The Comparison report is displaying "Can't find telephone number for SAMPLE PTY LTD", which phone number is this?

The discrepancy “Can't find telephone number for SAMPLE PTY LTD” is comparing the phone number in XPM to the Signing Contact phone number in NowInfinity. Ensure the Signing Contact's phone number is listed in NowInfinity.

The discrepancy “SAMPLE PTY LTD has different address” is comparing the Physical address in XPM to the Principle address of the Company Profile in NowInfinity.

Data in the Comparison Report is also listed as interactive items in Menu > Notification Center. To change an address, navigate to this page and search for the Company name to view the discrepancy.

The Comparison report is displaying “SAMPLE PTY LTD not found in XPM", however, this Company is in XPM.

Check the spelling and grammar are correct, for example, is the Company named "SAMPLE PTY. LTD." in XPM and "SAMPLE PTY LTD" in NowInfinity? They need to match exactly.
Check the Company is listed as a "Company" type in XPM. The "type" can be found under the Company name in their XPM profile.
Check article detailing how to connect XPM to NowInfinity, and ensure Step B onwards has been completed in this. If the labelling in NowInfinity is incorrect or missing, NowInfinity will not be able to match the Companies correctly. Ensure the labelling is exactly as it's listed in XPM, i.e. spelling, grammar, capital letters etc.

"All entities" will push to XPM the addresses and Officeholders, as well as the Company name. If an Officeholder already exists in XPM as an Individual, a duplicate will be created.
"Company Name" will just create a Company Profile in XPM and avoid duplicated Officeholders.

 

I'm trying to push a document to XPM from NowInfinity, why can't I see the Company?

When you select a document to push across to XPM, a list of Companies in XPM should appear to choose from.

Therefore if the Company isn’t on the list, go to Menu > Portal Settings > Xero, and select "Sync Data". This will refresh the connection.
