Create connection to Business NXT

Business NXT / Business NXT Group Reporting

For you as a Business NXT customer, there are two ways to connect to Business NXT, depending on your needs in the OneStop Reporting portal.

• Business NXT: This method retrieves data directly from Business NXT, and the data is always up-to-date. Choose this connection method if you are not going to run reports with consolidation. NOTE: This is the recommended way to connect to Business NXT.
• Business NXT Group Reporting: This method uses the API and requires setting up data import jobs that transfer data at given intervals. Choose this connection method if you need to run group reports.

NOTE: You must be a System user in Business NXT to be able to create connections.

Method 1 - Business NXT

The first time you log in to OneStop Reporting, you will get a wizard that guides you through the process of setting up a connection to Business NXT.

1. In the Welcome to OneStop Reporting wizard, click Start.

   NOTE: If you have already set up OneStop Reporting for another system (for example, Visma Business), you must go to the Data connection module to set up a new connection.

   

2. In the Create New Connection dialog, click Connect. If you are logged in to Visma Home, authentication takes place automatically.

3. Click Next.

   NOTE: If you want other users to be able to edit the connection, turn on the Allow other users to edit this connection switch. You should be careful about enabling this switch, as this allows any user in a role with the Manage Data Connections permission to edit the connection and see all companies in this connection.
