1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between Bol.com and King/MUIS.
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in King/MUIS, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
- This integration does not replace the work of an accountant. It saves time because you no longer have to retype documents. The accountant is still needed for advice, expertise, and control.
- The integration uses the default VAT percentage as configured in the Configuration tab of the dashboard. The integration is therefore not suitable for selling both 21% and 9% on Bol.com.
Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for Bol.com and in the FAQ for King/MUIS.
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registration, you will receive an email containing an installation URL and login details. With this installation URL, you start the installation of the integration.
The installation is complete when both connection dots are green, and the settings in the Configuration tab have been entered and saved.
There is a trial period of 30 days.
If you want to install another integration, you can do so in the same way. Make sure you are logged out of the integration dashboard and preferably start the new installation in an incognito browser.
At the end of the trial or subscription period, the integration will not be automatically renewed. You will receive an offer for a one-year subscription or renewal by email at the end of this period. You can confirm the renewal by using the payment link in that email. Do you want to terminate the integration in the meantime? This is possible via the dashboard https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl, Configuration tab > Cancel integration. The integration will then be cancelled immediately. Please note: After cancellation, the dashboard is no longer accessible.
Are you switching to another web shop/accounting system and do you want to re-establish a connection? In this faq we explain how to do this.
We advise you to revoke the consumer ID and secret within your Bol.com environment upon uninstallation of the integration.
2.How the integration works
New orders from your webshop are retrieved at least once per hour. Orders are retrieved from the shipping list at Bol.com, not from the Open orders list. An order is only processed once all products in that order have been shipped. Outstanding orders are updated during the night.
Returns are not processed automatically. If you want to process returns, send us an email .

At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the Bol.com order:
- It is checked whether the total of the Bol.com order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping cost amount.
- It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.
Processing a Bol.com order to King/MUIS happens in three steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in King/MUIS. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- When processing to King/MUIS orders, it is checked whether the products from the Bol.com order are already present in King/MUIS. Missing products are created.
- The King/MUIS journal entry or order is created and processed.
After the order has been forwarded and a success message from King/MUIS has been received, the order is marked as handled. The Bol.com order appears at the Reporting tab on the dashboard.
If King/MUIS returns an error while processing the order, the order appears in the Errors tab on the dashboard. Via the yellow button More info more information about the problem can be found. Via the red button Report problem can the order with all necessary information easily be submitted to us after you have tried to resolve the problem yourself. If the problem is solved, in some cases the orders can be processed again with the blue Process button.
Data
Information about the data that is processed can be found in the section Day-to-day: To King/MUIS later in the manual.
3.Required: Bol.com keys
You create the integration with your Bol.com platform using two keys: a client ID and a secret. You can create these keys within your Bol.com account.
Bol.com itself has a description with pictures on how to create the keys: https://api.bol.com/retailer/public/Retailer-API/credentials_for_retailer_api.html
4.Required: MUIS environmental code
To integrate with MUIS, you need to request an environment code. MUIS has a manual explaining how to do this. A shortened version follows.
Option 1: The entrepreneur / accountant works with iMUIS Online (SAAS / Web-based)
For the integration, the customer requires a subscription to the iMUIS Online Cloudswitch module for each administration. The accountant can select this for the entrepreneur via User Management. Alternatively, if the entrepreneur does not work through an accountant, the customer can take out a subscription themselves. Subsequently, the entrepreneur generates an environment code via iMUIS Online > Management > My data / Subscription / Connections tab Connections. An environment code is generated when you click on Connect with us as a partner (webwinkelfacturen). Copy this environment code. You will need it to establish the integration between the webshop and MUIS.
Option 2: The entrepreneur / accountant works with iMUIS Business Software (Windows)
In this situation, the entrepreneur must possess an iMUIS Online license, and iMUIS Online must be available on their own server. The entrepreneur generates an environment code via iMUIS Online > Management > My details / Subscription / Connections, Connections tab. An environment code is generated when you click on Connect with us as a partner (webshop invoices). Copy this environment code. You will need it to establish the connection between the webshop and MUIS.
If you use the MUIS orders option, you need to configure the following additional items in MUIS:
- Add item group 29 and enter the revenue account for this item group. New products are automatically added to this item group.
- Add webshop order type, because the orders forwarded to MUIS use this order type.
- Add the Shipping Costs shipping method to the MUIS shipping methods. Ensure that you set a default delivery condition and a preferred order method for the shipping method, and that you link the shipping method to the webshop order type.
5.Installation
Read more Installation .... Read less Installation ....
Authentication with your Bol.com account is done via the Client id and Client secret that you determined in a previous section. Click the red Connect button next to Bol.com and enter the Client id and Client secret in the popup window.
Authentication King/MUIS
You click the red Connect button for MUIS Software. You establish the connection with MUIS by entering the environment code. You determined this environment code in the previous section.
To process to King/MUIS financial entries, you can configure a debtors account and journal. To process to King/MUIS orders, a journal is not required.
When configuring the VAT rates and general ledger accounts, a link is created between the VAT rates in webshop and the VAT codes and revenue accounts in King/MUIS. You can always make changes by clicking the blue 'Edit' button and selecting an option from the drop-down menus.
Bol.com does not provide VAT percentages on your orders. Therefore, you can enter a default VAT percentage for NL, BE, and Other for the integration.
Intra-Community (ICP) and international deliveries
The Intra-Community supplies / ICP option is intended for business-to-business deliveries within the EU. These sales are invoiced with 0% VAT. A VAT number from the customer is required. The International option applies to deliveries outside the EU. For these sales, the integration expects 0% VAT; otherwise, the sales cannot be processed. Separate VAT codes and general ledger accounts can be configured for both ICP and international deliveries.
Once the VAT settings have been configured and saved, you will always see the selected VAT rates. If you want to start over, you can use the grey 'Remove VAT settings' button. Your current settings will then be deleted and you can begin again.
6.Day-to-day: From Bol.com
This section explains how the integration retrieves orders from the Bol.com account.
Once an order has been processed, it cannot be processed again. An order that is modified in Bol after it has been processed will not be adjusted in King/MUIS.
The Netherlands and Belgium For some businesses it is important to split Bol.com orders between the Netherlands and Belgium due to VAT returns and threshold amounts. It is possible to post the orders to country-specific general ledger accounts. More information in the FAQ.
If you want the integration to process returns in addition to orders, please contact us. We will then enable the returns option. To process returns, the integration retrieves the order for which the return was created. This order is used to determine the return.
Please note: The integration only processes a return if the integration has previously processed the order to which the return relates. For more information see the FAQ.

7.Day-to-day: To MUIS
Creating invoices / sales transactions
The orders from Bol.com are imported into King/MUIS as financial entries or orders. For each order, the VAT and general ledger account are provided as configured during the installation of the integration.
When creating entries / orders, new debtors and/or products may be added to King/MUIS.
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this King/MUIS debtor is used as the debtor for the King/MUIS transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to King/MUIS. Matching is based on email address. Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.
Product VAT: When creating new products - orders option - in King/MUIS, the integration uses the VAT percentage in the order line. This means that products in ICP and International orders will be created with 0% VAT in King/MUIS. After all, the integration has no other VAT percentage available for the product.
Item group: Products are placed in item group 29. This item group must be present in the MUIS administration.
Dummy products The integration does not work with dummy products because shipping costs and other costs are included as an amount in the header of the order.
Please note: Products are only created in King/MUIS. Products in King/MUIS are never modified.
The integration creates an order or financial entry in King/MUIS, not an invoice. Therefore, the integration cannot ensure that an invoice is automatically sent from King/MUIS.
