# Exporting expenses and payments to Exact Online

The Payhawk integration with Exact Online is designed to work effortlessly and help you keep your data between the two systems in sync at all times.

## Notes on exporting to Exact Online

- It's recommended that you sync your Payhawk-Exact Online accounts every time you make changes in Exact Online.
- An expense will be automatically exported to Exact Online once that expense is marked as reviewed. As a result, all your expense data, images, and bank statements will be imported.
- The payment data for an expense will be exported only after the transaction has been settled.
- After the export to Exact Online, Payhawk will pull the value for the expense **External ID** from the **Purchase journal reference** of that expense. If there is also a payment export for the payment **External ID**, Payhawk will display the value from the **Bank journal reference** of that payment.
