Connect Basware AP Automation to retrieve approved supplier invoices and attachments in Watchdog. Watchdog does not change, approve, or pay invoices in Basware.

​
Before you begin

Ask your Basware consultant to prepare API access for Watchdog. You will need:
  • Client ID and Client Secret
  • your environment’s region: eu, us, au, or ca
  • optionally, a Company Code to limit access to a specific company

​
Connect in Watchdog

  1. Open Integrations → Basware and add a connection.
  2. Enter the details from Basware.
  3. Select Test Connection, then save the connection.
  4. Under Settings, choose which companies, suppliers, and processing statuses to include.

​
Choose which invoices to import

New connections use Transferred and Paid. Also select WaitingForTransfer to import invoices before the transfer is confirmed.

​
For the Basware administrator

Give the API client access to approved supplier invoices, invoice documents and attachments, and company and supplier lists. Include original XML invoices when available. The Paid status requires the accounting system to report payment through paymentResponses. Watchdog does not send these messages or transfer acknowledgements. See Basware’s API guide for invoice processing and statuses.

​
If invoices or attachments are missing

Check that the invoices have one of your selected statuses. If the test finds invoices but no documents, ask Basware to check access to invoice attachments.
