Introduction

This article describes the supported workflows for Assignar's Acumatica Integration. You will learn how data is synced, how fields are mapped for each workflow, and the configuration options available for each workflow.

Data Syncing

Once set up, the Assignar - Acumatica Integration will sync as described below. In addition to the automatic time-based data syncs, users can manually initiate a sync between these intervals, resulting in data being moved across the systems sooner.

  • Automatic Syncs:
    • The Timesheet Workflow can auto sync new data into Acumatica up to 4 times a day every day of the week
      • You can select any or all of the following times:
        • 1:00AM, 6:00AM, 1:00PM, or 7:00PM (local time)
        • Please allow up to 45 minutes for the data to arrive in Acumatica from the selected time(s)
    • All other Workflows can auto sync new data into Assignar:
      • Monday - Friday at Midnight, 6:00AM, 12:00PM, 2:00PM, 6:00PM local time
      • Please allow up to 45 minutes for the data to arrive in Assignar from the posted time(s)
  • Manual Syncs:
    • Can be run at any time of day, any day of the week.
    • Once a manual sync has been initiated, please allow up to 45 minutes for the data to arrive in the corresponding system depending on the Workflow

Re-Authorize Acumatica Integration

Once set up, the Assignar - Acumatica Integration will need to be Re-Authorized every 30 days.

  • This is mandatory requirement from Acumatica which requires their customers to re-approve 3rd party integrations every 30 days.
  • Please see the Support Article Re-Authorize Acumatica Integration for additional details and the steps to complete the Re-Authorization so that your integration can continue running without interruption.

 

Integration Workflows:

  • Below is a comprehensive list of the Assignar & Acumatica objects & field mappings.

  • ***Please note that (Changes) or (Updates) to a (Client) must be made in Acumatica on the (Customer)
      • However, (Changes) or (Updates) will only push into Assignar if the (Customer/Client) is in an (Active status) on both sides.
  • ***Please note that if you mark a (Customer) as (Inactive) in Acumatica, then you will need to mark the (Client) as (Inactive) in Assignar since the integration can only detect changes to an (Active status) (Customer).
