Docs / Finmatics Autonomous Accounting / General Finmatics Access Data
Finmatics Autonomous Accounting operates exclusively in conjunction with a validated Finmatics account. Additional charges apply.
How do I request my Finmatics access?
To create a new account with Finmatics, it is necessary for you to fill out the Contact form on the Finmatics website. Finmatics will promptly get in touch with you, providing your account details and guiding you through the initial steps in the interface.
Before Finmatics Autonomous Accounting can be used, its basic functionality must be set up.
In the Finmatics Setup page the general settings and defaults are defined.
Finmatics Access Data, Fields
The first thing to do is to set up the connection with the Finmatics service. As soon as Environment, Username and Password are specified, the action Check Connection can be used to check whether the Finmatics service is reachable and a connection with the stored settings is possible.
For more information on how to request your Finmatics access, see General, Finmatics Access Data.
Environment
Indicates whether the Finmatics production environment or the Finmatics test environment is active resp. is used. The following applies: In a Business Central production environment, the Finmatics production environment is automatically active and in a Business Central sandbox environment, the Finmatics test environment is active. In a Business Central production environment, you can change the automatic setting.
Real Data Permission
Indicates whether data may be sent from the current Business Central environment to the Finmatics production environment. This additional security level prevents test data from being accidentally interpreted as real data. Click on the field to manage the Permissions.
For more information, see Setup, Real Data Permissions.
Specifies the length of time in milliseconds that the service is allowed to use, before aborting with an error.
Company ID
Specifies which Finmatics Company (Organization) should be used. Finmatics Companies are created by Finmatics and set up for Business Central (System BC or ID 37). Each Company has a unique ID. The Companies can be managed via the Finmatics Web Frontend. Several Finmatics Clients can be subordinated to one Finmatics Company. Click on the AssistEdit button of the field to select from already existing Finmatics Companies.
Client ID
Specifies to which Finmatics Client the current Business Central Company is linked. Click on the AssistEdit button of the field to set up the link.
Note
The Finmatics Client is created based on the Company Information.

If this information later changes, you can update the data at Finmatics at any time via the AssistEdit button of the field.
Master Data, Fields
After the connection is fully set up, the master data must be synchronized with the Finmatics system.
Note
Basically, the Business Central System is the leading system (with a few exceptions). Therefore, if master data is changed via the Finmatics Web Frontend, this does not affect the data stored in Business Central.
Status
The status fields indicate whether the Master Data is activated.
Note
Most of the Finmatics Autonomous Accounting actions can only be executed after the required Finmatics Master Data (Vendors and at least G/L Accounts or Items) have been activated and synchronized.
These fields specify whether the Master Data should be synchronized automatically when changes are made that affect the Finmatics Master Data. If the field is enabled, a Job Queue is automatically started which updates the data at Finmatics with a delay of max. 5 minutes.
G/L Account No. and Item No. Prefix
Specifies a prefix (e.g. A_ for G/L Accounts and I_ for Items) which is added to the accounts at Finmatics.
G/L Accounts and Items in Business Central can both be synchronized with the Accounts at Finmatics. If a G/L Account uses the same number as an Item, there will be overlaps. Assign a prefix to avoid these overlaps.
Determine Document Dimensions via 1st Line
Specifies whether the dimensions of the document (header) are to be determined via the 1st document line.
Transfer blank Dim. Codes
These fields specify whether empty dimension values in incoming Finmatics Documents should overwrite or remove any existing default values in Business Central.

Finmatics is machine-learning-driven and requires training data to generate good results. This field indicates whether training data has been uploaded to Finmatics.
For more information, see Setup, Training Data.
Document Attachment
Specifies which file should be added as a document attachment when creating a document in Business Central. Finmatics provides each document in PDF format. Optionally, the original file sent to Finmatics (e.g. an image file) is also available.
Amount Control
Specifies whether the Amount Control should only be performed for Finmatics Documents or for all Documents when posting a Purchase Invoice or a Purchase Credit Memo.
When posting, the Amount Control checks whether the Total Amount Incl. VAT of the document matches the value in the Finmatics Control Amount Incl. VAT field.
For more information, see Working with the App, Purchase Documents.
Auto. Receive Documents Status
Indicates whether a job queue is set up to automatically receive incoming Finmatics Documents. If a job queue exists, its current status is displayed. Click on the field to set up, manage or view the Job Queue.
Auto. Create Purch. Documents

