Ottimate (formerly Plate IQ) Integration
Last Updated 12/29/2022
Overview
Ottimate helps restaurant manage their invoices and provides real-time insight into their expenses. Just upload scanned invoices—we extract the data down to the line item, automatically code them to your GL accounts, and use that information to power your accounts payable and reporting.
For more information, visit www.plateiq.com.
Our EDI Integration with Ottimate processes EDI files uploaded by Ottimate from mulitple vendors as Invoices in Yellow Dog.
Ottimate supplies Yellow Dog with pipe delimited with headers .txt file formats.
These files use the following naming convention - PIQINV-xxxx-[YYYYMMDD]Txxxx
Sync Approach
Two elements are involved in this integration:
Ottimate’s process to send invoices to an FTP location
Yellow Dog’s sync application to download invoices from the FTP location into Yellow Dog
Configuration
The sync can be configured to populate EDI details received from Ottimate as either Invoices or Receipts in Yellow Dog.
Sync Frequency
The Yellow Dog Ottimate will be schedule to run daily but can be adjusted. It will only process invoices as they are supplied by Ottimate.
Requirements
Client
The client will need to request FTP setup to their Ottimate rep and provide credentials to their Yellow Dog Guide.
The client will still be responsible for committing the receipts or invoices in Yellow Dog after review.

This integration also supports the addition of expenses. Values provided in 4/D will populate as Sales Tax in additional expenses. When ‘PIQ%’ is supplied in line 7/G, Yellow Dog will create that item as an additional expense in invoicing using the descripition in line 8/H.
