Introduction
The Exact.Jobs.FinCheck background job compares the financial figures in Exact Synergy Enterprise with Exact Globe back office administrations. For each division, the check is done per financial year/financial period/general ledger account against whether the total amount in the division currency in Exact Synergy Enterprise is the same as the total amount in the division currency in the back office administration.
Note: The financial figures mentioned are referring to the processed financial entries only. In other words, budgets and unprocessed financial entries are not taken into account. Also, the origin of financial figures is not important for the check. It will take into account both the financial entries created in Exact Synergy Enterprise and the back office administration.
Besides the checks, this application will also give information whether there are still financial entries waiting to be replicated from the back office administration to Exact Synergy Enterprise.
