The Xledger integration is based on subscriptions to events in Dataloy VMS, we are able to listen to certain events and receive relevant data when they occur. This way the messages are triggered instantly from Dataloy to the integration endpoint. The data is then processed to Xledgers format while performing several validations of data to make sure dimension values already exist in Xledger. If the validation process is passed, the data is then imported to Xledger.
Xledger also returns data to Dataloy such as payment receipts, actuals and exchange rates. This is handled by querying Xledger data every 2 hours (or upon request) to check for changes to customer and supplier transactions. The same goes for actuals which are needed in Dataloy to generate accruals correctly.
Exchange rates are transferred every afternoon once they are updated in Xledger. We are also able to tailor the integration to specific customer needs and implement logic that may not be available in the VMS.
Shared Data and Permissions
We are in the process of developing tools for the end-user to administer certain functions of the integration itself. Access to this portal is delegated to users and the customer is able to track all data transferred between the 2 systems and perform manual processes to update data on demand. More to come very soon!
