Abacus
Abacus integration
ERPAvailable
BRAIAN connects to Abacus through AbaConnect / REST API. Agents can creditor invoice read, booking proposal and cost centre lookup. Every action is scoped by the permissions granted to the integration and executed under a versioned policy. Each one is recorded in the audit log with the agent, timestamp and record touched.
What can BRAIAN do?
FinAgent reads creditor invoices and prepares booking proposals against the correct cost centre; HRAgent reads the payroll and personnel documents it needs for policy checks. The connection is read-only by default and write access is enabled per mandate.
| Capability | Agent | Read or write |
|---|---|---|
| Creditor invoice read | FinAgent | Read |
| Booking proposal | FinAgent | Write |
| Cost centre lookup | FinAgent | Read |
| Document archive access | HRAgent | Read |

Which processes use it?
Processes that run on this connection, and the domains they belong to.
Invoice reconciliation
Expense audit
Policy compliance
Widely deployed across Swiss SMEs and mid-market companies.
How do you revoke access?
Access is revoked in Abacus itself — by disabling the credential or removing the granted scopes — or in BRAIAN by disconnecting the integration. Processes already running stop at their next call to Abacus and are held for review rather than completed with partial data; the interruption and the state of each process are recorded in the audit log.
FAQ
Does BRAIAN store data from Abacus?
BRAIAN reads what a process needs, when it needs it. Records retrieved from Abacus are held only for the duration of the process and in the audit trail of the actions taken; Abacus remains the system of record.
What happens if the connection fails mid-process?
The process stops at the failed step and is held for review. Nothing is written twice: completed writes stay recorded in the audit log and the remaining steps resume only once the connection is restored.
Can permissions be scoped per agent?
Yes. Scopes are defined per agent, not per system, so one agent can read while another cannot, on the same connection to Abacus.
