You need to enable this field, if you have configured the Invoices section in Zoho Books and selected the “I will add them manually each time” radio button in the Invoices >> New Invoice >> Invoice Number Settings screen of the Zoho Books:
- Order Status: The drop-down will list OPS Order Status. Select the status for which you want the OPS Orders to sync in the ZOHO Books.

- OPS will send a trigger only when the Invoice status is “Unpaid” in the Zoho Books and if all the order product status in an OPS order matches with the status selected in this field.
Note: OPS will just send an email trigger to the ZOHO Books system. ZOHO Books will send the Payment Request email notification to the necessary customers.
- Sync Order: Choose to sync Sales Order, Invoice, or both.
- Debug Mode: This is for the OPS Technical team testing purposes.
Note: You can enable this option if you find that the sync process is taking more than usual time. Once enabled, it will sync 3 orders, 3 products as well as 3 addresses at a time.
- Once the above details are configured, you are all set to manually sync - Customer, Address, Product and Order by clicking on the respective buttons:
Note: You must sync the above modules in the following sequence only – Customers, Address, Product and last Order.
If the above sync sequence is not maintained then, all sync will fail as the system will not get the required dependent data.
With the Zoho Books Logs functionality, you can view the details of the Products, Orders (Sales Orders), Invoices and Customers synced. On the screen, you can get the IDs from the Zoho Books and OPS for the items synced along with the date and time for sync. For the Invoices, you may know if the email has been sent to the customers:
The Log which appears by clicking on the View button is generally for the OPS Technical Team for the Technical purpose.
