Accounting Integration Settings - Synchronization 

 

Delete Vendor Types During Synchronization (STO Accounting Only)

 

This setting allows the user to remove vendors from the WMS database that do not match the vendor types that are currently selected to synchronize with Sage Timberline Accounts Payable (AP). If an AP vendor should not synchronize and therefore not import into WMS, the Vendor Type setting in Sage Timberline AP should correspond with the unselected vendors in the WMS Delete Unchecked Types setting below before performing a Synchronization.

 

In this example, the Overhead vendors in AP will be deleted from WMS:

 

 

To change the Vendor Type field in Sage Timberline AP:

  1. In Sage Timberline AP, select Setup > Vendors.

  2. Access the General tab > Vendor Type dialog box.

  1. Change the Vendor Type to the type that should not import into WMS. (In this example, the Sage Timberline Vendor Type setting is Overhead, which is the type chosen not to import into WMS.)

  2. Click Save when finished.

Note

To ensure the AP Vendor Type matches the type in WMS, perform a synchronization with AP using the Receive Suppliers from Timberline function from the WMS Integration menu. After a successful synchronization, verify the AP Vendor Type matches the WMS type found by accessing Setup > Suppliers  > Timberline Accounting tab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To remove vendor types from WMS:

  1. Access the Integration menu > Accounting > Accounting Integration Settings.

  2. Verify the accounting company currently selected in the Accounting Companies grid is the correct accounting company for which this setting will be defined. If necessary, click on a different accounting company.

  3. Click the Synchronization tab.

  4. Remove the checkmark for the vendor type to remove. This type will no longer be imported as long as the checkbox is left blank.

  5. Select the Delete Unchecked Vendor Types and Vendors in WMS but not in AP checkbox.

 

During a synchronization, the following warning appears if the Delete Unchecked Vendor Types option is enabled and any suppliers exist in WMS that are not in AP:

 

 

 

  1. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save any changes. Verify that the unchecked vendor types have been deleted from the Supplier list in WMS.

 

Note

If the vendor is in use (a purchase order is issued for that vendor, a scheduling activity is assigned to that vendor, or a purchasing activity is assigned to that vendor) the vendor will not be removed.
