Background Processes; Export General Ledger now supported as a Scheduled Process
The Export General Ledger process is now supported as a scheduled Background Process for databases where Web Services have been configured. This includes file-based Exports, and where applicable, database-based exports (such as MYOB API).
Due to potential issues with the Web Server interacting with emPOWER, the following Export Types are not supported when run from a scheduled process:
- emPOWER 5 Direct
- emPOWER 5 Save
File-based exports provide several configuration items to ensure they best suit the individual requirements of Finance Companies. This includes the ability to:
- Immediately export the file or not
- This provides the flexibility of allowing the scheduled process to generate the Batch but relies on manual review before exporting.
- Attach the Export File to the summary email once the process has completed.
- Export the File to a specific location on the file system (provided it is accessible via Web Services).
- Export the File as an Export Package, downloadable via finPOWER Connect Cloud.
- A User Range can be specified in the configuration to allow the Export Package to be copied to multiple Users via finPOWER Connect Cloud.
Note: Only the new GL Interface is supported for use with Scheduled Processes and Web Services. For databases still using the old (and now obsolete) interface, the option of a Scheduled Process is not available.
