Financial Integration

As a result of the broad “Best of Breed” offerings (both front and back office) contained on the Salesforce App Exchange, Rootstock has leveraged expertise and investments by financial software vendors. This has allowed Rootstock to quickly build the most complete suite of Manufacturing, Distribution and Supply Chain Applications (including powerful functionality such as Sales Order and Purchasing) available on the cloud. Alongside the robust Manufacturing, Distribution and Supply Chain Applications, Rootstock has built integrations to popular Accounting Applications both on and off the Cloud (listed below), with many others on the Rootstock product roadmap.

• Although each Accounting System may differ in the depth and breadth of their offerings, ALL must offer the basic functionality of Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Cash Management, General Ledger (Journals) and the ability to generate accurate Financial Statements. In addition, Rootstock has sought to integrate with Financial applications that support our multi-company, multi-division, multi-site, multi-national, multi-currency and a multi-dimensional Chart of Accounts (providing the ability to track and report financial results by Project, Department, Sales Region, etc. while at the same time retain a simple Chart of Accounts) capabilities.
• To that end, Rootstock currently has built-in integration with the following Financial and Accounting Systems –

Intuit QuickBooks

Intuit offers an expansive list of popular Accounting products, both Online and Desktop, with varying levels of functionality. Rootstock has developed “Integration” tools that facilitate the transfer of financial data across their product offerings.

• QuickBooks Online – Rootstock utilizes QuickBooks API’s (Application Programming Interfaces) to automatically creates the appropriate recording of the related financial transactions in the accounting system from a click of a button, such as…
• Journals to record all of the Cost Transactions
  
• Customer Invoices to record Accounts Receivable and associate Revenue, and to which to record cash receipts
  
• Vendor Bills (which have been matched valid Purchase Order (Price) and PO Receipt (Quantity) to record Accounts Payable and associated expenses and from which to pay vendors
• QuickBooks Desktop – since there are no API’s available to automate the transfer to the QuickBooks Desktop products, Rootstock has developed the following series of Export Programs (utilizing Intuits’ IIF file format) to facilitate the export of financial data to be then imported in the Accounting System…
• Export/Import of all Cost Transactions as Journals
  
• Export/Import of Sales Order Invoices as Invoices to record Accounts Receivable and associated Revenue, and to which to record cash receipts
  
• Export/Import PO Receipts to be recorded as Item Receipts in QuickBooks that can then be matched to a Vendor Bill, and then paid
