Account Mappings
Account Mapping LevelChoose from the hierarchy of Account Mappings below. The lower in the hierarchy you choose to map, the more granular your Revenue Account Mappings will be. The level set here will also be the level Wise-Sync will fail at, should it find a discrepancy in your mappings during the sync process.

Level 1 - Default Revenue Account
Revenue will be posted to this account, if no other mappings are matched / defined.

Level 2 - Invoice Transaction Type
Revenue will be posted to any Invoice Transaction type that you map.

Level 3 - Billing Code
Revenue will be posted to any Billing Code that you map.

Level 4 - Dynamic
Revenue will be posted to the invoice line Billing Code's Billing/Accounting External Number, if it's configured. This level isn't mapped in Wise-Sync, rather, it will pick up the External Number configured against the Billing Code in Autotask.
Account Mapping HandlingChoose how Wise-Sync will handle your Account Mappings.

Fail
If Wise-Sync cannot make a match at the level selected as the Account Mapping Level, the sync will fail and display an error reporting a mismatch.

Example: Account Mapping Level is set to Dynamic. If your invoice contains a Billing Code with a missing/unknown External Number, the sync will fail, prompting you to correct the mismatch.

Fallback
If Wise-Sync cannot match an account that has been mapped, it will be fall back to the higher Account Mapping Levels.

Example: Account Mapping Level is set to Dynamic. If your invoice contains a Billing Code with a missing/unknown External Number, fallback to an Account Level Mapping that can match. That is, in this example, Wise-Sync will fallback to find any mapped Billing Codes, followed by Invoice Transaction Type. If Wise-Sync hasn't fount a matching mapping at that point, the app will fallback to the Default Revenue Account.
