Connect Muhasib ERP to an Existing Database

How to Connect Muhasib ERP to an Existing Database in Muhasib ERP

Overview

This guide will help you configure this workstation to use an existing approved Muhasib database.

Muhasib stores the selected host, database, authentication mode, and needed credentials in the local workstation settings. On startup it may create missing default settings or apply supported initialization/migration work.

Who can do this

You need access to Access to Database Setup and valid SQL Server. Get the connection details from the database administrator.

Before you start

Confirm the SQL Server name, database name, authentication method, and whether the database revision is compatible with this Muhasib build. Keep a verified backup before connecting a newer build.

Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.

Where to find it

Follow the launch, wizard, login, company-selection, Back Office, or power path described in the procedure; the available starting screen depends on current installation state.

Check your work

Restart Muhasib and confirm that it reconnects to the same database and shows the expected company or sign-in context.

Take a moment to check your work before closing the window. This small check can save time later.

If something goes wrong

  • An empty database list usually indicates connectivity, authentication, or SQL permissions problems.
  • If the chosen database is not recognized as Muhasib, stop rather than allowing uncertain initialization.
  • Never expose the stored SQL password in a screenshot or support attachment.
