Exact Online - Premium editions

Upgrade to a Premium edition of Exact Online

  • The upgrade to a Premium edition of Exact Online is scheduled and executed by Exact.
  • The moment of upgrade can be chosen.
  • The upgrade will take up to multiple hours, depending on the size of the related companies that need to be upgraded.
  • During the time of the upgrade Exact Online companies are not available for users.
  • A downgrade from a Premium edition to another edition of Exact Online, such as the Plus or Professional edition, is not currently possible. This downgrade is expected to become available later in 2024. 

Flex

  • Using Flex, additional fields can be added to master data and key transaction lines. Please note that not all Exact Online applications support Flex. The applications that are extensible are listed in Master Data | Developer | Extensions | Developer | Resources.
  • If Flex is (one of) the reason(s) to work with the Premium edition of Exact Online, always ask your Exact Account Manager about the possibilities in advance.
  • Exact certified Implementation Partners can implement and support Flex scenarios.

Automate

  • An extensive set of triggers and actions are offered. In case implementing Automate is (one of) the reason(s) to work with the Premium edition of Exact Online, then always check the possibilities upfront with your Exact Account manager.
  • Exact certified Implementation partners can implement and support Automate scenarios.

Microsoft Power BI connector

  • Exact offers a connector to MS Power BI.
  • Exact offers a set of templated dashboards to quickly get started using MS Power BI in combination with Exact Online Premium.
  • MS Power BI users are not included in your Exact license.
  • Exact Support provides assistance with questions about connecting Exact Online via the Power BI Connector. It does not provide support on how MS Power BI itself works or how to create Power BI reports.
  • Exact refers to MS Power BI experts and our certified Exact Online partners for Power BI report creation and related capabilities.

Backup/Restore

  • Exact creates backups of customer data for data recovery. Exact cannot provide or restore this backup at the customer's request.
  • Within the Premium editions of Exact Online, it is not possible for the customer to create backups for restore purposes. Working in an environment with interconnected solutions and applications makes it virtually impossible to go back in time.
  • For testing purposes, in addition to using a separate company, a Sandbox environment will become available in the Premium edition of Exact Online in the future. This add-on gives you a copy administration to test in isolation.

Accountant - Client link

  • The accountant can log into a client's linked Premium subscription via One Exact Identity. Also, the client's administrations are visible when selecting an administration.
  • It is not yet possible to access the data of clients, via the API with the login of the accountant. As an alternative, an extra user can be temporally added to access the client’s data.
  • The client's administrations are not yet visible in the various status overviews. This will gradually become available in the coming period.
  • Some functions, such as working with template administrations and in-context communication, are not yet available when the client works with the Premium edition of Exact Online. This is planned to become available.

Other

  • If you use payment links in your invoices (Mollie), the advice is to get them paid before you upgrade to the Premium edition or temporarily not send new invoices with a payment link until you have migrated. The payment link from before upgrade will no longer be valid after the upgrade. 
  • For Exact Online Projects customers: If you use digital timesheet signing by your customers, it is best to have these timesheets signed before the upgrade and not send any new timesheets until you have upgraded. The link for signing existing timesheets will no longer be valid after the upgrade.
  • The Smart Shop Floor function (SSF) is not available anymore after the migration to Exact Online Manufacturing Premium.
    The SSF function can be used Exact Online by shop floor users to keep track of their activities on the production floor, like entering hours on operations and issuing materials to a shop order. Make sure to adjust your working procedure and inform affected users about this change before migrating.
In case of questions, please contact your Exact Account manager.
