Wise-Sync Update
For ConnectWise partners using QuickBooks Online' (QBO) Automated Sales Tax (AST), we've made further improvements to AST error handling for your full convenience:
- When syncing invoices to QBO while AST is enabled, it is no longer a requirement that Wise-Sync matches the 'Tax Code Name,' as this is not a required field - instead, QBO will match the invoice's tax amount and apply the tax rate based on that invoice's provided 'Shipping to' address.
- In the event that the invoice tax is out of balance, only the tax override adjustment will be applied (when AST is enabled) - an invoice adjustment will no longer be applied on top of the tax override adjustment. If you're a user based in the US, please see 'QuickBooks Online Automated Sales Tax for ConnectWise Manage (US Region)' for further information.
A Brand-New User Interface:
- It's just the beginning! In this release, we've visually enhanced the log-in screen to excite users with a brand-new and ultra-modern user interface, which we'll be rolling out in its entirety over the next few releases (so stay tuned for more exciting updates).
Logging into Wise-Sync with 2FA (Two-factor authentication):
- From October 1, 2020 - all users and payers associated with an Australia-based Wise-Pay account will now be required to enter a verification code in order to log in to Wise-Sync and/or Wise-Pay:
- When attempting to login, if the user is yet to configure an authenticator app - then alternatively, a verification code is automatically sent to the registered email address;
- Here, users are provided with the option to either continue using email verification, or, to set-up an authentication app as their preferred verification method;
- If you require assistance with 2FA configuration, please see this article for your simple how-to guide.
Why is 2FA required for Australia-based users?
- In line with the Australian Software Business Association, and by extension through our integration partners, 2FA is now a mandatory requirement for third-party systems that provide access to sensitive company data.
- While this creates additional steps to access our platform, we also recognize that 2FA is an essential security standard needed to help safeguard your account from unauthorized users.
