Prerequisites
Active account with Compass Funding Solutions
Client username and password from the Compass Funding client portal
Admin, Partner Admin, or Support access to configure the integration
"Billing" permission to submit batches and upload reports
Connect / Authenticate
Navigate to Management > Integrations.
Select Factoring from the list of integration types to filter the list.
Click the pencil icon next to Compass Funding to open the integration configuration.
Select the desired subsidiary. The Add Integration dialog appears with fields for your username and password.
Enter your Compass Funding username and password. Click the blue Save button. Repeat the subsidiary selection and credential entry steps for each subsidiary if needed.
Field & Data Mapping
Alvys generates a batch file containing invoice data for the selected loads and submits it to Compass Funding via FTP. No manual data entry is required for the batch file.
Sync Behavior
Batch submission is initiated manually from Accounting > Factoring Upload. Purchase report data returns via manual upload from the Compass Funding client portal. There is no automated nightly sync.
Submit a Batch
Navigate to Accounting > Factoring Upload.
Select the correct subsidiary from the subsidiary selector.
Select the loads to include in the batch.
Click the blue Submit Batch button.
Wait until the submission is complete. The system will notify you when the batch submission has finished. Do not close this page or navigate away before the notification appears; doing so may disrupt the submission.
Upload Your Purchase Report
Download the purchase report for the submitted batch from the Compass Funding client portal.
In Alvys, navigate to Reports > Factoring under the Operational Reports section.
Find the respective batch and select it. Click the blue upload button in the lower-right corner of the page.
Drag and drop the report file into the upload area, or click to select it from your device.
Click Upload.
Repeat this process for each subsidiary if you submitted batches for multiple subsidiaries.
Verify It's Working
After submitting a batch, confirm the batch appears in the Compass Funding client portal. After uploading the purchase report, verify that load statuses have updated in Alvys as expected.
Troubleshooting
Batch submission does not complete
Confirm you did not navigate away from Accounting > Factoring Upload before the system completion notification appeared. If you did, return to the page and check whether the loads still show a pre-submission status.
Confirm the subsidiary has valid FTP credentials configured. Navigate to Management > Integrations, locate Compass Funding, and verify the username and password are saved.
Contact Alvys support if the batch continues to fail after confirming credentials.
Upload button is not visible on the Factoring report page
Confirm you have the "Billing" permission. Users without this permission cannot see the upload button.
Confirm the batch appears in Reports > Factoring. If it does not appear, confirm the batch was submitted from Accounting > Factoring Upload and that the system completion notification was received before navigating away.
Contact Alvys support if the batch was submitted and the notification was received, but the batch does not appear in Reports > Factoring.
Limits / Unsupported
Separate credentials must be configured for each subsidiary. One set of credentials cannot cover multiple subsidiaries.
Compass Funding does not support Payment Report uploads through this integration. Only Purchase Reports are uploaded in Alvys.
There is no automated or scheduled sync. All batch submissions and report uploads are initiated manually.
