Points of attention when integrating with Exact Online

When integrating with Exact Online, please take the following into account:

  • The connection is established using a user account from Exact Online.
    We recommend creating a dedicated integration user, with access granted to at least two employees.

  • The Exact Online user must have sufficient permissions to establish the integration. In Exact Online, go to Master data / Users / Control: Rights and click ‘Rights’ under ‘Monitor’ to modify permissions.

  • If multiple Exact Online environments are linked to your One Exact Identity, Exact Online does not support connecting with that user. As a workaround, you can undo the One Exact Identity migration for one user and migrate again using a different email address that has not yet been used for a One Exact Identity at the time of migration. Exact support can assist with this process.

  • Only files with the following extensions are sent to Exact Online:
    ​.pdf, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp

  • Please refer to the related information regarding duplicate invoice number detection.

  • Various settings are available for processing sales transactions.
