KashFlow: Link existing customers or suppliers

Please read the overview article before completing these steps: KashFlow: Overview

If you've been using Commusoft and KashFlow independently then you will have the same customers or suppliers in both systems. The problem is that there is no link between these customer/supplier records and therefore when importing data from Commusoft to KashFlow, Commusoft will create a new customer or supplier record in KashFlow. This duplication isn't ideal.

To avoid this you need to 'tell Commusoft' that the customer or supplier already exists in KashFlow. To do this you need to get the customer or supplier ID number from KashFlow and tell Commusoft to associate the customer or supplier with this number.

Get customer or supplier ID:

To link existing customers or suppliers from KashFlow to customers/suppliers in Commusoft, you will first need the ID of the customer/supplier in KashFlow.  

Click on the customer or supplier from your customer or supplier list.

The customer or supplier ID is displayed in the URL. Copy this as this number will be used to link the customer/supplier between Commusoft and KashFlow.

Link customers or suppliers:

Next login to Commusoft and go to your company settings.

Scroll down and click 'Accounting interfaces'.

Then you will see your accounting integration dashboard. Open the 'Quick links' then 'Link customers and suppliers'.

You will see a page with all of your customers or suppliers on. Paste the code into the Accounting reference column.

Repeat this for all customers or suppliers.
