Import from BGL

You can integrate FYI with market leading providers BGL to automatically import the information from this third-party provider for your clients. Information is imported from BGL CAS 360 overnight and automatically filed against the relevant client as a document in FYI.

The ASIC annual statements display in the Client Corporate Affairs tab. This provides a summary of the ASIC annual statements which also shows the status of the statements (for example, if the annual review fee has been paid). A copy of the document is filed in FYI and each holds a link to open the ASIC annual statement directly from BGL. Refer to Client Corporate Affairs.

Any other documents imported from BGL are filed against the client and can be viewed in the Clients - Documents tab.

Notes on the Import from BGL

• BGL documents are synced to FYI every day at 4 am.
  If a document was received in BGL today, you will see it in FYI tomorrow as the automation pulls documents from BGL to FYI overnight. You can see the date and time of the Last Sync with BGL from the BGL app in Automation - Apps. Refer to Connecting your BGL account to FYI.
  
  
• The FYI automation matches on ACN and will only import documents where the ACN in BGL matches the ACN in Xero Practice Manager. The automation will only trigger documents to be imported if the client record in Xero Practice Manager contains the ACN, and the ACN is a direct match to what is held in BGL.
  
  
• In order to retrieve documents from BGL, FYI searches for a match on the BGL company number against either:
  the Xero Practice Manager Company Number
  or
  the Xero Practice Manager Business Number
  
  
• BGL gives you the ability to create companies, but you will only see documents if you have added the client to your ASIC agent number via the form 362. Once the client has been added to your ASIC agent number, the FYI automation will then check BGL for the incorporation documents and add a link to the client in FYI if it is able to match on the ACN.

FYI imports the following signed documents:

• Form 484
• Company Annual Statement
