About

Firstly, a special user must be created within Attaché called Bepoz. This user will have the screens set up that must match the import formats. It is when this user is logged onto Attaché, that the files exported by BEpoz will be imported by Attaché. 
Many of the Account Codes in the Interface setup are actually (product) Service Codes within Attaché. These Service codes are then configured within Attaché - this enables the tax to be allocated correctly and the relevant GL Accounts to be updated. 
NOTE: It is critical that Attache has a GL Set setup called BEpoz with a code of BEP. This has all General Ledger accounts pointing to the same GL ACCOUNT called BEpoz Clearing as a Current Liability. This ensures that no GL Account entries (per se) are generated when sales and AR Data are sent to Attache. It is also critical that the SALESTAXED and SALESTAXFREE Sales codes point to this GL Set. NOT the Inventory sales codes! 
Attache requires a Customer called BEpoz – Daily Sales are posted to this. This should also point to the GL Set called BEpoz. 
Attache Settings:
In Customer/Invoicing options: User Selected Transaction Screens to be ON. And preferably a password set.

• Date Year Format must be fixed to 2

The customized BEpoz Invoicing Screen should be loaded and set as the default screen for the BEpoz User.
