Setting Up ACCPAC

Integration Classification

Class A - Baseline

• Preferred Partners provide products or services that are integrated directly into the baseline netFORUM product. These integrations are developed and supported by Abila R&D. Product interface requirements will be tracked and adjustments made to baseline as required maintaining compatibility with the integrated product.
• Class A integrations are available for a fixed SAAS payment.
• In some cases, a minimal configuration charge may be required to cover any setup or customization effort (generally less than four hours) required to implement a class A integration. Most class A integrations are set up using a system option.
• In some cases a separate agreement will be required between Abila’s customer and the integration partner. In other instances, Abila will be able to make all arrangements.
• In a few cases, ongoing usages fees will be required by the integration partner in addition to the fees paid to Abila.

Client Tasks and Requirements

1. Client needs to have Sage ACCPAC accounting software installed.
2. Client needs to have knowledge about how to import G/L files into Sage ACCPAC.

netFORUM Tasks

This integration requires System Option setup.

Baseline File Layout

A sample baseline Sage Accpac summary format is shown below:

Sample File Layout for summary system option

A sample baseline Sage Accpac export detail file in detail format is shown below:

Sample File

When the BatchExportMethod is set to detail the detail export file will contain a row for each ledger record created from the batch close process. When the BatchExportMethod is set to summary only one row will appear in the detail export file for each unique G/L Account. Generally Abila recommends exporting in summary rather than detail.

Usage and Instructions

Once the file is generated after the post batch process from the netFORUM batch profile, staff should go to the Sage Accpac and import the file.

Additional Services

If the file layout shown above does not meet client's requirement and client requires Abila to make such change, additional fee will be needed to perform such change. The additional fee will be based on the complexity and the content of the file layout.

Tip: This process requires that you modify the BatchExportMethod system option.
