To ingest data from SAP Concur to Data 360, set up an external credential for SAP Concur.

**note:** Steps and links that are outside of Salesforce content aren't regularly updated and may not be accurate.

## Before You Begin

- [Create and register a custom OAuth application](https://cdn.cdata.com/help/FNK/jdbc/pg_oauthcustomappcreate.htm) in the SAP Concur admin console.

  - Your Authorization Endpoint URL resembles:

    - `https://{region}.api.concursolutions.com/oauth2/v0/authorize`

  - Your Token Endpoint URL resembles:

    - `https://{region}.api.concursolutions.com/oauth2/v0/token`

  - Note the required scopes and grants.

- Create an [OAuth-based authentication](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_setup_oauth_openid.htm&type=5).

- Verify the connection by pasting the value of Test-Only Initialization URL into your browser.

## Set Up an External Credential

1.  From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter `Named Credentials`. Then select **Named Credentials** (1).

    -  For Authentication Protocol, select **OAuth 2.0**.

    -  For Authentication Flow Type, select **Browser Flow**.

    -  For Authentication Provider, select the provider you created.

    -  Click **Save**.

3.  Add principal to external credentials.

    -  In the external credentials that you created, under Principals, click **New**.

    -  Enter the parameter name. You can include spaces.

    -  For Identity Type, select **Named Principal**.

    -  Set the Sequence Number to `1`.

    -  Click **Save**.

4.  Authenticate your external credentials.

    -  Under Principals, from the Actions dropdown menu, select **Authenticate**.

    -  Follow the authentication flow and confirm access permissions.

    -  To connect Data Cloud to SAP Concur, click **Allow**.

        After you authenticate, the status changes to Configured.

5.  Define the named credential.

    -  In the Named Credentials Tab, click **New**. Then enter a label and name. The name can't contain spaces, but you can use underscores.

    -  For the URL, enter `https://us2.concursolutions.com/`. The `us2` represents the region where your Concur instance is hosted.

    -  For external credentials, select the credential that you created.

    -  Click **Save**.

6.  Enable external credentials access.

    -  From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter `Profiles`. Then select it.