For more information, see Setup, Real Data Permissions.
NAVAX License Management
Opens the NAVAX License Management which displays the current license status of the NAVAX extensions.
For more information, see Appendix, NAVAX License Management.
Docs / Finmatics Autonomous Accounting / Setup Real Data Permissions
Real Data Permissions add an additional level of security to actions and processes. This is to prevent test data from being accidentally interpreted as real data. Particularly critical actions and processes (e.g. sending data to an external service) can therefore only be executed if a real data permission has been granted for the current environment.
Practical example
You create a new test database in an on-premises environment by copying the real database, which contains the fully set up fiskaltrust extension. The service of the fiskaltrust extension has the function to sign documents that are subject to the cash register obligation and to protect them against manipulation. Without an additional security level, data from the test database would also be forwarded to fiskaltrust, where it would be interpreted as real data and reported to the tax office. However, this is prevented by the real data permissions function.
Manage Real Data Permissions
The real data permissions of an extension can be viewed or managed via the setup page of the extension in the system area. Real data permissions can only be granted for production environments and not for sandbox environments.
In the setup of the real data permissions, an environment is defined by the company name, the database name and the server name.
Fields
Company Name
Specifies the company name of the permitted environment.
Database Name
Specifies the database name of the permitted environment.
Server Name
Specifies the server name of the permitted environment.
Current Environment
Specifies whether the permitted environment is the current environment.
Date and Time
Specifies the date and time when the environment was permitted.
User ID
Specifies the ID of the user who permitted the environment.
User Name
Specifies the name of the User ID.
Actions
Permit Current Environment
Grants a real data permission for the current environment.
Warning
Do not permit your current environment unless you are absolutely sure.
Once the environment is permitted, the secured action or process can be called or executed by all users. Although real data permissions can be deleted or removed at any time, this does not undo actions that have already been performed.
Docs / Finmatics Autonomous Accounting / Setup Master Data
Most of the Finmatics Autonomous Accounting actions can only be executed after the required Finmatics Master Data (Vendors and at least G/L Accounts or Items) have been activated and synchronized.
Basically, the Business Central System is the leading system (with a few exceptions). Therefore, if master data is changed via the Finmatics Web Frontend, this does not affect the data stored in Business Central.

The NAVAX License Management page (in older versions "NAVAX License Overview" or "NCEX License Overview") displays the current license status of the NAVAX extensions.
In order for a NAVAX extension to be displayed in this page, the corresponding setup of the extension must first be opened.
Note
Changes as of Version xx.1.16.0
The NAVAX License Management page now supports automatic adding of NAVAX extensions. NAVAX extensions that use this system no longer need to have the corresponding extension setup opened first to be displayed in this page.

Specifies the current license status of the Extension.
Serial No.

Trial Version
A NAVAX extension can be tested or used free of charge for 30 days after installation. After that, the extension can only be used with a valid license.
Note
Changes as of Version xx.1.4.0
The licensing of a NAVAX extension is only necessary in the production environment. In the sandbox environment, NAVAX extensions can be tested unlimited.
Request License
The license can be requested or checked via the Current Status action (in older versions What's New?). This opens a window.
The following example shows the NAVAX extension Excel Report Builder.
Fill in the fields in the window and then click Send License Request.
Please note that the licensing process may take some time.
In the next few days you will receive an email with further information.

Activate/Update License
As soon as the licensing has been completed, you will receive an email and the license can be activated via the Update License action.
The license is company independent. So it does not matter in which company the action is called.
Note
The licence must be updated once a year via the Update License action.
The update is only possible or necessary within the last 30 days before the license expires, or afterwards. Within the last 30 days before the license expires, notes are displayed.
If the Automatic License Renewal is enabled, the Update License action is called automatically before the license expires. Note that the setting is only active after the license has been activated via the action.
