Acumatica Reader
The Acumatica Reader provides the ability to extract data from/query Acumatica.
The Acumatica reader is 100% meta data based meaning it queries your Acumatica instance / webservices to build the available objects, Generic Inquiries and fields which can be queried.
Key features provided by the Acumatica Reader:
- Custom Object and Custom Field support.
- Dynamic querying of metadata, allowing you to query any Acumatica object record.
- Query Generic Inquiries
- Ability to filter records using a simple query expression.

The Acumatica Connector can query data from:
