Synchronising Clients and Users with APS (Australia & New Zealand only)

When FYI is integrated with APS by The Access Group (formerly Reckon), your Clients, Family Groups, Client Contacts, Attributes and Users are imported from APS and continuously synchronised with FYI. As changes are made in APS, the information will be updated in FYI during the next synchronisation.

The sync from APS to FYI occurs every 15 minutes and ensures that APS continues to be your single source of truth for client information.

Summary of Synchronisation

The following is a summary of what data is currently synced from APS to FYI.

  Event in APS Notes
Clients Create or Edit All clients, including archived are synced. 
Archived Clients Terminate Client The client is auto-archived in FYI.
Family Groups Create or Edit  
Client Addresses Create or Edit Only two address lines appear in FYI.
Client Contacts Create or Edit  
Client Attributes Create or Edit Only specific attributes are included, please refer to the Client Attributes section further below.
Client Custom Fields Create or Edit

To synchronise Client Custom Fields, you must first create a matching Custom Field in FYI with the same name and type (the synchronisation is case-sensitive). If there isn't a matching Custom Field an error will be displayed in Practice Activity. Refer to Managing Custom Fields.

Matters Create or Edit  
Users Create or Edit All active employees must have an email address recorded in APS.

Not Synchronised

FYI does not currently sync the following: 

  • Client Security - it will need to be set up in FYI directly
  • Document and Email Templates
  • Internal Documents such as Policies and Procedures
  • Tax Returns

We will continue to work on these areas to include them in the future.

Additional Notes:

  • Any data deleted in APS will not be reflected in FYI by the synchronisation.
  • No data is synced from FYI to APS including time.
  • The Open in PM icon does not open the Client in APS.
