Hull can push your customers, invoices, credit notes and payments straight into your accounting system — one Hull invoice becomes one accounting invoice.
Hull sets up the connection for you
You do not enter API keys or account numbers. Send Hull support the details of your accounting system and we connect it at our end, because getting the customer control account and the posting accounts right is fiddly and only has to happen once.
What you will see afterwards, under Payments → Accounting Sync → Settings, is simply whether it is connected — and a Check connection button.
Three things must be right on your side first
These live in your accounting system, not in Hull, and Hull cannot create them for you. Sort them out before the first send or every document will bounce.
1. A tax code, if you charge SST
This is the one that catches people out. If your academy charges SST, your accounting system needs a tax code for it, and Hull needs to be told which one.
In AutoCount that code is SV-8 — 8% service tax, output/supply, on a payment basis. Do not type it in by hand: open Account Book Setting → Tax Settings, run the SST wizard, let it create the SST accounts and tick SV-8. A tax code keyed in manually is not linked to the government code and quietly drops out of your SST-02 return.
Then tell Hull support the code so we can set it against your connection.
While you are there, check your SST registration number is filled in on the company profile. Without it your invoices are not valid tax invoices.
Not registered for SST? Then none of this applies, and your prices should carry no tax in Hull either. If Hull is adding tax and you are not registered, tell us — one of the two is wrong.
2. The financial year must be open
Your accounting system only accepts documents dated inside an open financial period. If your books open on 1 August, nothing dated before that can be posted.
Hull support sets a start date on your connection to match, so older documents are never even offered. If you see "dated outside the open financial period", these two have drifted apart — tell us.
3. Item codes, if you use them
If you want each package to appear as a named item in your accounts, that item has to exist there. You can create them from Hull with one click — see Map your packages to your accounts.
Leaving items blank is perfectly fine. The sale still lands in the right income account.
Then: check, map, preview, send
- Check connection under Settings. It should name your company.
- Income Accounts — say which income account each package belongs in.
- Preview on the Send tab, before the first real send.
- Go through that preview with whoever keeps your books, once. Getting the accounts right on day one is much cheaper than correcting a month of postings.
Sending by hand, or overnight
Out of the box nothing goes across until someone presses Send. That is the safer way to start.
Once you trust it, turn on Send automatically each night under Settings.
