Protection of Data

How to Protect your Data in Hinawi Software:-

  1. Data is the Customer's responsibility since the User(s) is the one who is engaged in its daily activities. To avoid loss of Data, please do the following:-
  2. Backing up your Data to the cloud is one of the best ways to guard against Data loss.
  3. Cloud Data backup should be done frequently and regularly; this is especially important for mission-critical Data whose loss or corruption can severely hinder normal business processes and operations. Backing up your Data to the cloud allows for easy scalability; your Data storage size can be readily expanded to accommodate your Data storage needs.
  4. Password control is the primary line of defense in safeguarding the Data within your network. Sensitive information should be password protected so only users who know the password can access the Data.
    The password used to secure the Data should not be used for other applications or tools; it should be strong, with a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters, as well as unique.
    In addition, the password should be provided only to individuals who need access to the Data to carry out their job duties. Furthermore, the password should be changed regularly.
  5. Daily backup on external and Internal Hard Disks or the cloud.
  6. Install auto backup software on the server to make daily data backups.
  7. Virus protection software must be installed on Servers and computers.
  8. UPS machine for emergency purposes in case of electricity power shutdown. This will keep servers and client PCs working for some time.
  9. Other safety measures recommended by Customer IT staff or consultants and hardware supplier
  10. Daily, monthly, and yearly Data printing and reports to be kept safe.

Important Notes and instructions for Integrating Between Hinawi ERP with QuickBooks

1. Before you start, change the type of account in the Hinawi ERP chart regarding Cash Type, PDC, and CUC Account type.

2. All users of Hinawi ERP must have used an m e in QuickBooks and permissions too.

3. If you have already created a QuickBooks data file and now you want to use Hinawi ERP Software, the following points must be checked in the QuickBooks file before start using our software: -

  •   Make sure that preference is done properly and completed.
  •   Make sure you did allocations between payments to suppliers and bills, the report.
  •   Unpaid bills Detail under Vendors and Payables Report should not show any negative amount.
  •  Same for the report  Open Invoices under Customers and Receivables should not have negative amounts.

4. The users in QuickBooks must have  Full Permission to access the activity forms they used in Hinawi ER. For Example:

- Creating new Transaction in Hinawi ERP: -

The user mu s t  h a v e  p er mis sio n  in  QuickBooks to  Create a Transaction for that Transaction (Form Activity).

- For Editing Transaction in Hinawi ERP: -

The user must have permission in QuickBooks to Create, Modify & Delete the Transaction. This is an important point; if no permission is specified above, the transaction will duplicate in QuickBooks.

-   If t h e  user makes an "Edit" write a check and his Setup is "Automatic," the system will delete the original transaction and create the same automatically. To avoid deleting, set a closing date in QB every month.

5. Do not Merge or delete Accounts in the Chart of Account list, vendors, customers, or employees in QuickBooks.

6. Do not convert the names in the `Other Names` list in QuickBooks to the Vendors or Customers or Employees List.

7. To switch between multiple Accounting files in QuickBooks. First, you must close Hinawi ERP and then open the QuickBooks file.

8. By editing transactions in Hinawi ERP, QuickBooks will delete the original one and create a new one. If this transaction is before the set closing dates, QuickBooks will not allow editing in Hinawi ERP. To avoid deleting, set a closing date in QuickBooks every month.

9. Make sure to close all kinds of windows in QuickBooks that affect running integration, e.g., Windows of, Videos, preferences, set closing date, setup users, Company information, Add  \ Edit  Multiple  Entries,  Verify,  Rebuild or clean data and any online QuickBooks services window that opened from  QuickBooks or  Set  Credit`  window in  Accounts Receivables and Payables. And QuickBooks does not open company information under the company menu during integration or posting.

10. If the  User enters the  Transaction through  Hinawi  ERP  and later modifies the same Transaction from QuickBooks, it will not affect Hinawi ER So, the user must do ALL his work from Hinawi to guarantee a match of balances.

11. Hinawi ERP  does not read Multi-Currency from  QuickBooks. Still, when creating a transaction in    Hinawi  ERP,  it will automatically read the currency in QuickBooks, except for the Journal Voucher, where the user must select the currency of each transaction.

12. We recommend Admin user does 'closing of data' in QuickBooks at the end of each month. By this, no transactions can be entered or edited from Hinawi ERP.

13. Ensure the person in charge is the only one to use the Admin user. Do not give the password to another user

14. Do not give Admin passwords to normal users.

15. The date setup in all computers and servers is dd/mm/yyyy. Example: 31/12/2021

16. If you want to run software in Arabic, filling in ALL required fields in Arabic is very important. Missing Arabic fields are located under the File menu.
