Back to Help Main Menu Email Help Request Absolute Advantage Home Absolute Accounting Integration - AP Transactions AP Integration is done through a filter file: AP Transactions (AP_Import_Abs.fp5) The AP filter allows you to import Purchase transactions into Absolute Accounting. These typically include AP Invoices and Credit Memos. All syncing is done from the “line item” file (ie, “PO Line Items”) NOT the “header” file. This allows each line item to be posted to a different GL Account. Header information is “attached” to each related line item with a calculation field. The import filter then extracts the header information as required. To do this you need to create a set of calculation or input fields named EXACTLY as specified and point the “Import From Business System PO LI” script in “AP_Import_Abs.fp5” to do a “Matching Name” import from your line item file. You must track which new invoices need to be posted, find all their line items, and then trigger the “Import From Line Items [Master Script]” in “AP_Import_Abs.fp5”. The Import filter will do the rest - all of your AP transactions will appear in a new AP Batch in Absolute Accounting. This process can also be used to bring initial AP information when first configuring Absolute Accounting. It is recommended that you “lock” posted invoices so that they cannot be modified.
