PerfectView API

On the tabs below you can enter the settings for linking with the PerfectView API:

API settings

First, enter the PerfectView API key, Database ID and User ID. Without these setting you cannot add or edit the settings on other tabs.

The keys can be generated at/obtained from PerfectView at Settings -> Links -> Api.

Administration

Select the PerfectView product and PerfectView VAT code to be used for invoicing from TimeWriter. The selected product must be set in PerfectView in such a way that price and description may be changed.

Select to which PerfectView relation ID must be linked with TimeWriter: Relation number, Relation code or Debtor number.

Set whether PerfectView is leading in relation to TimeWriter. If PerfectView is leading then the customer data in PerfectView is never overwritten by TimeWriter data. If PerfectView is not leading then, when generating invoices, the customer data in PerfectView is overwritten with the data set "In use" from TimeWriter (see: Invoicing -> Settings -> Customer data -> Customer invoice data). Note: In this case the organization name is also overwritten.

Update customers

On this tab TimeWriter customers can be updated with, linked to and imported from PerfectView customer data.
