Connecting to Abcom is simple! We need only bring back your supplier cards and nothing else.
​

Supplier Cards are used in accountancy systems to identify suppliers using a unique code – a Abcom Suppliers, or descriptor. When Lightyear exports extracted data, this information is required in order to inform Abcom which supplier a document relates to. Lightyear has integrated with Abcom's API which makes the import of Supplier information a seamless process.
​

Head over to Settings > Accounting Software > Select Abcom > Connect where you will be prompted to enter your Store ID (please contact Abcom if you are unsure).
​

Enter your Store ID > Save and Import to complete your connection.

Finally click on Import to bring your Suppliers into Lightyear.

Please note: when you receive an invoice from a new supplier you will need to add the new Supplier in Abcom first, and then Import again so that you can reference the Supplier within Lightyear.
