FAQs

Which version of Access Dimensions do I need?

You need version 3.0 and above to connect via the full API, which includes the 15-minute auto-import. Version 2.6 and below connect via the broker service.

Is Lightyear embedded in Access Evo?

Yes. Lightyear is fully embedded within Access Evo. You can open it directly from there and manage all users and permissions from a single location.

Do you integrate with the Purchase Invoice Register (PIR)?

Yes. Lightyear sends all invoices to Access Dimensions via the PIR, either as a Purchase Ledger Entry or a Purchase Order Entry.

Can I still raise POs in Access Dimensions or Focal Point?

Absolutely. Lightyear works alongside Focal Point. You can continue to raise and approve POs there while Lightyear handles invoice capture and data extraction.

How often does Lightyear sync with Access Dimensions?

On version 3.0+, Lightyear automatically checks the Access Dimensions API every 15 minutes for any updates. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time.

Does Lightyear send the invoice attachment across Access Dimensions?

Yes. The invoice document is sent across alongside the extracted data.

Can I use Lightyear if I have multiple sub-ledgers?

Yes. You can default sub-ledgers at the company level or use keyword rule automation to assign them dynamically based on invoice content.

Can I use Lightyear just for data extraction, and keep approvals in Focal Point?

Yes. Lightyear can work purely as a data extraction and processing tool, capturing invoices and pushing them into Dimensions, while Focal Point continues to handle approvals as normal.
