Accounting System Requirements

Owned by Daniel Renshaw

CatalogueLINK needs to be able to connect and interact with the accounting package for the purpose of importing (CatalogueLINK Upload) and exporting (CatalogueLINK Download) data. As this is the case there are also some accounting system specific requirements that need to be met on the PC that you install CatalogueLINK onto.

Some accounting applications require an ‘add-on’ that facilitates communication between CatalogueLINK and the accounting package. These add-ons are obtainable from your accounting package dealer / vendor. Please find your accounting package from the list below to determine the requirements that need to be met on the server / computer you intend to install CatalogueLINK on.
