Importing Supplier Cards from Abcom
Connect to Abcom
Connecting to Abcom is simple! We need only bring back your supplier cards and nothing else.
Supplier Cards are used in accountancy systems to identify suppliers using a unique code – a Abcom Suppliers, or descriptor. When Lightyear exports extracted data, this information is required in order to inform Abcom which supplier a document relates to. Lightyear has integrated with Abcom's API which makes the import of Supplier information a seamless process.
Head over to Settings > Acounting Software > Select Abcom > Connect where you will be prompted to enter your Store ID (please contact Abcom if you are unsure).
Enter your Store ID > Save and Import to complete your connection.
Finally click on Import to bring your Suppliers into Lightyear.
New Suppliers
Please note: when you receive an invoice from a new supplier you will need to add the new Supplier in Abcom first, and then Import again so that you can reference the Supplier within Lightyear.
