ReadSoft Online Integration
Introduction
ReadSoft Online is ReadSoft's solution for capturing and verifying invoices in an online settings. Integration between the PROCESSIT and ReadSoft Online involves scheduled jobs synchronizing master data between the two environments and transfer verified documents to PROCESSIT. Once the integration is configured, users can log in to ReadSoft Online and upload invoices. The invoice is then verified in ReadSoft ONLINE and submitted for import to PROCESSIT, where they follow the normal process into the Oracle E-Business Suite Accounts Payable.
The integration connects the workflow with the cloud capture solution, using APIs to import master data from Oracle E-Business Suite to ReadSoft Online.
The main integration settings are handled via the main ReadSoft Online account provided with the license and PROCESSIT configuration parameters on site and user level.
An account must be setup and enabled in ReadSoft Online prior to integration configuration performed in PROCESSIT.
Integration Checklist

Configuration
Configure the appropriate PROCESSIT configuration parameters.
Data transfer
Two sheduled jobs are run to determine when and how often import of master data and invoice data transfer from ReadSoft Online to PROCESSIT happens. The jobs are scheduled via configuration parameters.
Master Data Transfer
When the master data import job is run according to the defined schedule, Master Data from Oracle E-Business Suite is transferred to and stored in ReadSoft Online. The master data contains user credentials along with organization access, and organizations with connected suppliers.
All users that should be replicated to ReadSoft Online must be defined prior to Master Data import in order to create them in ReadSoft Online.
Once the master data transfer has been run once, if there is no need to run it on a schedule, you can disable the job to ensure that no unneccesary network traffic takes place.
Document to Workflow Transfer
When the invoice import job is run according to the defined schedule, invoices that have been verified and marked as eligeble are pulled by PROCESSIT and begins the workflow procedure. Invoices received via ReadSoft Online follow the standard workflow procedures and are validated and matched according to standard PROCESSIT business configuration.
The invoice data is sent to the workflow, while the image is archived and referenced from the workflow tasks, according to PROCESSIT setup.

Once standard users have been replicated, their roles and privileges in ReadSoft Online are viewed and managed in Users under the User Management option for the customer entry corresponding to your company.
Imported users from Oracle E-Business Suite are shown and managed in the Users option. Email must match the email defined for the user in Oracle E-Business Suite.

- Buyers define the organizations that the user is allowed to access. This corresponds to permissions for organizations in Oracle E-Business Suite and is set during master data import. You can change the settings here, but note that they will be reset to match the ERP settings when master data import is run.
Remember that when access is granted to a new user, the master data import must run before the user is available in ReadSoft Online.
