Export to your accounting system
Getting reviewed documents out of beres and into your books. There are two ways, depending on your export target.
Before you can export
Every document in the batch must show Ready. The export button stays disabled otherwise. Blocked documents are left out of any file that is generated.
Option A — download an import file
Available on SQL Account (eStream) and SQL Account ARAP.
In the review workspace, export the batch. You get an Excel file which you then import in SQL Account as you normally would.
- One file per document type. If your batch mixes types, you get a ZIP containing one file per type.
- Maximum 100 documents per export. Split larger batches.
- Exported documents are marked Processed automatically.
Import the file in SQL Account the same way you import any other. beres produces the file; it does not perform the import.
Option B — push over the API
Available on SQL Account (eStream), SQL Account ARAP, and AutoCount Cloud (which is push-only — there is no file). API push is included on every current public plan, but saved credentials are required — see Connect your accounting API.
In the review workspace, push the batch. The entries are created in your accounting system directly; nothing to download, nothing to import.
Two things to know:
- It runs in the background. The push is queued and processed; documents flip to Processed as each one lands. It is not instant, and you can navigate away.
- It is safe to retry. A document that has already been pushed is never pushed twice. If you re-select a batch you'll see "Already pushed — nothing new to send." and only genuinely new documents go out.
Marking documents Processed yourself
On file targets, each row in Documents has a Processed toggle. Generating an export file sets it for you, but you can set it by hand — useful if you keyed a document in manually.
The toggle only applies to cleanly extracted documents on file targets. On API-push targets it is set by the push itself and is not yours to change.
Common messages
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| "Direct API push isn't enabled on your plan." | Current public plans include API push. Check Billing & plan for your organization's assigned plan; contact support if the message remains. |
| "Your export target doesn't support direct API push." | Your target is file-only. Download the file. |
| "Nothing to push — N already pushed." | Everything selected is already in your accounting system. |
| "You have reached maximum N concurrent database connections. There are N users logon currently." | SQL Account has no free database connection for the API. Ask someone to log off SQL Account, then push again. |
| "Export failed — please try again." | Try once more; if it repeats, contact support. |
| "Push failed — please try again." | As above. |
If the export downloads a small file that isn't a spreadsheet
When an export can't be produced, nothing downloads and the reason appears on screen — usually "nothing to export — all selected documents are blocked or unresolved". Go back and fix the flagged documents.
If documents never turn Processed after a push
The push failed somewhere between beres and your accounting system. Look for a ⚠ warning icon next to the document — the tooltip names the reason and reads "Push failed: … — fix the cause, then push again".
Fix the cause, then push the document again the normal way. Re-pushing a batch is safe: documents already delivered are skipped, never posted twice.
Common causes: API credentials no longer valid, SQL Account's concurrent database connection limit being full, a supplier without a code in your accounting system, or lines with no GL account. See The push didn't reach my accounting system.
