Setup Wizard
The setup wizard walks you through initial configuration in four steps. It connects your Business Central environment to the CentaraIQ, configures your company identity for PEPPOL, and establishes secure API credential authentication.
You can always change these settings later in General Setup.
To launch the wizard, search for Centara Setup Wizard in Business Central.
Page 1: Company Information
Configure your company’s electronic document identity. These fields determine how your organization appears on outbound documents and how trading partners find you on the PEPPOL network.
| Field | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Company Name | Your legal company name as it appears on documents | Must match your official registration |
| VAT Registration No. | Your VAT number, used for PEPPOL participant lookup | This is your primary PEPPOL identifier |
| Default VAT Scheme | The VAT scheme for outbound documents | Determines how your VAT number is formatted in PEPPOL messages (see table below) |
| Country/Region Code | Your company’s country code (ISO 3166-1) | Used for tax rules and format defaults |
| Address | Your company’s legal address | Included on all outbound documents |
| Contact Email | Primary contact email | Used for operational notifications from CentaraIQ |
Page 2: CentaraIQ Account
Connect to the CentaraIQ. Centara provides these credentials during onboarding.
| Field | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Account ID | Your Centara account identifier | Provided during onboarding — unique per customer |
| Environment | Select Production or Sandbox | Use Sandbox for testing; switch to Production when ready to go live |
| API Base URL | The CentaraIQ API endpoint | Pre-filled based on environment selection; typically https://api.wisecourier.com/v2 for production |
| Sender Identifier | Your default sender ID for outbound documents | Usually your VAT number with scheme prefix (e.g., 0196:1234567890) |
| Receiver Identifier | Default receiver ID for testing | Used during initial testing; override per customer in production |
The wizard validates your Account ID against the CentaraIQ service. If validation fails, verify your credentials with Centara support.
Page 3: API Credentials
Enter your Client ID and Client Secret to authenticate with the CentaraIQ API. These credentials are provided by Centara during onboarding and can be found in the Centara portal.
| Field | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Client ID | Your eBC Client ID | Provided by Centara during onboarding |
| Client Secret | Your eBC Client Secret | Enter once — stored securely in BC’s isolated storage (masked after entry) |
Credential security
- Your Client Secret is stored in Business Central’s isolated storage — an encrypted, tenant-specific vault.
- The Client Secret is never displayed after initial entry.
- All communication with CentaraIQ uses TLS 1.3 with AES-256 encryption.
Credential rotation
When you need to rotate your credentials (e.g. as part of a security policy):
- Generate new credentials in the Centara portal.
- Open Centara Setup and navigate to the API Credentials section.
- Enter the new Client ID and Client Secret.
- The old credentials are replaced immediately.
The eBC Cred. Last Rotated field on the setup page shows when credentials were last updated.
Page 4: Completion
Review your settings and finalize the wizard.
- Verify that all settings are correct on the summary page.
- Select Finish to save the configuration.
- The wizard performs the following validation checks:
- Connection to CentaraIQ API
- Client ID / Client Secret authentication
- PEPPOL participant lookup for your VAT number
- Job queue entry creation (Send, Receive, Process)
- If all checks pass, you see a confirmation message.
If any validation fails, the wizard shows the specific error. You can go back to the relevant page to correct the issue.
