Company Preferences

The following are a list of preferences and what they control within Fidesic. If you have any questions about the exact details of a preferences it's best to leave it in the default state, and contact support for more info.

  • Use GL Locations/Markets
    • This preference adds several location-based functions within the system. If you have a segment of your GL assigned to specific locations or markets, you likely will want to enable this preference.
    • Things enabled by this preference:
      • Location based user controls for invoice visibility
      • Location based invoice routing 
      • Location based invoice capture on OCR
      • Locations Tab under company settings for uploading Locations Lists and Addresses.

From the Manage Roles screen you have the ability to create groups for different levels of users within your organization. These roles can then be assigned to individual users. We've pre-loaded Fidesic with common base roles.

Invoice Processing Setup (Including OCR/Data Capture)

You have multiple options for invoice submission setup. The most common way is to use email dropboxes.

Email Dropbox Setup

From the Company Settings page, click the Invoice Inbox Settings tab. This page will allow you set your custom Fidesic Dropbox address. Most companies use their company name as the prefix on the AP dropbox email setup. Enter your email dropbox prefix and click save. Please note: you can only have one prefix per account, and it can not be changed once set.

Once set, you will have two email addresses for submission of invoices, formatted as:

  • {prefix}@ap.fidesic.com
  • {prefix}@ocr.fidesic.com

Using the @ap.fidesic.com address

Invoices sent to this address will queue up on the Invoice Inbox page in either the My Queue or Company Queue tab. Invoices submitted by your user name address will show up in My Queue and all else will appear in the Company Queue

To Process invoices in this queue, simply click the PDF name, or click the arrow for more options.

Using the @ocr.fidesic.com address

Invoices sent to this inbox will be automatically captured by our system and will not require manual entry. Please note, invoices sent to this queue may take up to 1 business day before they appear in your approval queue. 

Additionally you can use locations codes on this prefix to automatically add location coding to invoices sent to OCR. 

To enable this, you will need location company preference enabled. Once enabled, Invoices sent to these addresses will be coded to their corresponding locations by OCR. Invoices sent to the general OCR address will be coded based on the "ship to address" on invoices.

To submit to location based dropboxes use the following format: two+location code@ocr.fidesic.com

Add Banking Info

Before processing any payments (paper check or ACH) using Fidesic, you will need to enter bank account information. For this to function properly, this info must have a matching configuration on the Checkbook ID within Dynamics GP (under Financial > Checkbook). 

To add banking info, head to the Settings menu at the top right, then select Banking.

To add a bank account, you will need to enter all fields and then click Save. Note, the routing and account numbers much match as it is set on the Checkbook ID within Dynamics GP (under Financial > Checkbook).

Configure GL/Chart of Accounts

If you haven't already done so, it would be best to install the Fidesic Vendor Sync Module prior to configuring your GL accounts in Fidesic. Setting up these account names will enable individual GL segment based rules and stages within the workflow engine. 

To get to the GL Setup, Navigate to Company Settings -> Chart of Accounts tab.

To edit the segment names, click on a segment and the list will then become editable. 

Make sure to pick your number of segments and give each segment a name matching to how you have things set up in GP.

Add Locations

Location configuration will enable all Location based features within Fidesic, including user based location assignment, location based capture with OCR, and location based approval routing an visibility. 

To get to the Locations Setup, Navigate to Company Settings -> Locations tab.  

Note: if you do not see the locations tab, you need to enable Use GL Locations/Markets under the Company Preferences tab. 

Once enabled, you'll be able to use this page to add specific locations and tie them with your chart of accounts. You can add locations using the Add Location button, but to add multiple, or Location Addresses, you should click the link on the page that mentions a list of locations.
