1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between JouwWeb and Exact Online.
Please note: The integration only processes orders. The integration does not process refunds.
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in Exact Online, 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.
Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for JouwWeb and in the FAQ for Exact Online.
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 can be done via the dashboard, tab Profile>>Cancel integration.
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.
2.How the integration works
Please note: The integration always creates the invoice, order or sales booking with status Draft. This is because deleting or adjusting is otherwise very difficult in Exact Online.
The integration retrieves the orders from the webshop every hour and prepares them to be processed to Exact Online.

At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the JouwWeb order:
- It is checked whether the total of the JouwWeb order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping costs amount.
- If the order is an ICP order, the VAT number is checked.
- It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in Exact Online for the VAT in each line.
- It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.
A payment is processed for every order that has been processed to Exact Online and that has been paid in Jouwweb. It is possible to always process the payment, regardless of the status in Jouwweb. This can be requested via webcare@webwinkelfacturen.nl.
Processing a Jouwweb order to Exact Online takes place in three steps:
- It is checked if the customer already exists in Exact Online. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
- When processing to Exact Online orders or invoices, a check is performed to see if the products from the Jouwweb order are already present in Exact Online. Missing products are created.
- The Exact Online invoice, order or sales booking is created and added.
A payment is processed to Exact Online by looking up the corresponding (draft) entry in Exact Online and adding the payment to this entry. If the corresponding entry cannot be found, the payment appears on the Errors tab on the dashboard. After processing the payment, the integration will attempt to reconcile the payment against a sales entry in Exact Online.
After the order has been processed and a success message has been received from Exact Online, the order is marked as handled. The JouwWeb order appears in the Reporting tab on the dashboard.
If Exact Online 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.
When forwarding the payment, the payment is also registered so that it cannot be processed again. Both payments and reconciliation actions can be reviewed via the dashboard.
Data
Information about the data that is processed can be found in the section Day-to-day: To Exact Online later in the manual.
3.Preparation Exact Online
To integrate with Exact Online, a dedicated username and password are required to log in. The integration must be established using this username and password. A separate username is required for each connection. Therefore, if you have two or more integrations with Exact Online running with us, you will need two or more Exact Online usernames. See this faq more information.
Using an accountancy username/password grants the integration access to all records under the accountant's responsibility. This is highly undesirable from a security standpoint and violates GDPR regulations. See this faq for more information.
4.Installation
After the installation, check using this FAQ, whether the integration works.
Installing the integration starts with signing up for a trial period, via our integrations page. After registering, you'll receive an email with an installation URL and login details. Use this installation URL to start the integration installation.

