ERP Integration via Atlar API

An ERP integration with Atlar can be done entirely through our API, meaning you can integrate with any ERP, data warehouse, or custom finance system. This approach offers the same functionality as our packaged ERP integrations (such as Business Central, NetSuite, or SAP).

Building together:

Atlar will support you in all integration efforts with direct connections to the engineering team during and after the implementation to ensure smooth operations

Atlar’s API enables your ERP or accounting system to:

• Fetch bank account statements, or bank balances and transactions in real time.
• Initiate payments directly from your ERP.
• Push accounting transactions to faciliate forcasting.
• All of the above using secure, programmatic access.

Setup in Atlar

1. Create a Role for Integration
   Define a role in your ERP or integration middleware with the required permissions.
   For detailed guidance, see Create an integration role.

2. Create a Programmatic Access User
   Create a dedicated user with programmatic access and API credentials.
   Refer to Programmatic user setup for step-by-step instructions.

3. Store the User’s Credentials in Your ERP
   Save the access credentials securely within your ERP’s integration configuration.
   These credentials will be used for all API calls to Atlar.

API Invocation

Once credentials are in place, your ERP (or middleware) can perform the following operations through the Atlar API.

Fetching Statements

    ERP->>Atlar: GET /connections
    Atlar-->>ERP: Connection list
    ERP->>Atlar: GET /connections/{cid}/reports
    Atlar-->>ERP: Current available reports
    ERP->>Atlar: GET /.../reports/{id}/bank-statement
    Atlar-->>ERP: Return bank statement

Fetching Balances and Transactions

In order to support better reconciliation we enable you to fetch all balances and transactions from Atlar.

GET /accounts
GET /accounts/{account_id}/balances
GET /accounts/{account_id}/transactions

Use these endpoints to retrieve account details, balances, and transaction history. See the Accounts API reference for detailed request and response examples.

    Atlar-->>ERP: Account list
    ERP->>Atlar: GET /accounts/{id}/balances
    Atlar-->>ERP: Current balances
    ERP->>Atlar: GET /accounts/{id}/transactions
    Atlar-->>ERP: Transactions data

Initiating Payments

POST /credit-transfer-batches
GET /credit-transfer-batches/{batch_id}/results

Use these endpoints to create and retrieve payment batches. Your ERP can generate an Atlar-compliant payment file and submit it to Atlar for execution. See the Credit Transfers API reference for full parameter and schema details.

💡

Tip:

These are the same endpoints used internally by our packaged integrations — meaning your API integration has identical access and feature parity..

    Atlar->>Bank: Send payment file
    Bank-->>Atlar: Payment result
    Atlar-->>ERP: GET /credit-transfer-batches/{id}/results

Pushing Forecasting Data

POST /gl-entities
POST /gl-accounts
POST /accounts-payables
PATCH /account-payables
POST /accounts-receivables
PATCH /account-receivables

To generate forecasts from your ERP data, the Atlar platform requires your legal entities, general ledger accounts, and Accounts Receivable (AR) and Accounts Payable (AP) data. Legal entities correspond to the parent company and subsidiaries defined in your ERP system.

Once you have uploaded your entities and general ledger accounts to Atlar, you can proceed to send your AP and AR data. Whenever a new AP/AR entry is created or an existing one is updated, the corresponding forecasted transaction in Atlar is automatically updated. This ensures that your projected cash flow is always up to date.
