SmartSync General Overview

Modified on Tue, 3 Jun at 2:20 PM

SmartSync is Accounts Payable by Beanworks' service for syncing data to and from your accounting system. The following is transferred through this connection:

  • From Accounts Payable by Beanworks to your accounting system:
    1. Invoices
    2. Payments
  • From your accounting system to Accounts Payable by Beanworks
    1. Purchase orders (depending on the accounting system)
    2. Payments
    3. Lists and list items

For desktop accounting systems such as QuickBooks Desktop or Sage 100, a SmartSync application is installed on the server where your accounting system is located. Cloud accounting systems such as NetSuite or QuickBooks Online use APIs to connect to Accounts Payable by Beanworks and do not require a SmartSync application installation.


Syncs are run through the SmartSync menu in Quadient AP. You can read our in-depth guide here to learn how to run a sync with SmartSync.
