External application (Procurement API)
Visma | ProActive offers suppliers (external parties) the option to submit purchase orders to the Spend Cloud via an API. By presenting information in a certain way, purchase orders can be created in the Spend Cloud. You can use this if you already use an external purchasing package. You can then make sure that the purchase orders end up in the Spend Cloud via the API, so that they can be matched with invoices.
If you want to make use of this you can contact our Support department. When activated, the menu item 'external application' appears. In this menu item, the token for the supplier can be retrieved ans used to submit the order via the API.
The token is no longer visible after the name has been entered with associated actions. Make sure that the token is copied and stored safely elsewhere.
The technical documentation to provide the date can be found here.
