2. Match each Zoho Books record field to a regular PARSER field.
3. Match each Zoho Books line field to a column from the selected table.

Click Save configuration, then process one test document. Open the selected Zoho Books organization and confirm that the new record contains the expected contact, date, amount, and line items.
When data is sent
New documents use the saved configuration after processing. If a document requires review, the Zoho Books export waits until all required approvals are complete.
If the export fails
- Confirm that the connected account and organization are still active.
- Check every required mapping.
- Make sure mapped customer, vendor, item, and account values identify the intended Zoho Books record.
- Open the integration again after changing parser fields or table columns and update the mapping.
