Most of the Finmatics Autonomous Accounting actions can only be executed after the required Finmatics Master Data (Vendors and at least G/L Accounts or Items) have been activated and synchronized.
Basically, the Business Central System is the leading system (with a few exceptions). Therefore, if master data is changed via the Finmatics Web Frontend, this does not affect the data stored in Business Central.

Open in Web Frontend
Opens the record overview in the Finmatics Web Frontend.
Create Exception
Creates a Synchronization Exception for the selected records. Records for which a synchronization exception exists will no longer be synchronized with Finmatics.

Create in Business Central
Creates a new Vendor in Business Central based on this Finmatics Business Partner.
Note
Basically, the Business Central System is the leading system.
However, it may be that business partners are created by the Finmatics system or a Finmatics processing user. If there are new business partners in Finmatics, you will receive a notification and then you can use this action to create the business partner in Business Central.
Delete Data at Finmatics
Deletes the data stored at Finmatics for the selected records.
If, for example, you have created G/L Accounts at Finmatics that should no longer be available in Finmatics, you can remove these records with this action.
A Synchronization Exception is automatically created for all deleted records so that they are not accidentally created again at Finmatics during the next (automatic) synchronization.
