Synchronise your data

Check the sync status and manually synchronise data between your accounting software and Futrli.

Written by Oliver Cook

When you connect an organisation to an accounting software, Futrli synchronises your data automatically every day.

📌TIP: You can also run a manual synchronisation at any time.


How often does Futrli synchronise?

Futrli synchronises data with your accounting software once a day.

The synchronisation completes within a few minutes, although it can take longer for larger organisations.


Check the sync status

You can check the current sync status from:

  • Manage your organisations

  • The Summary tab

  • The Chart of Accounts tab

  • Any Forecast page


Run a manual synchronisation?

You can manually synchronise your data from the following locations.

Summary

  1. Open the Summary tab.

  2. Under Data connection, select Sync now.

Chart of Accounts

  • Open the Chart of Accounts tab, then select Sync now

Forecast

  1. Open the Forecast tab.

  2. Open any forecast.

  3. Select the Futrli logo.

  4. Next to Data synced, select Refresh.

If the sync fails, reconnect the organisation from Manage Organisations.

📎NOTE: Excel organisations don't support synchronisation. To refresh your data, upload a new file using the Update option.


My data still doesn't match

If your figures still don't match your accounting software after a manual synchronisation, check the following possible causes.

Unreconciled bank transactions

On the Summary page, check the Data connection section for unreconciled transactions.

If Futrli identifies unreconciled transactions:

  1. Reconcile the transactions in your accounting software.

  2. Run Sync now again.

Xero journals and P&L timing

If you post journals in Xero that move income or expenses into a different period, Futrli updates those figures during the next synchronisation.

If the Profit and Loss figures still don't match after synchronising:

  • Confirm the journal posted to the correct accounting period in Xero

  • Run another manual synchronisation

📌 NOTE: Futrli imports all journal adjustments from Xero. Actual values imported from Xero overwrite any manual cash flow predictions for the same accounts and periods.

Consolidated organisations

Currency conversion can create balance differences in consolidated organisations that use different base currencies. This isn't a synchronisation issue.


Request a full resync

A full resynchronisation is different from the Sync now option.

A full resynchronisation rebuilds the organisation's data from scratch. Support can arrange this if specific accounts don't synchronise correctly after several manual synchronisations.

When you contact us, include:

  • The organisation name

  • The accounts or figures that don't match

  • Confirmation that you've already completed a manual synchronisation

We'll work with the development team to arrange the full resynchronisation if required.
