### Default scope

This integration sync automates PMS accounting (also called Property Management System), making manual exports unnecessary.

The integration imports sales and payments entries into accounting on the frequency defined in the configuration (daily, weekly or monthly).
The integration supports management of different payment methods, product categories and/or VAT rates.
The accounting entries are created in the accounting journal specified in the configuration.
You can choose whether to have:

* a single entry per period

* a single entry per invoice

A specific period is only imported if the period is closed (max 7 days or defined in the configuration of the software)

### Mappings

Mappings define how data from the PMS software maps to the accounting software.
