TxDownloaderPro ← Salesforce — Sage Intacct: what the shipped default templates set up

This is the capability summary the dlake CLI repository publishes; whitelisted customers fetch the operational skill with "dlake admin get_skill dlake-txdownloaderpro-salesforce/erps/sage-intacct". It extends the dlake-txdownloaderpro-salesforce skill, which holds what is true whatever the source ERP. Both directions for this pair are summarised at /integrations/sage-intacct-salesforce/.

TxDownloaderPro ← Salesforce — Sage Intacct: what the shipped default templates set up

This is a capability summary, not an operating guide. To receive the operational skill you must be a registered, whitelisted Commercient customer. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-txdownloaderpro-salesforce/erps/sage-intacct (or list_skills) against the Commercient admin plane. Existing customers who need access or help: contact support@commercient.com. New customers: contact sales@commercient.com to become a customer and be whitelisted.

dlake-txdownloaderpro-salesforce is the Salesforce page and carries the destination detail: it is the skill this page is a child of, and the authority for the conventions that hold across every ERP, so read it before this page.

What follows is only what the shipped default templates for this pair themselves set, described from their default query, default inbound mapping and default outbound mapping columns. It is a description of structure: which objects and marker columns are read, which parts and members are filled, which token names appear. No template text is reproduced. This page grows as the default catalogue does. The community templates the catalogue also carries for this pair are listed in a section of their own below, by count, object and name only.

1. What the templates deliver

One row per process the default set ships for this pair. The business language is the catalogue’s own, where it carries any; where it does not, the row says what the source and destination objects are and what the operation flags allow. Operations are the union of the insert, update and delete flags over that process’s templates.

ProcessWhat it deliversSource → destinationTemplatesOperations
Create New ContactSalesforce Contacts to Sage Intacct ContactContact → Contact1create
Create New ContractSalesforce Contract to Sage Intacct ContractContract → Contract1create

Create new Sales OrderSalesforce Order to Sage Intacct Sales OrderOrder → Sales order1create
Update CustomerSalesforce Update Account to Sage Intacct CustomerAccount → Customer1update
Update ItemSalesforce Update Product to Sage Intacct ItemProduct → Item1update

Across the 9 default templates: 7 carry insert, 2 carry update, 0 carry delete. A flag decides which operation the process is allowed to perform, not which one it performs on a given record. 2 catalogue descriptions were not printed because they are placeholders or carry text that is not ours to publish.

2. The process rows the import creates

Importing one of these templates writes one TxDownloaderPro row. The columns the import fills from the template are the ones the operational skill describes: the query, the inbound and outbound mappings and the operation flags are all stored on that row. In-flight state is never in this table — it is in the writeback transaction log (in the operational skill), keyed by its state.

What the import setsWhere it comes from
Querythe template’s default query — section 3
inbound mappingthe template’s default inbound mapping — section 4
outbound mappingthe template’s default outbound mapping — section 5
insert / update / deletethe template’s own flags — section 1

2 of these template rows carry a licence group, so what a given tenant is offered in the picker is narrower than what the catalogue holds.

3. What the query retrieves

Query does not have one shape across the product (in the operational skill). For this pair, 9 carry a query statement in the CRM’s own query language. No query text is reproduced here; what follows is what those queries read and filter on.

  • Objects read: Contact, Contract, Account, Billing lines (custom child records), Product, Opportunity, order products.
  • Child collections pulled in the same query: Billing lines (custom child records), order products. A header retrieved without its lines is a query that does not name the child collection.
  • Marker and key columns the queries name: Commercient AR customer code, External key (custom field), Commercient external key (earlier package). These are the columns a user’s flag lands in and the columns the run writes an outcome back to; which ones are in the filter is what decides whether a record is in scope at all.
  • Operators present: !=, =, and, a test for an empty value. The operational skill is the authority on the vocabulary; the point here is only which of it these templates use.
  • Where the filtering happens: in the query, on the CRM side, before anything reaches the source system. Narrowing a template means editing its query — not its mapping.

