Securely exchange Acumatica ERP files over SFTP

The Acumatica ERP integration with Couchdrop is designed for teams that need a secure, practical way to move ERP files between Acumatica and external systems. Acumatica can synchronize files with SFTP locations using SSH key authentication, while Couchdrop provides the managed SFTP endpoint and routing layer for those files.

This is useful for exchanging files such as sales orders, inventory updates, shipment exports, vendor files, bank files, financial reports, and other CSV or XML-based operational data. Acumatica can generate or consume files using its import and export scenario tools, while Couchdrop handles secure transfer into cloud storage, partner folders, internal applications, or automated file workflows.

With Couchdrop, Acumatica file exchange does not need to stop at a single SFTP folder. Files can be routed into more than 30 storage platforms, copied to external recipients, renamed, filtered, or handed off to downstream processes. Transfers stream through Couchdrop without files being retained, giving teams a secure way to connect ERP file workflows without building and maintaining their own SFTP infrastructure.

• Use Couchdrop as the SFTP endpoint for Acumatica file synchronization
• Receive exported Acumatica files and route them to cloud storage or partner folders
• Stage inbound CSV or XML files for Acumatica import scenarios
• Support finance, order, shipment, inventory, vendor, and banking file workflows
• Automate routing, renaming, copying, and downstream delivery after files arrive

Acumatica file exchange usually starts with the files and scenarios already used by your ERP team. Couchdrop supplies the secure transfer endpoint and the destination routing around that process.

Exporting files from Acumatica to Couchdrop

1. Create or choose a Couchdrop SFTP user for Acumatica. The user should point to the Couchdrop directory where Acumatica exports should land.
2. In Acumatica, configure SFTP file synchronization using the Couchdrop SFTP host, port, username, and SSH key details.
3. Create the Generic Inquiry, data provider, and export scenario needed to produce the file Acumatica should send.
4. Schedule the export scenario and file synchronization process so new file versions are transferred to Couchdrop automatically.
5. Use Couchdrop automations to route the exported file to cloud storage, a partner directory, or another internal system.

Importing files into Acumatica through Couchdrop

1. Create a Couchdrop folder for inbound Acumatica files from trading partners, storage platforms, or internal systems.
2. Allow partners or applications to upload files to Couchdrop by SFTP, FTP, mailbox, or another supported transfer method.
3. Make the file available to Acumatica through the SFTP path used by the relevant data provider or file synchronization setup.
4. Run or schedule the Acumatica import scenario to validate and process the incoming file.
5. Use Couchdrop routing rules to archive processed files, separate failed files, or deliver copies to audit and reporting locations.
