Synchronization with accounting software

Purpose

1. The automation objective is to automate the synchronization of invoicing, payments, and accounting data between the laser cutting service system and diverse accounting platforms.

2. Automates the flow of financial data, reduces data entry, reconciles payments, and ensures instant, error-free records for audits and financial planning across fabrication business processes.

3. Enables automated data-linking each time new invoices are created, payments are received, refunds processed, or state changes occur in the ERP/CRM or order management systems.

Trigger Conditions

1. Invoice created, updated, or deleted in the laser cutting service application.

2. Payment marked as received or pending in the order workflow.

3. Accounting period close, or weekly/monthly financial reporting automation cadence.

4. Any relevant change in client (corporate) data or tax profile.
