Automate Return Filing from UltraTax CS into SmartVault
SmartRouting reads metadata from UltraTax CS to automatically name, sort, and route documents. Firms save hours each week with less manual work.
SmartRouting integrates with UltraTax CS to detect return type, year, and client. When you print separate copies for the Preparer, Government, and Client versions, SmartRouting routes each one into the appropriate SmartVault folder. It automatically applies your firm’s naming conventions, permission settings, and folder templates. This eliminates manual sorting, reduces errors, and keeps your document organization consistent.
Key Benefits for UltraTax CS Users:
- Routes printed Preparer, Government, and Client Copies to the correct folders
- Files are auto-named and placed using your firm’s folder logic
- Reduces drag-and-drop work and minimizes filing errors
- Ideal for firms moving off FileCabinet CS
- Supports Custom Mappings to match your preferred naming and routing setup
Still Using FileCabinet CS? That’s About to Change.
