Summary

Use this guide to change the Business Central GL account where Paystand posts merchant fees, discounts, convenience fees, adjustments, disputes, or refunds.

For the example covered here, change GL account for Convenience Fees from 40998 to 64900. Leave all other connection settings unchanged. You must paste a valid Azure client secret Value into Client Value before the form can be saved.

As described in Find Your Existing Business Central Client Value, if your company did not previously store the secret Value, it is not possible to retrieve it again from Azure or Paystand. In that scenario, rotate the secret to complete the GL account change using Create or Update the Business Central Client Secret (Azure + Paystand Dashboard), then return here to finish the mapping update.

Before you begin

• Paystand role: Dashboard Admin who can open and save Integrations
• Business Central access: User who can confirm the target account in Chart of Accounts
• Client Value: Either the existing secret Value from your organization’s vault (see Find Your Existing Business Central Client Value), or a newly rotated secret Value from Create or Update the Business Central Client Secret (Azure + Paystand Dashboard) if the existing Value was never stored
• Accounting approval: Confirm the new G/L account is correct for convenience fees

Do not change Environment, Company Name, Tenant Name, bank account IDs, Client ID, or any other GL mapping unless that is part of your approved change.

Step 1 — Validate the target G/L account in Business Central

1. In Business Central, open Chart of Accounts.
2. Find the target account (for this example, 64900).
3. Confirm with your controller or accountant that it is the correct account for convenience fees.
4. Confirm the account is not blocked and supports the posting setup your organization requires.

Important: Do not enable Direct Posting on every G/L account. Fee accounts that receive Paystand journal-style postings may require Direct Posting = Yes, while bank posting-group control accounts often should remain No. Follow your accounting policy.

Step 2 — Open the Business Central connection in Paystand

1. Sign in to the Paystand Dashboard as an Admin.
2. Go to Integrations. If a submenu opens, select Integrations again.
3. Scroll to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
4. Confirm status is Connected.
5. Click Connect To Business Central to expand the form.

Step 3 — Change only the approved GL mapping

1. Locate GL account for Convenience Fees.
2. Replace 40998 with 64900.
3. Review the rest of the form and confirm every other value remains unchanged.

The same workflow can be used for another approved GL mapping change, but always change only the intended field.

Step 4 — Enter Client Value and save

1. Confirm Client ID remains unchanged.
2. Paste a valid client secret Value into Client Value. Do not paste Azure Secret ID.
3. Click Connect To Business Central.
4. Wait for the confirmation message Connected to Business Central.
5. Confirm the integration status remains Connected.

As described in Find Your Existing Business Central Client Value, if your company did not previously store the secret Value, it is not possible to retrieve it again from Azure or Paystand. In that scenario, rotate the secret using Create or Update the Business Central Client Secret (Azure + Paystand Dashboard), then return to this step and paste the new Client Value to complete the GL account change.

__________________________________________________

Step 5 — Verify the change

1. Reopen Connect To Business Central.
2. Confirm GL account for Convenience Fees now shows 64900.
3. Confirm all other connection fields are unchanged.
4. For end-to-end validation, process a sandbox convenience-fee payment or verify the next new convenience-fee posting in Business Central.

Scope: The new mapping applies to new postings. Existing entries already posted to 40998 are not moved automatically.

Troubleshooting

Save / Connect remains disabled
A required field is empty—usually Client Value. Paste a valid secret Value and confirm all required fields are populated.

You do not have the existing Client Value
As described in Find Your Existing Business Central Client Value, Azure and Paystand cannot redisplay an existing secret Value. If it was never stored, rotate the secret with Create or Update the Business Central Client Secret (Azure + Paystand Dashboard), then return here to save the GL change.

Authentication fails
Confirm that you pasted the client secret Value, not Azure Secret ID. If the Value is unavailable or expired, follow Create or Update the Business Central Client Secret (Azure + Paystand Dashboard).

The form saves, but convenience-fee posting fails
Confirm account 64900 exists, is not blocked, and is configured according to your Business Central posting policy. Contact Paystand Support if the new posting remains stuck after the configuration is corrected.
