redmine_qbo

The goal of this project is to allow redmine to connect with Quickbooks Online to create time activity entries for completed work when an issue is closed.

####How it works

A QBO customer and service item can be assigned to a redmine issue.
A QBO employee can be assigned to a redmine user
When a issue is closed, the following things happen:
- The plugin checks to see if the user assinged to the issue has a QBO employee assinged to them
- The plugin checks to see if the issue has a QBO customer & service item attached
- If the above statements are true, then a new QBO Time Activity is created
- The total time for the Time Activity will be total spent time.
- The rate will be the set be the service item
