Connect Kashflow to Sage 100: Unleash Seamless Financial Automation

Bridge operational accounting with core ERP, driving real-time data flow, eliminating manual entry, and enhancing financial visibility with intelligent iPaaS.

The Challenge

The Challenge: Disconnected Financial Operations

Managing your business with Kashflow for day-to-day operational accounting and Sage 100 for your core ERP can lead to significant inefficiencies and data integrity issues. The manual transfer of sales invoices, payments, purchase orders, and customer data between these two critical systems is a common bottleneck.

  • Manual Data Entry: Re-keying invoices, payments, and customer details from Kashflow into Sage 100 is time-consuming and prone to human error.
  • Delayed Financial Reporting: Disconnected systems mean financial data isn't always current, leading to lags in reporting and decision-making.
  • Inconsistent Master Data: Customer, supplier, and product information can become out of sync, causing discrepancies in billing, inventory, and sales.
  • Inefficient Reconciliation: Matching payments in Kashflow with AR/AP entries in Sage 100 becomes a complex, manual task.
  • Lack of Real-time Visibility: Without a unified view, it's difficult to get an accurate, up-to-the-minute picture of your cash flow, inventory, and overall financial health.

Seamless Integration Architecture & Data Flow

Our iPaaS provides a robust and intelligent integration layer between Kashflow and Sage 100, orchestrating complex data flows, transformations, and validations to ensure maximum efficiency and data integrity. This architecture is designed for scalability, resilience, and real-time performance.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connectivity: Establish secure, encrypted connections to Kashflow via OAuth 2.0 and to Sage 100 via dedicated service accounts leveraging BOI/ODBC.

Event-Driven Triggers: Configure event listeners (e.g., webhooks from Kashflow-connected systems, or Change Data Capture for Sage 100) to initiate workflows in real-time.

Data Extraction: Data is pulled from the source system through optimized API calls (Kashflow) or efficient database queries/BOI calls (Sage 100).

Canonical Data Model: Data is converted into a standardized, canonical format within the iPaaS, facilitating easier transformation.

Intelligent Transformation & Validation: The iPaaS applies business logic, performs data type conversions, enriches data, and validates against predefined rules and AI-driven anomaly detection. AI also suggests optimal GL account mappings.

Error Handling & Retries: Automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff handle transient errors. Persistent errors are logged, routed to dead-letter queues, and trigger alerts.

Target System Ingestion: Transformed and validated data is pushed to the target system, respecting API rate limits (Kashflow) or optimizing BOI/ODBC calls (Sage 100) through batching.

Status Updates & Reconciliation: Post-ingestion, status updates (e.g., 'Paid' on an invoice) are propagated, and reconciliation processes are initiated.

Data Touchpoints

Kashflow: Customers, Suppliers, Sales Invoices, Purchase Invoices, Payments, Products/Services, Journal Entries, Bank Transactions.
Sage 100: ARCustomer, SOSalesOrderHeader/Detail, CIItem, IMItemWarehouse, APVendor, POPurchaseOrderHeader/Detail, APInvoiceHeader/Detail, GLAccount, GLJournalHeader/Detail, ARCashReceipts.

"Conceptual Flow: [Source System Event (e.g., New Kashflow Invoice or Sage 100 Inventory Update)] -> [iPaaS Listener/Polling] -> [Data Extraction (Kashflow API / Sage 100 BOI/ODBC)] -> [iPaaS Data Transformation & AI Validation] -> [Data Ingestion (Sage 100 BOI/ODBC / Kashflow API)] -> [Error Handling & Monitoring] -> [Status Update/Notification]"

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

A successful integration hinges on precise mapping of business entities and their corresponding fields. Our iPaaS provides robust tools and AI assistance to ensure seamless data flow for critical entities between Kashflow and Sage 100.

Customer / AR_Customer

Represents client information. Essential for invoicing, sales orders, and accounts receivable.

Kashflow Fields

CustomerID (Kashflow ID) Name ContactName Email Address1 Postcode Telephone AccountReference

Sage 100 Fields

CustomerNo CustomerName AddressLine1 City State ZipCode EmailAddress ContactName TelephoneNo AccountStatus CreditLimit

Mapping Notes

Kashflow's `AccountReference` or `CustomerID` should be mapped to a UDF in Sage 100's `AR_Customer` for cross-referencing. Ensure address fields are parsed into Sage 100's structured format. Deduplication is vital, typically by `Email` or `Name`.
