Each Velixo connection can access data from a single Acumatica Tenant. In this example, if we wanted to access data from both Tenants, we would need to create a Velixo connection for each.

 

An Acumatica Tenant will contain one or more Companies.

 

Each Company may contain one or more Branches. A branch is a logical entity which can represent physical locations of a company, such as the company’s offices, departments, etc. All branches within a Company share the Company's base currency and chart of accounts.

 

Many Velixo functions allow you to filter by one or more branches. To retrieve all data from Company 1 above (for example), would require filtering on all three of the branches within that company. Velixo's BRANCHLIST function can be helpful in determining the branches in a specified company.

 

When configuring a company within Acumatica, we have three options:
