## Step-by-step

1. ### Map accounting accounts

   Each category (meals, hotel...) is mapped to a 6XX account. VAT points to its dedicated account (44566 in France).
2. ### Pick the format

   Native Sage/Quadra connector (recommended) or FEC, CSV, XLS export. Frequency is configurable (daily, weekly, monthly).
3. ### Run the export

   *Export period* button. Immediate download or automatic SFTP/API push.
4. ### Verify the integration

   The *Reconciliation* report compares Illizeo expenses to entries actually posted in accounting.

## Available connectors

| Software | Integration type | Frequency |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sage 100/X3 | Native API | Real time |
| Quadra | SFTP file | Daily |
| Cegid Visual | Native API | Real time |
| EBP | Manual CSV import | On demand |

## FAQ

   How are receipts handled?

The expense PDF with photos lands in the accounting DMS. Statutory 10-year retention is covered.

   What about non-reclaimable VAT?

Separated from the 44566 account and posted directly to expense.

   Can I preview before export?

Yes, the preview shows entries that would be posted without triggering the export.

   What if accounting rejects an entry?

HR can *Reopen* the report for correction.
