Overview

Remote Site Settings is a security feature in Salesforce, which provides the ability for external systems or web services to integrate with Salesforce. These settings work similar to a whitelist to establish secure links between Salesforce and outside websites or servers, which allows Salesforce to safely connect with approved URLs. The approved URLs must be registered on the Remote Site Settings page in Salesforce. This page is accessible by clicking the Gear icon, selecting Setup, and entering Remote Site Settings in the Quick Find textbox.

With the Summer ‘25 Preview 2 release enhancements, you may see the following warning message on your intermediate posting screens:

"An issue has been identified with Accounting Seed’s configuration in this org that requires attention. To ensure that all features are working as expected and that there is no interruption with your service, please have your admin follow the steps outlined in this article."

This warning is shown when the settings are out of sync. To resolve this, your Salesforce administrator with the AS Full Admin permission set must complete the following steps:

1. Ensure the LED Remote Site Setting is active:
   1. Click the Gear icon and select Setup.
   2. Use Quick Find to search for Remote Site Settings.
   3. In the All Remote Sites list, find the LED link and check if the Active checkbox is checked. If it is, proceed to step 2. If it is not active, click the LED link.
   4. On the Remote Site Details (Managed) screen, click the Edit button.
   5. On the Remote Site Edit (Managed) screen, select the Active checkbox.
   6. Click Save.
2. Sync settings in Accounting Setup Configurations.
   1. Click the Salesforce App Launcher.
   2. Use Quick Find to search for Enablements.
      1. Note: If you see a Component Error, you may be missing certain permissions.  Assign the “Accounting Seed ERP Administrator” permission set to the user who is attempting to sync settings, then retry this step.
   3. Click the Sync My Settings button.
      
      Note: Click here to view the above image in full screen.
      
      

3. Multi-currency Orgs may require an additional step. If certain related records are missing, for instance the CTA GL Account or Currency Gain/Loss GL Account, you may see a Complete Setup button. Click the button to complete the set up.
   
   

Once this step is complete, Accounting Seed settings are synced and you no longer see the warning messages on the intermediate posting screens.
