The Sync Now screen is where all the syncing occurs. Watch your invoices sync to your accounting package and have them scheduled for Automatic Payment, if configured.
How do I get there?
To Sync, click Sync > Sync Now from the top Menu.
What do I do?
By default, Wise-Sync will load invoices that have not been sync'd from Autotask. The page is broken down into three parts - Connections, Sync Action and the Invoice List.
Connections
View the status of your connections to both Autotask and your Accounting Package. Connections by default is collapsed, should connections to both Autotask and Accounting Package are active. The status of your connections are visible regardless of whether Connections is collapsed or expanded.
Expand Connections to view more details about each connection and allows connections to be tested and/or reconnected.

Invoice List
Before Sync
Wise-Sync will list invoices, up to the Thru Date (Sync Action), that have not been sync'd to your Accounting Package. This is determined by a blank Web Service Date.
Invoice Number
If the invoice number is set by Autotask then that invoice number will be used in the accounting package.
Invoices that are generated in Autotask without an invoice number appear on the Sync Now screen with the flag Generated, indicating that the accounting package will assign an invoice number. Once the invoice number is assigned by the accounting package, Wise-Sync will update Autotask with the invoice number.
During and after Sync
Depending on the Sync Action taking place, the Sync Results and Wise-Pay column will be updated.
Expand / Collapse each line, displaying the full sync result. On Sync completion, any records that result in an error will be expanded and error displayed.
Sync Results | Wise-Pay | ||
---|---|---|---|
Traffic Light Status | Red (error), Yellow (warning), Green (success). | Traffic Light Status of Automatic Payment Queueing | Red (error), Yellow (warning), Green (success)
