🚨 Why This Change Is Required

Priority is upgrading authentication for enhanced security.

If your system still uses a regular Priority username + password for API access, you must migrate to PAT to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.


✅ Migration Steps

1. Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT)

Navigation:
System Management → System Maintenance → Users → REST Interface Access Tokens

Steps:

  • Click New

  • Enter Token Description (e.g., Nextplus Connector)

  • Select the API User used by the connector

  • Check Create Token and click OK

⚠️ Copy the token immediately — it will be hidden after saving.


2. Assign the Token to the Connector License

Navigation:
System Management → System Maintenance → Software Licenses → Applications for License

Steps:

  • Locate connector application ID (typically APP043)

  • Add the same integration user to the license


3. Update Credentials in Nextplus Connector

In your Next Plus Priority ERP setting page:

Field

Value

Auth Method

Token (PAT)

API Username

PAT (the literal text)

API Password

Token Name (generated)

Example:

API Username: PAT
API Password: 223942EB774846A6B7DCDE9E073251D2

🧪 Validate Connection

After updating credentials:

  • Run a test sync from Next Plus

  • Verify key operations (work orders, parts, etc.)

If any failures occur:

  • Verify token was copied correctly

  • Verify user is assigned to APP043 license

  • Ensure user has all required API permission
