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.

    You can choose to transfer order numbers or invoice numbers to e-Boekhouden.nl.


Configure these e-Boekhouden.nl steps:

  • Order insertion type
    Select how orders should be inserted into e-Boekhouden.nl. If you choose 'Sales invoice' make sure you have created a 'factuursjabloon' in e-Boekhouden.nl. In this article (Dutch) you can read how to do that.

  • Debtor ledger account
    Select the debtor ledger account

  • Counter account
    Select the counter account where the revenue should be booked. Note: A counter account must be a Profit and Loss account.

    If you use multiple general ledger accounts for revenue bookings, make sure these accounts are available in both systems. The integration will automatically ensure that the revenue is booked to the correct general ledger account. For more details on this process, refer to this article.
