Integration of the accounting tool with the ERP, in the foodservice sector

When interfaced with an accounting management tool, ERP acts as a link between restaurant activity and accounting management, sending the relevant data flows.

The objective? Make accounting more efficient, save time, while benefiting from a precise vision.

Better management thanks to the integration of your accounting tool with your ERP

This specific functionality saves time and avoids re-entries. Integrating your ERP with your accounting tool promotes the automation of certain tedious actions.

Why integrate ERP with accounting software?

As ERP manages the ordering and receiving of goods, it facilitates:

• The transmission of a "Good to Pay" following validation of receipts;
• The valuation of inventory stocks;
• The transmission of purchasing and production data to cost accounting.
  In order to facilitate analyses by Management Control.

Manual management of accounting data is sometimes a source of errors, so meticulous is the task. Interfacing your accounting tool with your ERP reduces errors and saves time, while automating the tasks mentioned above.

Elements to consider for successful ERP integration with accounting software

As with all ERP functionalities, the secret is to set up the software properly beforehand. Before integrating accounting data into ERP, you need to carry out an analysis of the tools to be connected between them. It's also important to clearly identify the data flows to be exchanged.

To coordinate exchanges between different solutions, you need to ask yourself the following questions upstream:

• Which tools are masters of which data?
• How best to use invoice dematerialization tools?
  
  Invoice dematerialization is an important point, since it's a legal obligation, which will be phased in gradually until 2026. All VAT-registered companies must start using electronic invoices as of:

• 1^er July 2024, in reception, for all businesses;
• 1^er July 2024, outbound for large companies;
• 1^er July 2025, on issue for mid-sized companies;
• 1^er July 2026, in issue for SMEs and micro-enterprises

This obligation should facilitate exchanges and avoid errors. ERP, in particular EDI, can help to comply with this law.
