Setting Up an Incoming Financial Interface

Use this topic to set up an incoming financial interface.

Use this topic in conjunction with Setting Up an External Financial Interface.

To set up an interface that updates the SyteLine database with financial data from an external financial system, create XML documents that access the SyteLine IDO collections. The process and syntax of using XML documents for data transfer to SyteLine is described in the document Integrating IDOs with External Applications, available from our support site.

Then set up your external system to post the XML documents to the SyteLine mailbox, using the HTTP POST protocol.

The SyteLine External Financial Interface Data Request Utility can be set up to request updates to specific SyteLine database tables from the external financial application. Depending on your external financial application's requirements, you may be able to use this utility as a starting point for setting up your application.

For more information, see Updating SyteLine Data from Data in an External Financial Application.

Note: (On-premise only) For Infor Global Financials (IGF) integration, only Chart of Accounts, Currency Codes, and Currency Rates can be selected on the Table tab. All fields are available for use on the Customer Posted Balance tab. The IGF integration uses direct data access with this utility to retrieve data for SyteLine.
