Objective: Build LinkSOFT Integration to SAGE so Datec can implement LinkPOS at their existing Sage Customers.

Agreed on the following:

  1. Datec and Link would work together to get the SAGE API set up on Link development environment so Link can build the POS Integration
  2. Combined effort will be used and Datec will get exclusive access to sell and implement LinkPOS with SAGE since Datec is assisting with the integration Development
  3. Standard LinkSOFT Licencing will apply to the Sage Integration. The current licence price is estimated at $2500 per site We will review the cost of integration once we know the effort required to build and maintain the SAGE integration
  4. The Integration needs to work similarly to the current ORION POS integration to Sage
  5. The integration is built with Vodafone in mind, however, the integration should be able to handle Cash and Credit sales (unlike Orion which handles only cash sales)
  6. Kirit will assist from a user functional since Link does not have expertise in SAGE. Link and Datec will work closely to validate LinkPOS data flow between LinkSOFT and Sage and implement controls to ensure data integrity is endorced
  7. Link will use the Standard Sage WEB API to push and pull data from Sage
  8. Link will provide VM required to install Sage and Sage SDK
  9. Timeline for the first round of testing is 31st Jan 2020. Link will build this integration for LinkSOFT V11 only (Current version) and will  maintain support for Current Version - 1 for future releases
  10. Sanjay has confirmed that he is happy to discuss pricing that best suits the market provided we follow Reseller agreement controls established and agreed on 1st August 2019.

## Web API Samples

The Admin user does not have Sage 300 Web API privileges. In order to make various Sage 300 Web API
requests, you will need to configure a new user and give it the proper user authorizations. Documentation
for the samples will assume you use **SAMLTD** as the database and **WEBAPI/WEBAPI** as the credentials.

Configuring a new user can be accomplished as follows:

* In Sage 300, navigate to Administrative Services -> Users
* Enter **WEBAPI** as the User ID, **WEBAPI** as the User Name, **WEBAPI** as the Password and **WEBAPI** in Verify
* Click Save when finished
* Go to Administrative Services -> Security Groups
* Ensure that for each application that has Sage 300 Web API rights that there is a group ID associated with it
* Go to Administrative Services -> User Authorizations
* For the WEBAPI user, assign the group ID that has Sage 300 Web API rights to each corresponding application
