1.Introduction
This is the manual for the integration between KMO Shops and AFAS SB.
This integration ensures that orders from the KMO Shops webshop are processed daily to financial entries in AFAS SB.Because the orders enter the merchant's accounting system directly, it saves time on financial administration. Please note: The integration only processes orders. The integration does not process refunds.
Please pay special attention to the following
- This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in AFAS SB, 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.
- It is only possible to process to AFAS SB financial entries.
Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for KMO Shops and in the FAQ for AFAS SB.

2.How the integration works
A order from the KMO Shops webshop is processed to a AFAS SB financial entry.
KMO Shops works with webhooks. We receive a notification as soon as a new order is created in your webshop or if an order changes. If the order can be processed - this depends on the status - the integration places the order in the processing queue. Depending on how busy the processing queue is, the order will be processed quickly or slightly later. In general, the queues move quickly.

4.Installation
After 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.
Activating the integration consists of three steps:
1. Establishing the connection with the KMO Shops webshop. Through this step, you authorize the integration to read the data from your webshop.
2. Establishing the connection with AFAS SB. This authorizes the integration to write transactions to your AFAS SB administration and read information.
3. Configuring additional data, such as the VAT settings.
Before the integration can be used, the terms and conditions must first be accepted. The terms and conditions are based on the general ICT Terms and Conditions (industry organization) and the general GDPR guidelines. We also need a name, email address, and the country of the webshop. 
Authentication AFAS SB
Establishing the connection with AFAS SB is done using the data you collected in the previous section:
- Accountant domain
- Customer domain
- API token
If you fill in and save this data, the dot next to AFAS SB on the screen should turn green. If that doesn't happen, use the refresh symbol next to the Copy button at the top right to retrieve all data again. You can also log out and then log in again.
Settings AFAS SB
To use AFAS SB, select an administration within your account. You also indicate in which journal the revenue should be posted and what the debtors account is. The journal for processing (individual) orders will be a Sales journal.

Configure VAT rates and general ledger accounts
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 AFAS SB. 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 that 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.
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.

Configure payment methods
You can create a link here between the payment methods in the webshop and a fixed debtor in your AFAS SB 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 AFAS SB for an ICP order.

5.Day-to-day: From KMO Shops

Once an order has been processed, it cannot be processed again. An order that is modified in the webshop after it has been processed will not be adjusted in AFAS SB.
Please note: The integration only processes orders. For now, the integration does not process refunds.
Debtors
The integration first checks if the debtor is already present in the accounting system. If not, the integration creates the debtor in AFAS SB. Matching of debtors between KMO Shops and AFAS SB takes place based on email address.
VAT numbers For business orders within the EU, outside the Netherlands, a VAT number is mandatory. The integration checks for this.
6.Day-to-day: To AFASSB
This data is processed to AFAS SB:
Creating financial entries
