📎NOTE: If you’re using AutoEntry from Sage for Accountant in France, you can use most resources on the Help Centre. However, these articles were initially meant for the Standalone version of AutoEntry. When using AutoEntry via SFA, articles such as login, adding companies, subscription management or managing contacts don't apply.
Articles in French also apply mostly to the integration between AutoEntry and Sage Comptabilité or Sage 50 in Canada. If the integration with Generation Experts is similar, there can be slight differences.
