The connector is a piece of software that gets installed on your local network. It manages & protects all the information that's passed between Sage 200 & iCompleat. Any information shared is secure & encrypted.

iCompleat posts to Sage 200:

• Invoice header & line data
• Purchase order number
• New suppliers

iCompleat retrieves from Sage 200:

• Supplier information (including bank details & payment terms)
• Currency codes
• Account codes
• Tax codes
• Departments
• Cost Centers
• Projects
• Charity funds
• Delivery sites
• Journal reference of the posted invoice
• Invoice payment status

You need to choose the Sage 200 connector that match your Sage Accounts version. Access your Sage Accounts version information by running the Sage 200 System Administration tool. The version number will look something like 12.00.0035. Go to Which Sage Connector should I use? if you're still unsure.

To connector iCompleat to Sage 200, follow these steps.

1. Create a Sage 200 user for iCompleat

We recommend that you set up a user account in Sage 200 specifically for iCompleat & give it the name iCompleat.

This is for a couple of reasons:

• You can't currently be logged into both iCompleat & Sage 200 at the same time. If you are, iCompleat won't be able to post, cache, or perform a unique supplier reference check.
• Transactions from iCompleat will be clearly labelled in Sage 200.

Make sure that the password you give the new Sage 200 user doesn't contain any special characters like & or ! or +, etc. This can cause issues when you're trying to connect to iCompleat.

2. Download & install the Sage 200 connector

1. On the homepage, click Configuration.

   When the connection is complete, iCompleat displays a heartbeat. This indicates a healthy connection to Sage 200.

   If connecting to Sage fails despite running the connector configuration, this could be due to your firewall settings.
