Halaxy integrates directly with Reckon One, so invoices and expenses you create in Halaxy are automatically replicated in Reckon One. This saves you time and effort and also makes it easier for your accountants and other advisers to provide you with accounting and bookkeeping services.
Note
To sync your Halaxy invoices and expenses with Reckon One, you must be on the Reckon One Essentials plan or above.
After your Halaxy and Reckon One accounts are synced, the connection is continuous and permanent, so invoices, expenses and payments you create in Halaxy automatically appear in your Reckon One account.

Important notes
Below are a number of things to note regarding your synced Halaxy and Reckon One accounts:
-
One-way syncing: The syncing between your Halaxy and Reckon One accounts is one-way. Invoices, expenses and payments created in Halaxy automatically appear in your Reckon One account but invoices, expenses and payments created in your Reckon One account do not automatically appear in your Halaxy account. Therefore, if you mark an invoice as paid in Reckon One, the invoice payment status contradicts the invoice payment status in Halaxy. You will need to update the invoice status in Halaxy manually.
-
Payment Methods: Payment methods are tracked in Halaxy but not in Reckon One, so payment methods recorded in Halaxy are not synced to Reckon One. However you can choose to sync payments to different charts of accounts based on payment method.
-
Auto Payments: Halaxy invoices that have been paid through Auto Payments are fully synced with your Reckon One account when the funds have been disbursed to you, usually two business days after the payment is processed, which you can see on your Auto Payments reports. Auto-payment charges appears as an expense in Reckon One.
-
Medicare rebates (Australia only): Invoices with bulk bill and DVA rebates paid to you are fully synced with your Reckon One account when the rebates have been paid to you, which you can confirm on your Medicare reports.
-
Partially paid invoices: Partially paid invoices appear in your Reckon One account with a status of "Unpaid".
-
Identical contact names: You cannot sync identical contact names. If two invoices have the same contact name, the second invoice will fail. You will need to open the invoice in Reckon One and change the Display name. Then go back to Halaxy, open the affected invoice and resync.
