What is the Varibill Accounting Connector

Modified on Wed, 19 Aug at 10:05 AM

Overview

The Varibill Accounting Connector is a Windows desktop application that posts invoices and credit notes from Varibill to your on-premise accounting system. It acts as middleware between the Varibill API and your accounting system’s API, ensuring that billing data flows accurately from Varibill into your local financial system.

When the Connector runs, Varibill pushes all unposted (Open) invoices to the accounting system. The accounting system then:

  • Generates the invoices
  • Updates inventory counts (if applicable)
  • Updates the General Ledger (GL)
  • Updates the Debtor Ledger

Once processed, the accounting system returns the invoice numbers to Varibill.

Note: Varibill only integrates with accounting systems and versions that are currently supported by the accounting system vendor. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that their version is supported and that the relevant vendor fees have been paid in full.

Who Needs the Accounting Connector

Download and install the Varibill Accounting Connector only if your organization is running one of the following on-premise accounting systems:

  • SysPro
  • Sage One
  • Sage Pastel Partner
  • Sage 200 (Pastel Evolution)
  • Sage 300 (AccPac)

For details on each system’s requirements, see Supported Accounting Systems.

Before You Start

  • Ensure the relevant license has been purchased from the accounting system vendor to allow third-party integrations
  • Ensure the SDK for the accounting system is installed on the server (where applicable)
  • Ensure regional settings on the server match the accounting system configuration (this affects decimal rounding)

  3. Post invoices to your accounting system
