Capture Expense integrates with Iplicit to streamline expense management. Before syncing, clear any existing categories that share names with Iplicit records to avoid conflicts.
Integrating iPlicit with Capture Expense
Note: You must be a system administrator to access this functionality.
Preparing for record Sync / removing existing items in categories and tax records.
Important: We recommend you clear out categories before syncing with Iplicit. There could be potential issues if you sync and there are categories already in Capture Expense with the same name in Iplicit.
Before running a sync, remove any existing tax records and categories to avoid duplicates.
To remove tax records: go to Setup > Tax Records and use the delete icon on each record.
To remove categories: go to Setup > Categories and delete records individually, or go to Actions > Export, set the Delete column to Y for each record, save the file, and import it back.
Once cleared, click Record Sync in the right-hand action menu. This syncs your tax records, categories (products), people, and tags (cost centres, projects, and departments).
To sync individual areas in future, go to the relevant section (for example, Setup > Tags) and use the Actions dropdown.
Connecting to Iplicit

If not already auto-populated, from the Export Format dropdown select the Iplicit.
Complete the date and reference, then press Export.
A popup box appears with Cancel or Update.
Updated transaction will be moved from Accounting into Expenses > Archive.
Cancelled transactions will remain in Accounting.
Note: The export may take a few moments as the transaction data, files, and receipts are being collated and sent across.
If an item fails to import into Iplicit, you can update the transaction in question and re-export. Iplicit will check to see if the transaction already exists, create new items if required, or update an existing item.
