What is Wise-Sync Expense Connect©?

Wise-Sync Expense Connect© is an innovative feature designed to provide simplified payment processes and matching against expense transactions that are to be reconciled at bank. Xero and QBO provide direct data feeds from most major banking institutions with many others provided through the Yodlee data provider services. Wise-Sync Expense Connect automatically pays the expense using the nominated credit card / bank account defined for each Member. By automatically allocating the expense payment, bank reconciliation processes will be greatly streamlined by allowing for bank payment allocation and reconciliation at the time of when a recorded has been synced from ConnectWise.

The following outlines the process:

Expense is entered by a ConnectWise User.

Expense is approved as part of the Expense Approval Process.
Expense is Synced to Xero by Wise-Sync as an Approved Purchase Bill.
Payment is automatically applied to the Payable Invoice in Xero, to the linked bank account or credit card as defined in the Wise-Sync Expense Connect options grid.
Transaction is Auto Matched in the Bank Account Reconciliation Screen

And all of that just happened with the Press of a Button!
