When you integrate modules, you set up the software to share information and data with other modules. If you turn integration on, when you post, the software will reflect information updates in other modules where associated accounts or items exist. If you turn integration off, the actions in one module will not affect the other.

You can find and set the integration options in the Module Preferences window for each module. You can only integrate modules that have information to share with one another. For example, you can integrate the Sales module to Inventory so you can update stock item quantities. You can integrate all modules to General Ledger so you can post to your accounts.

If you elect to integrate, the software is designed to share data between the modules. When you post a transaction, the information will be sent to the module(s) that have integration turned on and is automatically reflected throughout the software.

Integration is always controlled on the outgoing side. For example, you can control what modules you want Inventory to send information to, but you will need to go to the respective modules to change the information other modules share and post to Inventory. So, if you decide you don’t want transactions you post from Accounts Payable to affect Inventory, you need to turn off the integration in Accounts Payable so it does not send the information to Inventory.
