How to Connect Your Accounting System

Step 1: Connect Your Organisation

Navigate to Control Panel > Accounting
Click Connect an organisation
Select your accounting partner from the dropdown

Step 2: Authenticate Your Account

Follow the authentication steps for your specific platform:

Xero:

Enter your email and password
Click Allow access on the authorization page

MYOB Business (AccountRight and Essentials):

Enter your email and password
Sign in with Administrator role (required to establish connection)

Business Central:

Enter your email and password
When redirected to Uptick, select your Organisation
Click Confirm

Enter your email and password
Select the Organisation to connect to Uptick

Sage 50:

Step 3: Set Default Accounts

Select your Default Income Account (for invoices)
Select your Default Expense Account (for purchase order bills)
If supported by your platform, enter a Rounding Account (optional)

What These Accounts Do:

Default Income Account: Used for invoices when no cost centre or product-level account codes are set
Default Expense Account: Used for PO bills when no cost centre or product-level account codes are set
Rounding Account: Automatically adjusts any rounding discrepancies between Uptick and your accounting partner's calculations

Step 4: Configure Partner Sync Settings

Select a sync option for each data type. Partner Syncs control what data syncs overnight FROM your accounting system INTO Uptick (not the other way around).

Sync Options:

Create and update: Creates missing records in Uptick and updates existing ones
Update only: Updates existing Uptick records to match your accounting system
Off: Disables automatic sync; records must be created or updated manually

Note: Invoices and PO Bills do not have a "Create and update" option to avoid data inconsistencies.

Step 5: Save Your Configuration

Click Save Accounting Organisation to complete the setup.

Understanding Sync Behavior

Once you create a record in Uptick (e.g., an invoice), it syncs to your accounting partner via dispatch or by clicking Create new in the Integration section.

Important: Once a record is linked to your accounting system, the accounting system becomes the source of truth. Any changes must be made in your accounting platform, not in Uptick.

Data automatically syncs back from your accounting partner into Uptick overnight. You can also trigger manual syncs when needed.

How to Manually Sync Data

Sync All Records (Bulk Sync)

Navigate to Control Panel > Accounting
Click Run full sync next to Billing cards or Invoices

Performance Note: Bulk syncs run in the background but may affect system performance. Consider running these syncs outside of peak hours when fewer users are active.
