Additional instructions:

Requirements 

  • The Salesforce API must be enabled.
  • Standard contact and account fields that are set to ‘Hidden’ can cause problems. To check this, sign in to your Salesforce account > click on ‘Setup’ > click on ‘App Setup’(left menu) > click on ‘Customize’ > cick on ‘Contacts’ > click on ‘Fields’. Click on the field name, and you will be taken to the Field Information screen for that particular field. Click on ‘Set Field-Level Security’ button, and make sure ‘Visible’ check box is ticked for your profile.
  • Make sure IP restrictions will allow the server to access your account. This can be set in Setup > Security settings and under Administration Setup cick Network Settings.
  • Session IP restrictions must be disabled: sessions can be restricted to a particular IP address, so that any other requests would not be valid unless they are from the same IP address which initiated the session. Go to Setup > Security settings and under Administration Setup cick Session Settings.


BizLinc Setup

The following field validations must be disabled in BizLinc:
Items:
  • ‘Product’ Items must have ‘I Buy This Item’ enabled
  • Inventory Items must have “I Buy This Item” selected
  • You cannot specify “I Buy This Item” and “Virtual Item” at the same time
  • The template data from BizLinc may need to be cleared out – unless you want to do a manual migration (see the Integrating Existing Data on VillageChief Sync document). The financial accounts, for example, don’t have a ledger code and won’t match up to any accounts from your financial software package (MYOB, Saasu, etc).
