+`redmine_qbo_vehicles`  
+Adds support for tracking **customer vehicles** associated with Issues.
+
+Available hooks:
+
+|Type|Hook|
+|--|---|
+View Hook|:pdf\_left, { issue: issue }  
+View Hook|:pdf\_right, { issue: issue }
