Integrating Masterfiles
GL Accounts must be created in your respective financial software and then imported into Paradigm. To Import GL Accounts, firstly navigate to 'Integration Console' > 'Operational Data' > 'Masterfiles'.
This is where you can import data from the financial system into Paradigm. These Masterfiles are maintained within the financial system and can be resynced on this screen at anytime.
To integrate, select the rows you wish to fetch and click the 'Queue for Integration' button. 
The 'Status' will change from 'Not Queued for Integration' to 'Queued for Integration'. Once completed the status will revert back.
