A one-time guided setup on the AutoCount machine, done within a day. After that, approved invoices post with one click — no export, no import, no re-keying. First in Malaysia.

At a Glance

The full flow, in seven steps

  1. Install the BalanceNow desktop agent — a small program installed beside AutoCount — on the AutoCount Windows machine or server.
  2. Pair it with BalanceNow using a one-time setup code from your settings.
  3. Detect AutoCount books and import the correct book for the client.
  4. Review and approve the supplier invoice in BalanceNow.
  5. Push the approved invoice to AutoCount with one click.
  6. BalanceNow shows the posted AutoCount PI number — normally within about a minute.
  7. Verify the PI in AutoCount: A/P → A/P Invoice Entry → Find the PI number.

What setup involves

Guided, on the AutoCount machine

One-time
  • Install once, on the Windows machine or server that runs AutoCount
  • Pair with a one-time setup code from your BalanceNow settings
  • Detect the AutoCount books and import the correct one
  • Done — one time per server. The next client on the same server skips the install

Installing is one-time per AutoCount server. For another client on the same server, skip the install — just pick or import the correct book.

What pushing looks like

Every month after that

One click
  • Your accountant reviews and approves the prepared entries
  • One click — Push to AutoCount
  • Posted with the AutoCount PI number shown in BalanceNow, normally within about a minute
  • Verify anytime in AutoCount: A/P Invoice Entry → Find the PI number

The Proof

What posted looks like

BalanceNow posted proof banner showing the AutoCount PI document number
Posted to AutoCount with the PI number — the document locks because your ledger is the source of truth.

FAQ

Setup questions, answered straight

Do we install anything on every staff laptop?
No. The install happens once, on the Windows machine or server that runs AutoCount. Your staff use BalanceNow in the browser as usual.
How long does setup take?
It is a one-time guided setup, done within a day — usually much less. Pairing uses a one-time code from your BalanceNow settings, and we guide the whole thing.
What if the supplier doesn't exist in AutoCount yet?
BalanceNow creates the creditor first, then posts the purchase invoice. You will see the created creditor before treating the push as complete.
Can a pushed invoice be double-posted?
Re-pushing an already posted invoice does not create another purchase invoice. Each approved document gets one AutoCount PI number, shown in BalanceNow as proof.
What happens if a push fails?
The document shows a clear failure message in BalanceNow. Fix the issue and retry the push — do not key the invoice manually first, or you may end up with duplicates.
