Setting Up Abila MIP

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.

When the BatchExportMethod is set to detail the detail export file contains a row for each ledger record created from the batch close process. When the BatchExportMethod is set to summary only one row appears 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 MIP and import the file.

Additional Services

If the file layout shown above does not meet your requirements and you require Abila to make a layout change, an additional fee will be charged. The 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.
