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.