4. The inbound mapping document

Inbound mapping is a flat object: each member names a field on the source side and its value is a template resolved against the retrieved record’s document (in the operational skill). Of this pair’s 9 default templates, 8 carry a default inbound mapping and 1 carries none. A parseable document carries about 12 members.

  • Template path roots used: Account, Contact, Billing (custom object), Billing lines (custom child records), Order, Contract, Opportunity, Product, order products. A path’s first segment has to match the element the engine emits, and the document root itself is never part of the path.
  • Line members present: a collection member, line account number, transaction amount, line location, line memo, total paid, revenue recognition start date, revenue recognition end date, line class, user field names, user field values, user field delimiter, line item identifier, line item description, line quantity, line price. 2 templates name the collection through a collection member; the members beside it are resolved against that collection’s own root rather than through the header.

5. Result structure — what goes back to the CRM

Outbound mapping is the outbound half: up to four parts, each optional, filled from the source system’s response after the write (in the operational skill). Of this pair’s 9 default templates, 4 carry a parseable default outbound mapping, 5 carry none.

PartFilled byWhat it addressesMembers present
Part 14 templatesthe record the run is already working witha map from source path to CRM field
Part 20 templates (4 explicitly null)the line records under it—
Part 30 templates (4 explicitly null)a new record, matched on an external id field—
Part 40 templates (4 explicitly null)a different record, addressed by an id field—
  • CRM fields Part 1 writes to: External key (custom field). These are the fields on the flagged record that carry the source system’s key or outcome once the write has happened — the names only; what lands in them is the response, per record.
  • Response fields it reads them from: returned record number. The map is written source path first, CRM field second (in the operational skill); the wrong way round resolves to the same silent empty string as a mistyped path.

6. Community templates

The catalogue carries community templates for this pair as well as the default set above: templates written on a tenant rather than shipped. Their content is not read and not described here — no query, no mapping document, no field. What this section states is how many there are, which objects they start from, what they are called where the name is a product artefact name, and which process versions they belong to.

  • How many: 10 community templates, across 7 process versions.
  • Operations: 8 carry insert, 2 carry update, 0 carry delete. A flag decides which operation the template is allowed to perform, as it does for a default template.
Source → destinationTemplates
Customer → —3
Item → —3
Invoice → —2
AP bill → —1
Sales order → —1

None of these rows carries a destination object name in the catalogue, so the destination side of every shape above is empty.

  • Template names the catalogue carries: Create Customer (1), Create Invoice (1), Create Item (1), Create New Bill (1), Create New Customer (1), Create New Invoice (1), Create New Item (1), Create New Sales Orders (1), Update Customer (1), Update Item (1).

Importing one of these writes the same TxDownloaderPro row that importing a default template writes (in the operational skill); what differs is where the template came from, not how it is stored. What any one of them contains is read from the imported row itself.

7. Verifying

Read the imported row before a run, not after. The operational skill is the authority on the TxDownloaderPro tools and on the state they report.

The two failures this pair’s templates actually produce: a run that retrieves nothing, which is the query’s own condition and not the mapping; and a record that arrives with fields empty, which is a path that does not match the emitted document.

8. Where this sits

  • dlake-txdownloaderpro — the parent: exposure, key scoping, the two tables, its state, the mapping columns, the filter vocabulary, the TxDownloaderPro tools. Read it first.
  • dlake-txdownloaderpro-salesforce — the Salesforce destination page, which this page is a child of: the query shape, marker conventions and mapping conventions this destination uses across every ERP, and the ERP table that lists this page and its siblings.
  • dlake-integration-setup — registration, CRM choice and the ERP connector, of which writeback is one step.
  • dlake-crmpro and dlake-normalsync — the inbound leg, going the other way.
  • dlake — general tenant operation.

This page describes the shipped default template set for this pair, and grows as that set does.
