  • Main Contact Phone (Order of Preference: Cell, Office; from StaffSuite only)

The following is a list of Child company/Location fields that are synced between StaffSuite and TempBuddy:

Level indicates whether the company is a department, division, location, or parent. Level is set-up when you add the company and may not be changed.

The Alias field is one of the ways in which companies are sorted in Look Ups and reports. This name is often used internally by the staffing service as a nickname for a company and can be helpful for differentiating between multiple locations of a company, or for ensuring that all companies whose name begins with "The" are not sorted together. For example: Company Name = The Acme Group, Alias Name = Acme Group. Quick Company Lookup sorts by both the Company Name and the Alias.

If you send a child company from StaffSuite to TempBuddy before sending the parent company, the parent company is also sent to TempBuddy. If the parent company has already been sent, only the child company is sent. Also, since the TempBuddy Client record requires at least one contact, the Parent Company’s Main Contact is also sent with the parent company record (if it has not been sent already).

If a Company Rep record is sent to TempBuddy and the Company has not been sent, it is automatically sent to TempBuddy. 

IMPORTANT: While it is possible to send Companies from TempBuddy to StaffSuite, Bond highly recommends only sending Companies from StaffSuite to TempBuddy. This ensures that all proper tax information exists before processing invoices.

New Companies and updated Company information is sent immediately from StaffSuite to TempBuddy. New Companies and updated Company information entered via TempBuddy is sent to StaffSuite every 10 minutes. However, you can use PayBill > Payroll > Sync TempBuddy to manually synchronize StaffSuite and TempBuddy.
