To have an overview of what Stellarise Connector for InforLN and Xero does, this is a list of the different use cases that may happen during the integration process and the description of the expected outcome.
Contacts
InforLN Contact does not exist in Xero - Xero Name does not exist, Xero Contact Number does not exist
In Infor LN there is "Foreign Customèr S.R.L" having Business Partner ID set to "30000010" but in Xero this does not exist.
After the connector has searched in Xero for the "Contact Number = 30000010" and the "(small case, numbers and letters only , ignoring accents)Name = foreigncustomersrl", the Connector then creates "Foreign Customèr S.R.L" in Xero, having Contact Number set to 30000010 and all the InforLN information described by Design.
InforLN Contact does partially exist in Xero - Xero Name does exist, Xero Contact Number does not exist
In InforLN there is "Foreign Customèr S.R.L" having Business Partner ID set to "30000010" and in Xero you have "foreign customer s.r.l" but without Contact Number.
After the connector has searched and found in Xero the "(small case, numbers and letters only , ignoring accents)Name = foreigncustomersrl", the Connector then updates the existing Xero Contact reporting all the InforLN information described by Design and assigning the Xero Contact Number to "30000010".
InforLN Contact does partially exist in Xero - Xero Name does exist, Xero Contact Number does not exist
In InforLN there is "Foreign Customèr S.R.L" having Business Partner ID set to "30000010" and in Xero you have "foreign customer Italia" having Contact Number set to "30000010".
The connector searches and finds "Contact Number = 30000010". Then updates the existing Xero Contact reporting all the InforLN information described by Design.
InforLN Contact already exists in Xero and they are both the same
In InforLN there is "Foreign Customèr S.R.L" having Business Partner ID set to "30000010" and in Xero you have the same.
The Connector realises the match by ContactNumber or Name and checks for differences (e.g. tax number, bank account, primary contact, address, etc.): both Infor and Xero give the same checksum, the Connector does nothing and moves on.
InforLN Contact already exists in Xero and they differ for one or more details
In InforLN there is "Foreign Customèr S.R.L" having Business Partner ID set to "30000010" and Tax Number "1234567890". In Xero you have the same but the Tax Number is "0987654321".
The Connector realises the match by ContactNumber or Name and checks for differences (e.g. tax number, bank account, primary contact, address, etc.): Infor and Xero differ. The Connector updates the Xero Contact updating its information with the details reported in Infor.
Sales Invoices
InforLN Sales invoice serie "2xxx" but does not exist in Xero.
In InforLN there is an invoice having Invoice Name "303-SI1-2000001" but in Xero there is not such invoice.
Stellarise Connector does not find the Xero invoice by "InvoiceNumber = 303-SI1-2000001" so it creates it with "InvoiceNumber = 303-SI1-2000001" and all the InforLN information defined by Design.
InforLN Sales invoice serie "2xxx" and it does exist in Xero.
In InforLN there is an invoice having Invoice Name "303-SI1-2000001" and in Xero it exists as well.
Stellarise Connector finds the Xero invoice by "InvoiceNumber = 303-SI1-2000001" so it goes into Xero and to update it with the InforLN information defined by Design.
InforLN Sales invoice serie "4xxx" (pro-forma orders)
In InforLN there is an invoice having Invoice Name "303-SI1-4000001" and in Xero it may exist or not.
In Xero there is not such distiction between a normal invoice or a LineaLight invoice from pro-forma order. The invoice will be created following the serie "2xxx" logic.
Xero Sales Invoice exists but not in InforLN
In Xero there is "InvoiceNumber = INV-00049" but in Infor this does not exist.
By Desgin, the Connector does not send back Sales Invoices to InforLN, since InforLN is the source of truth of the Sales Invoices. This does not give any problem in terms of Invoice synchronisation, but it will in terms of
InforLN Sales invoice single line
InforLN Sales invoice multiple lines
InforLN Sales invoice wrong Ledger Code / Tax rates
InforLN Sales invoice correct Ledger Code / Tax rates but not mapped
InforLN Sales invoice correct Ledger Code / Tax rates, not mapped but with default
