How often is data imported? When is data synced?

ScaleXP imports data from your accounting system, including budget data, automatically once a day, and you can also sync manually at any time.


Automatic sync (daily sync)

Data from the accounting system, including budget data, is imported automatically once a day. The import starts at 1am UTC for organizations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, 8am UTC for the Americas, and 3pm UTC for Asia-Pacific, based on your organization’s country.

By default, ScaleXP only re-imports accounting data going back 6 months. However, you can change this at any time.


Manual sync (instant sync)

You can also import data manually. See How to activate an immediate data sync.