Webshop authentication
The authentication with the webshop runs via OAuth. Make sure you are logged out of your webshop before establishing the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for the JouwWeb webshop will automatically appear. If you log in, you will get a screen asking if you allow the connection. If you confirm this, the connection will be established.
If you want to re-establish the connection at a later time, you can always do so by clicking the Connect button.
Authentication with Exact Online is via OAuth. Ensure you are logged out of Exact Online before starting the connection. Now click the red Connect button. A login screen for your Exact Online account will appear automatically. Once you log in, you will see a screen asking if you allow the connection. Upon confirmation, the connection with Exact Online will be established.
If you wish to re-establish the connection at a later time - for example, because you want to connect via a different Exact Online user - you can always do so by clicking the Connect button.
Multiple webshops can be present within one Jouwweb account. You can set here for which webshop you want to create the integration.
Processing status
You can specify which statuses orders should be processed to Exact Online. You can select multiple statuses. The integration will never forward orders twice. The integration is protected against this.
Orders from Jouwweb can be processed to Exact Online orders, invoices or sales entries. The desired option can be selected via the contract settings.
Exact Online Division code
It is important that after establishing the connection with Exact Online, you first set the division code of your Exact Online administration. As long as the division code is unknown, data from your Exact Online administration—such as VAT codes, ledger accounts, journals, and payment conditions, which depend on this division code—cannot be retrieved. After setting the division code, it may be useful to retrieve the data from Exact Online again. You can do this via the two arrows next to the copy button.
Exact Online Journal
A journal must be set for the entries. A sales journal must be set here for creating sales entries. For Dutch administrations, this is usually journal 70 and for Belgian administrations 700. A cash journal must be set for the revenue entries. For Dutch administrations, this is usually journal 10.
Payment condition Exact Online
When creating new debtors, the integration will set a payment condition. The payment condition that the integration adds to new debtors can be selected via the dropdown. This payment condition is not added if it concerns an existing debtor.
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 Exact Online. You can always make changes by clicking the blue 'Edit' button and selecting an option from the drop-down menus.
By default, all EU countries are shown in the list. You only need to configure the countries you sell to, and - if applicable - ICP and International.
The integration shows the standard VAT rates for Europe. You can adjust the VAT percentage with which you sell - left column. For example: By default, sales to Germany are set to 21%, but if you sell in the webshop with 19%, you can adjust this in the left column. 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.
The Exact Online VAT codes are shown depending on the contract settings. If Exact Online excl is selected, only the Exact Online VAT codes excl will be shown. If Exact Online incl is selected, only the Exact Online VAT codes incl will be shown. Only the Profit and Loss ledger accounts on the credit side are shown.
Once the VAT settings have been configured and saved, you will always see the set VAT rates. If you want to start over, you can use the grey button 'Remove VAT settings'. Your current settings will then be deleted.
You can create a link here between the payment methods in the webshop and a fixed debtor in your Exact Online administration. Orders with a payment method from the list will then always be posted to this debtor. In that case, no new debtors will be created.
Note: It is not possible to set fixed debtors for ICP orders. For an ICP order, a valid VAT number must be transmitted. Therefore, a debtor will always be created in Exact Online for an ICP order.
Please note: The list of debtors only includes the Exact Online debtors whose name contains a specific substring. See this FAQ for more information.
5.Day-to-day: From Jouwweb
Once an order has been processed, it cannot be processed again. Any order changed in the webshop after it has been processed will not be updated in Exact Online.
Please note: The integration only processes orders, no returns / refunds.
Payments (if activated) When processing payments, the integration checks every day the Jouwweb orders that have been successfully processed to Exact Online. If the order has been processed and the payment status is met, a payment will be created in Exact Online for this order.

6.Day-to-day: To Exact Online
For processing payments, both the creation of the payment and the reconciliation of the payment are described.
Create transactions
When creating sales entries (SalesEntries) in Exact Online, the order number is processed and new debtors are created if they are not yet in Exact Online.
When creating invoices (SalesInvoices) or orders (SalesOrders), the products are also processed if they are not yet present in Exact Online.
Creating new debtors
When processing customer information, a check is first made to see if the customer has been processed before. If so, this Exact Online debtor is used as the debtor for the Exact Online transaction. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to Exact Online. Matching is based on email address.
Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.
Create products
The following only applies if you process orders to Exact Online invoices or orders.
New products in Exact Online If the orders are processed to Exact Online invoices or orders, the integration first checks whether the products from the order already exist in Exact Online. The integration then adds missing products to Exact Online. If a product already exists in Exact Online, it is not added again. The rules for matching products between Jouwweb and Exact Online can be found in this FAQ be read.
If orders are processed to Exact Online orders, new products are automatically linked to a default warehouse. During installation, you can specify the default warehouse. Only one warehouse per integration is possible. Separate dummy products are created for shipping costs, payment costs, and discounts.
Please note: The products are only created in Exact Online. Products in Exact Online are never modified.
Disable ledger mapping: When processing to Exact Online invoices, it is possible to create the invoice without a ledger account. For an explanation see this FAQ. If you wish to use this option, please contact us. For Exact Online orders, the integration never provides a ledger account; the product in Exact Online determines the ledger mapping. For Exact Online sales entries, the integration does not provide products. Therefore, ledger mapping cannot be disabled for this option either.
VAT products When creating new products in Exact Online, the integration uses the VAT percentage from the sales line.
Payments from Jouwweb are imported into Exact Online as memo entries. A memo entry consists of two lines - one line for the payment and one for the corresponding Exact Online sales entry. If no sales entry can be found for the payment, the memo entry cannot be created. Note that the integration initially offsets the payment against the accounts receivable. The sale for which the payment was made is therefore not yet reconciled.
Reconcile
After processing the payment, the integration will perform an additional action to reconcile the payment and sale.
