For example, a newly created client or product. This guide will cover the most common places to check, explaining the logic throughout. The examples here will be generic and not specific error codes per integration. For more information on these, check the relevant integration guide.</p><p><br></p><p>If you have any issues syncing an entity following this guide, please contact support for further assistance.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Is the integration enabled?</span></strong></p><p>In Configuration &gt; Integrations, ensure the module for the accounting tool is enabled.</p><p><br></p><p>Hovering over the module will show a plus &quot;+&quot; icon if disabled. A cross icon will show if enabled, and the module logo will be coloured in.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6Ijk1NDg5NzNmLTRjN2YtNDFlNy04ODJmLWQ0MGE0NTI4MjE1ZSJ9.K1RSK5yU1XxTrUpyGiEft2e6VDzhN5I_2UxexJi8P58" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" width="203" height="132"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 1.

This is where you configure which entities will sync to the accounting tool when created or edited. Ensure the relevant entity is set here.</p><p><br></p><p>It is also recommended to enable the &quot;Show a message for each successful sync&quot; option if available, as it will show any errors when syncing, helping narrow down the cause easier.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjBhNmNkYzgxLTQ4ZjktNDM1YS1iOGU5LTczYjgzY2U5OWY3MiJ9.B4ZPJJtUQqkhL-YmK77gzKS6KmLunGq7lmZcOP3zWvk" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" width="1282" height="290"></p><p><strong data-pasted="true"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 2.
