What happens in the initial synchronization

When the initial synchronization happens, you'll see changes in ConnectWise PSA and in Sophos Central.

When usage synchronization is turned on, it does as follows in ConnectWise:

  • Creates a Product Catalog in ConnectWise for each Sophos Central product.
  • Synchronizes ConnectWise Company and Agreement information with Sophos.
  • Creates an Agreement Addition and attaches each Product Catalog to that agreement.

The actions mentioned above only happen for the products you select to create in PSA. If no products are selected for mapping and sync, Sophos doesn't auto-create products in PSA.

Here is an example of the product catalog in ConnectWise after the initial synchronization.

ConnectWise Agreement Addition.

You should enter billing information in ConnectWise for your customers, so that they can be billed for their product usage. See ConnectWise documentation.

Note

Changing the Customer Description field in the catalog doesn't stop the usage sync.

If there are problems with the Customer Name mapping to the agreement see ConnectWise troubleshooting.

What you see in Sophos Central Partner

For customers that are synchronized, the page now displays synchronization status, their ConnectWise customer ID and agreement type.

We also show any synchronization errors. The error details also show solution advice.

If companies are ignored in the synchronization see ConnectWise troubleshooting.
