User Story

As a Organization Administrator
I want to configure my organization's accounting system connection by entering API credentials and mapping expense categories to the correct ledger accounts
So that So that approved reimbursements and honorariums are automatically posted to the correct accounts in Xledger or Dynamics without manual intervention

Acceptance Criteria

  • Given an organization administrator on the integration settings screen, when they select their accounting system type (Xledger or Dynamics), then only the relevant credential fields and mapping options are shown
  • Given valid Xledger OAuth2 credentials entered, when the administrator clicks 'Test Connection', then the system confirms connectivity to Xledger and displays the available ledger accounts for mapping
  • Given valid Azure AD credentials entered for Dynamics, when the administrator clicks 'Test Connection', then the system confirms OData API access and displays available cost centers
  • Given all required fields filled and mappings configured, when the administrator saves the configuration, then credentials are encrypted at rest in the integration config repository and the connector is enabled for the organization
  • Given invalid credentials entered, when 'Test Connection' is clicked, then a clear error message identifies the authentication failure and prevents saving
  • Given an existing configuration, when the administrator updates credentials, then the previous credentials are replaced and a new test is required before enabling the connector

Business Value

Correct credential and field mapping configuration is the foundational prerequisite for the entire accounting integration. Without this, automated sync cannot occur and finance teams at Blindeforbundet and HLF continue to manually re-enter approved financial records into their ERP systems, costing hours per week and introducing reconciliation errors.
