Schedule Exports

Abacus' Scheduled Exports feature allows customers who use ERPs not yet integrated with Abacus to export their data more efficiently and without user intervention, enabling them to reconcile their accounting books more easily.

• Note: SFTP-based scheduled exports are only available for Abacus professional accounts.

Create a Custom Export Template

You will need to create a custom export template before you can schedule exports. See How to Create a Custom Export Template with Export Builder for complete details.
