3. Configuration of the integration

For the integration to work properly, it must be configured correctly. In the paragraph below, we'll go through all the steps of the integration in sequence. Before starting the installation, we recommend that you first carefully read through these steps.


Configure these Simplicate steps:

  • Select organization profile
    Select the organization profile you want to filter on

  • Export existing invoices
    If you want to export existing invoices, choose the start date here.

  • Group orderlines
    Should orderlines be grouped by VAT code and ledger account. Beware: If you choose YES, the description on the orderline won't be used.

  • Use booking date
    Should the booking date entered when exporting from Simplicate be used as the invoice date in the bookkeeping system?

  • Register payments
    Do you want to register payments for paid orders?

  • Sync contacts enabled
    Should all contacts be synchronised?

    Caution: These are all your contact from your Simplicate account. We advise you to select No.


Configure these Moneybird steps:

  • Select a category for invoices
    Select the category to use for invoices.

    Note, if you use multiple ledger accounts in Simplicate, you need to create the corresponding ledger accounts in Moneybird with the same number.
    If we can't match a ledger, we'll fall back to the ledger below.

  • Insert orders as
    Specify how the orders should be inserted into Moneybird.

  • Select an invoice profile
    This profile is used creating the sales invoice

  • Desired invoice status, and preference for sending the invoice
    Indicate what status the sales invoice should have in Moneybird. You can also choose to have Moneybird send the invoice. In that case, the standard shipping method for the Moneybird contact will be applied.

    Note! We only do the actual sending for invoices that are not part of the initial export of invoices.

  • Select workflow
    This workflow will be added to the sales invoices

  • Invoice numbers
    Do you want to use the invoice numbers of Simplicate? If so, make sure you adjust the Invoice id template in Moneybird to '{id}' (via Settings -> Numbering & mail copy). Note that this means that you should not make any invoices in Moneybird yourself, since the invoice numbering needs to be sequential.

  • Moneybird VAT mapping
    Connect the VAT categories of Simplicate to your Moneybird account

  • Attach original invoices
    Do you want to attach the original Simplicate invoices (if available)?

  • Disable check on email address?

    This workflow is used for direct debits.
