New 2026-10-07: the Sync screen didn’t exist in earlier documentation — it shipped alongside the per-connection automation settings described in Connect FikaTrade to Xero.
With automatic updates turned off (the default), FikaTrade doesn’t silently change anything when it notices a difference between your FikaTrade data and a connected integration like Xero — it raises the difference as a finding on the Sync screen, for you to review and decide.

​
Where it is

Go to Settings → Sync. It’s one shared screen across every integration you’ve connected and every kind of record (products, invoices, and so on) — each combination gets its own tab.

​
Who can use it

Any team member can view findings. Deciding on a finding — or running a sync on demand — requires a supplier administrator.

​
What a finding shows

  • The field (or fields) that differ, with FikaTrade’s value next to the other system’s.
  • How the two records are linked, and when they last agreed.
  • For an invoice draft, a line-by-line comparison.

​
Deciding a finding

You can select several findings of the same kind at once and apply one decision to all of them.

​
How often FikaTrade checks

This depends on the record type and isn’t something you can configure — for example, products are checked roughly every 5 minutes, invoices once a night. A supplier administrator can also trigger an immediate check from this screen, either for everything a connection covers (Sync now) or for one linked record (Check external copies).
