Quadient AP SmartSync - General Overview

Modified on Wed, 07 Feb 2024 at 10:38 AM

Quadient AP connects to your desktop accounting system using our data synchronization tool, SmartSync. SmartSync allows us to access the data needed so that you accomplish your workflow needs. This article covers the general overview of SmartSync and how it connects to your account system. For a technical overview of SmartSync, check out our article here.


How does SmartSync work?

SmartSync is a Quadient AP-crafted application, which is installed on the server where your account system is located. Through this connection, the following information is transferred: 

From Quadient AP into your Accounting System: 

  • Invoice data
  • Payment data

From your Accounting System into Quadient AP:

  • Purchase Order data (depending on the accounting system)
  • Payment data
  • Lists and list item data 


Unlike the legacy SyncTool, SmartSync only needs to be installed once on your server. Once SmartSync is installed, syncs are run through the SmartSync menu in Quadient AP. You do not need to use the SmartSync app installed on your server to run a sync. You can read our in-depth guide here to learn how to run a sync with SmartSync.
