Twinfield – Connection Guide
Twinfield (Sage) cloud accounting platform.
How to Connect to Twinfield
Twinfield (Wolters Kluwer) is connected through a standard OAuth authorization: you sign in to Twinfield, approve access, and then tell Apideck which administration to work in. There is nothing to install and no API key to generate.
There is no environment to choose in Vault — Apideck resolves the right Twinfield host for your organisation automatically.
Prerequisites
Before you start, you'll need:
- A Twinfield login (organisation user) with access to the administration you want to connect. The connection can only see what that user can see.
- Your office code — the code of the Twinfield administration to connect. See step 2 for where to find it.
- A user you can dedicate to the integration. The connection stays tied to whichever Twinfield user authorizes it, so a shared, non-personal user maintained for integrations keeps the connection alive when people change roles. See Choosing the right Twinfield user.
1. Authorize Twinfield
- Open the Twinfield connector in Apideck Vault and click Authorize.
- You're redirected to Twinfield's sign-in page at
https://login.twinfield.com. Sign in with the Twinfield user you want the connection to run as. - Review the access request and approve it.
- Twinfield redirects you back to Vault, and the connection shows as Connected.
You don't need to pick a server, region, or API URL. Apideck resolves the correct Twinfield cluster for your organisation automatically after you authorize.
2. Set your office code
Twinfield identifies administrations by code, not by name, and Apideck sends that code with every request — it decides which administration your data is read from and written to.
- In Twinfield, open the switch-administration menu. The administration code (administratiecode) is shown directly when you switch administrations. Take that code — not the environment code (omgevingscode) shown under Gebruikersinstellingen (the person icon in the top-right corner), which identifies your Twinfield environment rather than a single administration. Wolters Kluwer's article Wat is mijn omgevingscode, administratiecode of gebruikerscode explains the difference between the three codes.
- Back in Vault, open the connection's Settings and enter it in Office code (for example,
1000). - Save the connection.
The field is not marked required, but set it anyway: a connection operates against one office code, and filling it in is what guarantees reads and writes land in the administration you intended.
3. Check your control accounts
Twinfield requires a control (system) account on every bill and payment, and its API offers no way to look yours up. Apideck therefore uses Twinfield's standard chart of accounts by default:
| Setting | Default | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Accounts payable control account | 1600 | Amounts owed to suppliers — bills and bill payments |
| Accounts receivable control account | 1300 | Amounts owed by customers — customer payments |
If your administration uses Twinfield's standard chart of accounts, you can skip this step.
If it doesn't, check the codes and enter them in Vault:
- In Twinfield, go to Settings → Administration settings → Administration settings, then choose System accounts (Systeemrekeningen) in the left submenu.
- Read the values of Accounts receivable control account (Hoofdrekening debiteuren) and Accounts payable control account (Hoofdrekening crediteuren). Wolters Kluwer documents this screen in Crediteuren en debiteuren — Administratie-instellingen.
- If either differs from the default above, enter it in the matching field in the connection's Settings in Vault and save.
Choosing the right Twinfield user
The connection runs as the Twinfield organisation user who authorized it, so its lifetime follows that user's. Twinfield revokes access immediately — with no advance warning — if the user is deleted, disabled or locked, if their password expires, or if the organisation itself is deactivated. The first sign is that the connection stops working and asks to be authorized again.
Two things keep this from surprising you:
- Authorize with a dedicated integration user rather than an individual employee's login, so staff changes don't take the connection down.
- Make sure that user's password policy and access to the administration are maintained the same way you'd maintain any other service account.
Troubleshooting
Authorization fails, or you see a redirect error after signing in. The Twinfield OAuth application is registered by whoever operates the integration, and its redirect URL has to match the one Vault sends you back to. Report the exact error to your integration provider so they can check the registration.
You can sign in but the administration you expected isn't available. Access mirrors the Twinfield user's own rights. Ask your Twinfield administrator to grant that user access to the administration, then reconnect.
Data appears under the wrong administration, or writes don't show up where you expect. The office code in the connection settings points at a different administration — or the environment code was entered instead of the administration code. Re-check it against step 2.
A bill or payment is rejected with an unknown or invalid ledger account. Your administration likely uses a customized chart of accounts. Set the accounts payable and accounts receivable control accounts as described in step 3.
The connection suddenly asks to be authorized again. The Twinfield user behind it was disabled, locked, deleted, or its password expired. Restore that user in Twinfield, or authorize again with an active user — ideally the dedicated integration user described above.
