Acubiz allows access to receipts and attachments directly from the company's accounting system. In practice, this happens when the user selects a financial posting in the ERP system and clicks a button, after which the attachment automatically opens in a web browser via Acubiz.
Overview in this article:
- 1. Prerequisites in Acubiz
- 2. Prerequisites in the accounting system (ERP)
- 3. Construction of the URL for document lookup
- 4. Permissions and access control
1. Prerequisites in Acubiz
The function is part of the standard functionality in Acubiz and requires no specific configuration. However, the setup of the data flow must meet the following three requirements:
Export of TravelID: The field
TravelIDmust be included in the Acubiz export file (Column 22 in standard export format >).Storage in ERP:
TravelIDmust be saved in the accounting system at the time of import.Return lookup:
TravelIDis used as the unique key for return lookup of receipts and invoices in Acubiz.
2. Prerequisites in the accounting system (ERP)
To use the solution, an integration or function must be established in the accounting system (e.g., a button related to financial postings) that can generate and open the lookup URL.
Note: This button/function is rarely a standard feature in the ERP system. Development must therefore be clarified and arranged with the company's own ERP provider. Any costs associated with this are borne by the company itself and are not the concern of Acubiz.
3. Construction of the URL for document lookup
To open the correct attachment, a unique URL must be generated per transaction. The URL consists of three elements: two static values and one dynamic value (TravelID).
Standard structure:
Plaintext
[Base URL] + [Query]
-
Base URL to the company’s Acubiz solution (static):
Plaintexthttps://[COMPANYID].acubiz.com/asp/[COMPANYID]/[COMPANYID]EMS_[ISO-COUNTRY].nsfTip: The base URL can be found by logging into Acubiz EMS on the web and copying the address from the browser’s address bar for the individual company.
-
Query for receipt (dynamic):
Plaintext/ShowDocument?OpenAgent&ID=[TravelID]
Example of a composed, unique URL:
Plaintext
https://kbrdemo.acubiz.com/asp/KBRDEMO/KBRDEMOEMS_DK.nsf/ShowDocument?OpenAgent&ID=1000322
4. Permissions and access control
All lookups via URL are subject to Acubiz’s existing permission model. Therefore, when a document is opened, an active login in Acubiz is required. The user will only be able to see the postings they have access to according to their roles:
| User Role | Access to Documents |
|---|---|
| Employee | Can see own receipts. |
| Secretary | Can see own receipts as well as receipts for the employees they are secretary for. |
| Manager / Approver | Can see own receipts as well as receipts for their own employees/approval flow. |
| Finance User | Has full access to view all receipts in the system. |
