Connecting to Exact Online

To start connecting your Payhawk account to Exact Online, follow the steps:

  1. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Integrations.

  3. On the next screen, click Continue.

  4. Select to which environment you want to connect. Payhawk integrates to all Exact Online environments.

    Note that Payhawk creates a Payhawk General account, which is used whenever mapping cannot be performed.

Exporting expenses in a currency other than the base one requires you to enable the Variable: Currency multi-currency feature for the purchase journal that was selected during the setup of the integration.

Notes on configuration

  • You can edit the current integration setup without disconnecting from your accounting system. In Payhawk, go to Settings > Integrations, click on the three dots menu of the desired ERP system, and select Edit configuration.
