PostTrans XML API for Sage 50 - Transactions

The PostTrans XML API for Sage 50 will import many kinds of transactions using a common format for all Sage 50 Transaction types, which is we hope easy to understand.   The PostTrans XML API will lookup and missing data, such default nominals, Prices, etc if not given similar to entering a transaction in Sage 50.

For example, each transaction has a <THTransType> tag which denoted the type of transaction.   “SI” is a Sales invoice, “PO” Purchase Order, “SO” Sales Order, “SIAT” is an Sales Invoice which posts to Sage 50 Audit Trail.   Thus any of the examples below can be simply edited from say a Sales invoice, to a Purchase invoice.  Note some fields are applicable to Sales and Purchase orders (and Sales Invoice module) these are listed in the table at the bottom of the page.

List of Tags/Entities for mapping are at bottom of page.

Sage 50 API Validation

After creating a Sage 50 Transaction, the XML file is moved to a processed folder.   Or it could have been downloaded from an SFTP site or IMAPI e-mail address.   If the process fails validation, then the error/errors are appended to the top of the file, and the file is moved to a Failed folder.  A user can then easily edit the Transaction XML file and resubmit to PostTrans XML API for Sage 50.

Rounding

Rounding can often be a problem with importing from an external system, since the external system may not be rounding up the VAT the same as Sage 50.   Below are a few examples of how you can either import a Net figure plus VAT amount from the external system or using Inclusive of VAT.   Inclusive of VAT does not currently work with Sales/Purchase Orders and the Invoice Module.
