How does Intervals map invoices exported to FreshBooks?

There are two methods depending on which type of Invoice you created:

Invoices created from Freeform option

The summary of line items is exported while preserving any Term & Tax Defaults you setup from the Default invoicing section. Please see the invoice before and after below. Notice how the Details section is exported to FreshBooks:

Because of that, you can also export the summary or the details to FreshBooks.
