Users can schedule updates or refresh their account balances whenever necessary with just a click to ensure they’re always accurate and up to date.

How it Works
FloQast’s SAP integration begins by requesting SAP administrators to create a new Communication User in their SAP system to access a customer’s SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition tenant through SAP’s RESTful API services. Once created, the user credentials are added to FloQast by support specialists and can be modified as needed. FloQast also adds the customer’s unique SAP URL to establish the connection.
After our support specialists complete and test the integration, customers add or upload their reconciliations manually. When customers add new reconciliations to FloQast, they can select accounts from their SAP Chart of Accounts (CoAs) to be automatically populated within FloQast. In addition to the CoAs, our integration pulls company codes, ledgers, and currencies from a customer’s SAP tenant.
Once all reconciliations are added, a nightly refresh is established. This process pulls all account balances from SAP into FloQast, making them available in our reconciliation path.
Through our reconciliation module, customers can trigger the retrieval of balances from SAP by clicking the refresh options. In addition to the automatic nightly refresh, this manual trigger eliminates the need for customers to upload trial balances manually.
When running the completeness report, we can automatically check for new accounts. Upon completion, FloQast provides an Excel export that offers accounting teams and auditors a view of accounts yet to be included in the reconciliation for the selected period.
