SCM Accounting Connector

The SCM Accounting Connector is a one-way connector from FinancialForce Supply Chain Management to FinancialForce Accounting. The connector allows you to transfer:

  • SCM invoices to FinancialForce Accounting sales invoices.
  • SCM AP vouchers to FinancialForce Accounting payable invoices. AP voucher lines with an associated item master are exported as product lines and those with no associated item master are exported as expense lines.
  • SCM inventory transactions that have a financial impact on FinancialForce Accounting journals.
  • SCM voids or credit invoices to credit notes in FinancialForce Accounting.
  • SCM supplier sites to Salesforce accounts.

The connector supports multi-company and multi-currency mode in FinancialForce Accounting. FinancialForce Accounting version 11 or later must be installed on your organization for the connector to work.

The connector also allows you to customize the way in which documents are created in FinancialForce Accounting by using your own plugin.

There are three modes of configuration:

  • Automatic export
  • Manual push
  • Manual pull

You can combine modes as required, for example, you can automatically export SCM invoices and also manually push sales credit notes.

This table shows an overview of the different modes available for the different documents and how they are transferred to FinancialForce Accounting.
