Part 2 of the installation consists of the setup in BxAdmin, where we enter the integrations towards the ERP system and pair BxMobile
BxEngine must be installed before you can log into BxAdmin. This is covered in BxLogistics installation part 1 - BxEngine.
There are two ways to log into BxAdmin - with a company code, user name and password at bxadmin.bxsoftware.no, or automatic login via the partner portal -> licenses.
Here we address how to log in via the partner portal. This requires that you actually have a login account for the partner portal. If you do not have a login account for the partner portal, please contact us at support@bxsoftware.no and we will create a user account for you. This access is for retailers of BxSoftware only.
If you are a direct client of BxSoftware, please contact us at support@bxsoftware.no to be assigned login details.
ERP Integration
In this guide we are looking deeper into the integration towards the Visma.net ERP. This means that most of this setup is directed towards Visma.net, but the approach is mostly similar to other ERP systems as well. Take a look at the links underneath to learn how the other ERP systems are set up.

Logging into BxAdmin via the partner portal
Log into https://partner.bxsoftware.no/licenses - Enter the name of the customer/license that you installed on the server during part 1 into the search bar. You should then get an overview over licenses. Click the large blue button labeled BxAdmin and you will automatically be redirected to the correct BxAdmin so that you can continue the login process with the partner portal user.
BxAdmin wizard
The first time you log onto BxAdmin, you will encounter a Wizard (no, not the magic dude with a pointy hat and a wand, trololol). Choose the correct ERP from the drop down list - it is essential that you choose the right ERP - then click Next.
During the next step you can add information such as customer name, SQL server + authority if needed, the SQL username and password that you created during the Installation part 1, in addition to the ERP database.
In this case it's the VismaNet ERP system we want. Since a separate cloud based ERP system database "doesn't exist", you must use our BxEngine database for saving data and etc. Visma Business/Global, UniØkonomi etc. has their own database, and in those cases it's the ERP database that should be entered. Click Next.
In the next image, press complete.
Now you will see that it is downloading all the settings into BxAdmin. Wait until the download is complete. When it is complete, you will see all of your settings in BxAdmin. Before you continue, it's important that you refresh the BxAdmin page (F5). And the basic setup is now complete and ready.
If it comes to a halt or freeze up and doesn't continue after a minute or more, just refresh BxAdmin, and it will be finished.
Integration towards ERP - Generate Visma.net token
Open Configuration -> Company Profiles, press Generate Visma.Net Token. You will now see a token generator. Here, you add e-mail and password for the integration user. If you have not created an integration user, here is a tutorial on how to do so.
Note! When you generate a token with a username and password, other integrations with the same user will lose their access. If this is the case, you can copy/paste the already existing ID and token manually under Area: system, as described further down.
Choose the correct company from the list you get access to after the Login.
You will then see a company ID and a token under Area: system. These fields can also be filled out manually if one has an ID and a token already available.
Aktivate Importers
This only applies for Visma.net and other sky-ERP's. For other on premises systems, you only need to run a query under SQL integration to see that you are retrieving the data from the ERP database.
Open Imports from ERP. Here, you will see a list of different modules that can enabled based on what the client needs. In this example we have enabled all the modules we retrieve data from. How often and how much time is spent on retrieving the data is filled out in the Periodic column. We just entered a 0 for most of the options as this will retrieve real-time data from Visma.net. But as the stockbalances is an importer that shouldn't be run constantly, we enter a higher number - 3600. This also requires that the BxEngine service restarts to be fully activated.
Next step is to install BxMobile and pair the unit. Se part 3 and 4.
