Sync Materials Stored is a setting in the Prime Contract and Commitment sections of the integration that allows you to sync your materials stored across to QuickBooks Online
This means on your commitments or purchase orders in Procore the change in materials stored compared to the previous progress claim will be added to the invoice or bill when sent across to QuickBooks Online. For more information on how materials stored works from Procore, see this article.

When the invoice syncs across to QuickBooks Online, we can see that because the amount in the materials presently stored column did not change between the invoices, it does not affect the amount on the invoice in QuickBooks Online.
On the next invoice to the client, we will reduce the materials presently stored column (which means the materials have been used for construction in that period), with the same work completed this period as the other invoices ($100,000):
