Company Setup

Xledger companies needs to be setup in Dataloy master data.

  1. First create the company group. All customers and suppliers will be transferred to the company group in Xledger and will then be available for all companies in Xledger. 
  2. Setup the companies that should be used when posting invoices to Xledger. Link these companies to the company group created in step 1 by using "Company Link" in Companies Master Data.
  3. If you need multiple companies in Dataloy to be posted to one company in Xledger, link these to a company created in step 2.

All companies, except for the company group in step 1, should have a company link.

Invoice integration

Integration checks for invoices ready for posting every 10 seconds and send the invoices immediately after they have been identified. The invoices are transferred to Xledger which has a scheduled job picking up new invoices at a certain interval. The scheduled job in Xledger can also be triggered manually by a User.


Company

Invoices are transferred to the company in Xledger registered on the invoice in Dataloy VMS. The company code in Dataloy VMS Master Data must match an Xledger company code for data to be transferred.


VAT

VAT invoice lines in Dataloy VMS are ignored from the invoice lines transferred to Xledger, but is included in the total amount.

The Xledger transaction types transferred are: DR, AB, OCR, BA, GL, CHD. For a payment to be transferred to Dataloy VMS a payment and an invoice must have the the matching ID and the invoice must have a reference to a Dataloy VMS invoice. If a payment is missing in Dataloy VMS, check:

  1. Setup Xledger Test Client.
  2. Open the Xledger Test Client and enter:
    1. User Name: username.
    2. Password: password.
    3. EntityCode: Company code for the company that the invoice belongs to.
    4. Web Service Method: Export - GetSupplierTransactions or Export - GetCustomerTransactions depending on if its customer og supplier transaction, (when uncertain do two requests to get all payments).
    5. Free Text: leave blank.
    6. Filter: Set a date filter to avoid too much data.

      Example:

      [Created] > "2016-03-01 00:00:00".

    7. DataOption: All
  3. Copy the data from Step 2 above to a text editor and search for <MatchID>insert a match id</MatchID>.
  4. Locate the transaction with <TrSource> = AP or AR. This is the invoice and should have a <InvoiceNo> matching a tbl_document.document_no in Dataloy VMS.
  5. Locate the transaction with one of the <TrSource> values: DR, AB, OCR, BA, GL, CHD, EFT, DGL
    1. If 4 or 5 is missing, then this is the reason why no payment has been transferred to Dataloy VMS.
    2. If both 4 and 5 is there, there is a problem with the integration. Register a support case at Dataloy Support.
