How do I administer/maintain clients in Finmatics?

New clients are always created directly in your ERP system. The "+ Add" field in the clients-screen overview is only available for test purposes.

Administration of clients with DATEV

To transfer clients from DATEV to Finmatics, you must synchronise them. Before doing so, make sure that you have activated the token to DATEV. 

Once the client has been synchronised, you can upload business partners, general ledger accounts and training data. See also the following article:

Administration of clients with BMD

As soon as a new client has been created or changes have been made to existing clients, these are automatically transferred to Finmatics. You can find more information in the linked article:

Administration of clients with RZL

Here you can view all the business partners assigned to your client and, depending on the ERP system used, create new business partners or edit them. If required, it is also possible to import master data and training data.

Account Numbers

In the "Account Numbers" tab you can see all imported accounts. These are automatically synchronised depending on the ERP system.

Cost Centres and Cost Units

Cost centres and cost units/objects can either be imported here manually via XLSX or have already been synchronised automatically to Finmatics in the course of the setup. Further information can be found below:

Labels

A label can be used to label invoices or invoice items. Configured labels then appear in the invoice detail screen. You can find further information in Which settings can I configure in the clients-screen under "Labels"?.

Users

All users assigned to the client appear here. You have the option of creating new users and imitating them here. You can find instructions in How do I create users? and How can I imitate other users?. If required, you can also resend invitations to users who have not yet been activated. In the table view, you can see when users were last active and edit them using the three-dot menu. You can find more information on managing users and an explanation of the menu in How are users managed?.
