Prerequisites
- A Vista Viewpoint instance with import access for AP and AR.
- A Tread admin user with the Settlements and Exports permissions.
- Customer and Vendor records already in Vista. Tread maps by external ID.
- A Vista import schema confirmed with your accounting team — formats vary by configuration.
How it works
- Approve in Tread — Settlements close once approvals land. See Settlements & Driver Pay.
- Generate export — Pick a date range from the Settlements page and export to Vista format.
- Map external IDs — Customers and Vendors carry a Vista external ID set during onboarding.
- Import to Vista — Your accounting team imports the CSV into Vista AR and AP.
- Track exported settlements — Tread marks each exported settlement so it can’t be re-included.
What flows where
Setup
1
Open Integrations settings
Go to Settings → Integrations → Vista Viewpoint.
2
Confirm your Vista import schema
Vista templates differ by company. Have your accounting team share the AR and AP templates they use.
3
Tag Customers and Vendors
Enter the matching Vista IDs in each Tread record’s External ID field.
4
Run a test export
Export one approved settlement and confirm it imports cleanly into Vista.
5
Set the cadence
Export weekly or by billing period. Tread does not auto-push.
Limitations
- Export only. Tread does not pull data back from Vista.
- CSV-based, not API-based. No live two-way sync.
- Vista’s import format depends on configuration. Custom field mappings may need a one-time setup with the Tread team.
- Customer and Vendor records must exist in Vista before import. Tread does not create them.
- Mid-import edits in Vista do not flow back to Tread.
Troubleshooting
Vista rejects the import file- Open the rejection log in Vista — it lists the offending row.
- Match the row to the Tread settlement and fix the missing field.
- Re-export.
- Confirm the Tread GL map matches Vista’s chart of accounts.
- Update the map in Settings → Integrations → Vista Viewpoint.
- Re-export the affected settlements.
- Pull the Vista customer/vendor list and reconcile against Tread external IDs.
- Update Tread to match and re-export.
