CLOUDNEST / CYPNEST MCP INTEGRATION
Connect this company to its own CloudNest / CypNest MCP account. The token is encrypted and stored only against the currently logged-in company.

Saving or changing this token affects only this company. It does not change another ERP company's CloudNest connection.
CYPNEST OPEN PLATFORM (PLATES, REMNANTS, MATERIAL LIBRARY)
This company's CypNest / CloudNest open platform keys. The ERP only reads from CypNest (plates, remnants with their shapes, material library); it never changes anything there. The secret is encrypted and stored only for this company.
NZ COURIERS / GOSWEETSPOT
Company-specific courier connection. Rates, consignments, labels and tracking are kept separate from nesting and part pricing.
NZ Couriers / GoSweetSpot is not connected.
The API token is encrypted on the server and is never returned to the browser after saving.

XERO INTEGRATION
Completed Customer Orders can be sent to Xero as draft sales invoices.
Create a Xero OAuth 2.0 app, save its Client ID / Secret here, then click Connect Xero.
Invoices are created in Xero as DRAFT. Part lines use the saved Sales Account Code and Tax Type. Delivery cost is added as its own invoice line.
Xero numbering: Invoice Number = the ERP Customer Order Number. Xero Reference = the Customer Reference saved on the order.
Invoice due-date rule: the invoice date is the Customer Order completion date, and the Xero invoice due date is automatically the 20th of the following month. Example: completed 17 September → Xero due 20 October.
