      Creating and Using CSV Import Profiles

      How to use CSV profiles to streamline billing reconciliation with Gradient MSP.

      In just a few steps, you can import CSV Vendor Usage Reports. 

      Upgrade to pro, then Drag and drop your CSV directly into the Synthesize billing module, map your data and begin reconciling! 

      CSV Profiles

      CSV is a Synthesize Billing Pro feature and includes unlimited CSV profiles. 

      CSV File sizes are limited to 5MB. Please contact support if you require a larger import. 

      Create a Vendor CSV Mapping Profile

      1. Configure an Import Profile
      2. Confirm Header Row & Columns
      3. Map Accounts
      4. Map Services
      5. Confirm Import
      6. Reconcile

      Once you reconcile a service card for the month, it will not reappear.  If you do a second import, only cards with new values will display. 

      Once you have set up your import with Synthesize, we will remember your previous settings allowing you to upload the latest CSV and reconcile the changes monthly. 

      Before uploading your CSV usage each month, it is recommended to perform a PSA Sync. This will ensure that your PSA usage is accurate.

      Each service card has the following actions:

       

       

      Action Description
      Add

      If services are found that are currently not mapped to a contract, Gradient will identify those as New Revenue Found. You can hover over the service card and click Add. This will open a module that enables you to assign the service to a contract and approve the count. 
      Approve

      Select Approve on cards with no change needed to confirm and remove from view. When the quantities in Gradient do not match the records from the CSV import, click Approve on the service card to approve the true down/up of quantities. 
      Multiselect and Approve

      Select multiple service cards and click Approve to reconcile multiple services simultaneously.
      Adjust 

      Click Adjust to update quantities manually or to choose a proration date.

      If the date field is greyed out, your PSA may not allow proration.
      Dismiss 

      Dismiss will remove the service card from view without making a change to the PSA. The card will reappear on the next billing cycle. 

      Dismiss can also be used for service cards that remain displayed unactioned from previous months. This will remove them from view permanently.
