How to sync a transaction?

Start by selecting the type of transaction to sync from the accounting section.

Step 1: Hover over the accounting section and choose the desired transaction type.

Step 2: Navigate to the pending section to see transactions with "Pending to verify" status and waiting for sync.

Step 3: Before verifying a transaction, ensure the necessary accounting fields are added in the transaction details, which will be synced into the accounting software.

Step 4: Use the "verify" button on the table to verify a transaction, which you would like to sync. Once a transaction is verified it's status will change to "Pending to sync".

Note: Remember, only verified transactions can be synced into the accounting software. Unsettled expenses cannot be verified. In order for a transaction to get verified, the mandatory fields needs to be filled.

Step 5: Once a transaction has been verified the sync button will get enabled, and you can subsequently sync the transaction into your accounting software.

That's it! Now you're syncing transactions into your accounting software with ease.


Marking a Transaction as Synced Without Syncing It to the Accounting Software

You can mark a transaction as synced without actually syncing it to the client’s accounting software by following the steps below:

Step 1: Hover over the Accounting section and select the relevant transaction type.

Step 2: Go to the Pending section to view transactions with the status “Pending to verify” that are awaiting sync.

Step 3: Before verifying the transaction, ensure all required accounting fields are completed in the transaction details, as these are typically used for syncing to the accounting software.

Step 4: Click the Verify button in the table for the transaction you wish to process.

Step 5: Once the transaction is verified, click the three-dot menu next to the
Unverify option and select Mark as Synced. A small note will appear for reference, and the transaction will be moved to the Synced tab without being synced to the accounting software.
