The integration between Isah Finance and Isah connects logistical and financial processes. Journal entries are automatically transferred from Isah to Isah Finance. You only need to configure a few settings to link the logistic database to the financial database and to ensure that journal entries are recorded in the correct day books.
Settings
To configure the automatic transfer of journal entries, follow these steps:
In Isah, open the Financial module, go to the Basic database data folder, open the Financial databases form, and click to create a new line. Enter the following details:
Logistic database: Specify the logistic database in Isah you want the financial database to link to.
Financial database: Specify the financial database in Isah Finance you want the logistic database to link to.
Active: Select this check box. The form may contain multiple lines with financial databases, but only one line can be active (except if you are using the Multicompany option).
Open the General Settings module > Settings folder > Financial form > Export/import tab, and then select 'Isah Finance' in the Financial application field.
Make sure day books exist in Isah Finance to which the journal entries from Isah can be copied. Go to Central > Day Books, and choose a type of day book, for example 'Sales' for journal entries for sales invoices. Enter the following details on the Central tab:
Blocked for Manual Changes: This check box must be selected. If this check box is not selected, the journal entries cannot be transferred.
Gross Input: You are recommended to select this check box in order to be able to enter gross entry amounts.
To use a separate day book for each journal entry category, perform the following steps in Isah: Open the Financial module > Basic financial data folder > Journal entry categories form. Select a journal entry category, and then choose the day book to be used in the Isah Finance day book field. If you leave this field empty, the software uses the safety net day books specified in the Sales invoices, Purchase invoices and General fields in Isah Finance (go to Central > Settings > Day Books).
During export, the software first checks for a day book that corresponds to the journal entry category. If no day book is found, then the day book defined in Isah Finance is used.
On the Companies form in Isah Finance, select the financial database you want to link to the logistic database. Open the Integration tab, and specify the starting date for transferring journal entries from Isah. (You may do so, for example, if you are migrating from an accounting application to Isah Finance.) Only journal entries with a date equal to or later than the date specified here will be transferred.
Why are journal entries not transferred?
Sometimes journal entries created in Isah are not exported to Isah Finance. In that case, Isah Finance outputs an error message in the Financial Integration Log (accessible from the General section). The message contains information about the reason for the failed export.
You can perform the following checks in order to discover and remove the cause of any unprocessed journal entries:
Check whether all of the integration steps have been followed.
On the Day Books tab of the Financial Settings form in Isah Finance, check whether the correct day books are set, especially the integration day books for sales, purchase and general entries. These day books must also be blocked for manual posting.
Make sure all sales invoices or purchase invoices have a payment reference. Fill in any missing references.
In Windows, open the Task Manager and click the Services tab. Check that Isah Finance Processing Service has been stopped. If that is the case, right-click Isah Finance Processing Service and choose 'Start'.
Once you have implemented all solutions, go to General, Financial Integration Log, and click the Release All button to process the blocked journal entries.
