Vantagepoint Integrations


Integration with Xero Using Deltek Unionpoint

With Deltek Unionpoint, you can integrate and connect a new Vantagepoint PSA database with an existing Xero database, so that your project accounting is managed in Vantagepoint and your general ledger is managed in Xero.

Unionpoint is an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaas) solution that allows non-technical business users to build, deploy, and manage integrations with Deltek solutions.

The Unionpoint integration is currently available only to new Vantagepoint 5.5.4 customers who use the Vantagepoint Front Office Package (PSA, CRM Plus, Time & Expense, and Resource Planning modules). You must have the latest version of Xero Accounting — Premium.

The integration is not available to existing Vantagepoint customers. If you are an existing customer and you use the Vantagepoint Exports utility to export Vantagepoint data to Xero (using a data definition based on the XEROClientInvoice data pack), the setup and processing in the Exports utility is separate from the Unionpoint integration.

For more information about the integration between Vantagepoint and Xero using Unionpoint, see Xero Integration with Vantagepoint in the Vantagepoint Help.
