AutoCount API Integration
SAP Software and ERP Software integrates with the AutoCount API through various methods:
API Integration
SAP Software and ERP Software can directly interact with AutoCount using the .NET Framework. This method allows developers to reference AutoCount assemblies for deep integration. Requires the AutoCount API Module license.
Plug-in Integration
SAP Software and ERP Software can also integrate with AutoCount API using a plug-in that runs as an attached process to the parent application. This method involves writing a plug-in for AutoCount Accounting that performs batch updates of transactions or data into the account book. The plug-in uses AutoCount Accounting API to interact with the system.
How Does the AutoCount E-Invoicing Platform (AIP) Work?
The AutoCount E-Invoice Platform is designed to streamline the invoicing process, making it more efficient and compliant with regulatory requirements such as those of Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (LHDN). Here’s how it works:
- Invoice Creation
Users create invoices within AutoCount software, entering product details, quantities, prices, and taxes.
- Data Validation
Platform validates invoice data for completeness and compliance with LHDN requirements.
- Format Conversion
Validated invoice is converted to XML/JSON format that meets LHDN’s e-invoicing standards.
