# Understanding your sync logs

## We provide detailed sync logs to help you configure and troubleshoot your sync.

### Viewing the most recent sync logs and tracking your sync process

Under our sync logs tab we will show the most recent 500 sync logs ordered chronologically.

### Viewing the sync logs for a Invoice or Purchase Order

To review the sync logs for a single Invoice or Purchase Order, first navigate to the Invoices or Purchase Orders tab, then under the status heading click the button associated with that item.

### Description of logs

#### General Information

| ![](https://kb.clouddepot.com/hubfs/image-png-May-28-2021-07-16-48-89-PM.png) | The timestamp from when the invoice was created in Autotask and the original invoice number. |

| ### ![](https://kb.clouddepot.com/hubfs/image-png-May-28-2021-07-21-14-02-PM.png) | The sync system is split into multiple workers, the first worker downloads the Autotask metadata then hands over to another worker which will process the invoice. When that process begins you will see the **Processing Invoice line**. |
