1.Introduction

This is the manual for the integration between Mijnwebwinkel and AFAS.

This integration ensures that orders from the Mijnwebwinkel webshop are processed daily to orders or financial entries in AFAS. Because the orders enter the merchant's accounting system directly, it saves time on financial administration.

Please pay special attention to the following
  1. This integration is a financial integration. It is not a logistics integration. It is not suitable for updating customers in AFAS, printing packing slips, or synchronizing products/inventory.
  2. 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.
  3. It is possible to process to AFAS sales orders, but there are restrictions. For example, new products are placed in item group 900 by default, VAT type 1 is used for low VAT and VAT type 2 for high VAT in new products.
  4. Tip: Other customers using this integration found the tips in the FAQ for Mijnwebwinkel and in the FAQ for AFAS.

Install integration
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.

Cancel integration
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.
We advise you to revoke the API key of your Mijnwebwinkel shop when uninstalling the integration.

2.How the integration works

A order from the Mijnwebwinkel webshop is processed to a AFAS order or financial entry.

New orders from your webshop are retrieved at least once per hour. Additionally, every night previous orders that have not yet been forwarded to your accounting system are reviewed. If the status of an order has changed so that it may be processed to AFAS, the integration will do so.
Read more How the integration works .... Read less How the integration works ....

Pre-check orders
At the start of processing an order, we perform a number of checks on the Mijnwebwinkel order:
  • It is checked whether the total of the Mijnwebwinkel order is equal to the sum of the amounts in the order lines plus the shipping cost amount.
  • If the order is an ICP order, the VAT number is checked.
  • It is checked whether a corresponding VAT code exists in AFAS for the VAT in each line.
  • It is checked whether the order has not already been processed.

Processing orders
Processing a Mijnwebwinkel order to AFAS takes place in three steps:
  1. It is checked if the customer already exists in AFAS. If not, the customer is created. Matching is based on the email address.
  2. When processing to AFAS orders, it is checked whether the products from the Mijnwebwinkel order are already present in AFAS. Missing products are created.
  3. The AFAS order or financial entry is created and added.

Post-check
After the order has been forwarded and a success message from AFAS has been received, the order is marked as handled. The Mijnwebwinkel order appears at the Reporting tab on the dashboard.

If AFAS 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 AFAS later in the manual.

3.Required: Mijnwebwinkel key

You set up the connection with MijnWebWinkel using a key. You create this key in your webshop administration environment via Settings > API > Add Token. Please note: When selecting the partner in the dropdown menu, you must choose webwinkelfacten and not the name of your accounting software!

Read more Required Mijnwebwinkel ....
Read less Required Mijnwebwinkel ....

You can find the key itself under the API overview. If you click on Show token, the key will appear. Copy this into the login screen for the connection.

With this key, the integration can read data from your webshop without you having to provide your username and password. Therefore, you run no risk of unauthorized persons logging into your account.

4.Required: AFAS Key and connectors

To get the connection working, an AppConnector must be created in the Afas Administration. The AppConnector must be populated with GetConnectoren and UpdateConnectoren.

Read more Required Afas.nl ....
Read less Required Afas.nl ....

Step 0: Create user group and special user

Afas advises you to create a separate username and user group for the connection.

  1. Creating a separate user group is done via General > Administration > Authorization tool
  2. Create the new user group via Group > New and fill in the details.
  3. Create system user and place in group
    • Go to User > New system user
    • Vul de gebruikersnaam en omschrijving in.
    • Click on: Next.
    • Profit Windows must be unchecked.
    • Complete the wizard. You do not need to enter an email address and UPN.
    • Go to the tab: Group maintenance.
    • Select the user group you created in step 1.
    • Go to the tab: Users in group.
    • Click on New.
    • Check the connector user.
    • Click on: Ok.
    • Close the Authorization tool. You do not need to reopen the environment.
    • Also see https://help.afas.nl/help/NL/SE/App_Auth_Group_Add.htm

 

Step 1: Create AppConnector

To create the AppConnector, log in to the Profit environment and go to General > Administration > AppConnector.

Enter a clear description for the AppConnector and specify a user group. Afas users in that user group can use the connector.

Then click Finish.

The AppConnector opens. The check mark next to Blocked is pre-checked. Remove this check mark.

Step 2: Add GetConnectoren

We make the GetConnectors available as a zip file. You can download this file here: https://www.webwinkelfacturen.nl/afas_getconnectors.zip

Extract the zip file on your own computer.

Then go to General > Output > Management > GetConnector and click on import.

You can import the GetConnectors one by one. After that, you can add them to the AppConnector. If you are working in a browser, you can upload the GetConnectors to your temporary Afas drive via the lines at the top of the screen and the upload circle.

Step 3: Add UpdateConnectoren

Go to the Update Connectors option and click New to add a new Update Connector. We recommend adding these connectors:

  1. FbItemArticle - for adding products
  2. FiEntries - for adding financial transactions
  3. FbSales - for adding orders
  4. KnSalesRelationOrg - for adding customer organizations
  5. KnSalesRelationPer - for adding customer relationships

Step 4: Add user tokens

Via the User Token tab, you can generate a code to authorize the connection to the Afas environment. Click on New to create a new user token.

Select the user and provide a description. You can create multiple tokens for one user.

A screen with a special code will now appear. Save this code carefully. You will need this code during the configuration of the connection on the dashboard https://uwkoppeling.webwinkelfacturen.nl. Please note that you need the entire code, including the 1 part.

If you are working via the browser, you can copy the code from the top of the screen. This saves a lot of typing and prevents errors.

 

5.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 Mijnwebwinkel webshop. Through this step, you authorize the integration to read the data from your webshop.
2. Establishing the connection with AFAS. This authorizes the integration to write transactions to your AFAS administration and read information.
3. Configuring additional data, such as the VAT settings.

Read more Installation .... Read less Installation ....

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 Mijnwebwinkel webshop:
Authentication with your Mijnwebwinkel webshop is done via the API key you created in a previous section. Click the red Connect button next to Mijnwebwinkel and enter the API key in the popup window. If the connection is correctly established, the indicator will turn green. If the connection is not established, check whether the API key for the correct provider - being Webwinkelfacturen - was created in the previous section.

Authentication AFAS
Establishing the connection with AFAS is done via the red Connect button in the Configuration tab. In the pop-up, you enter your Customer Code (this is the AFAS online 5-digit member number), and the token you created in the previous section. Please note, you need the entire code as a token, including the 1-part.

Settings AFAS
To use AFAS, 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. 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 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 for an ICP order.

6.Day-to-day: From Mijnwebwinkel

In this section, we show how we retrieve the orders from the webshop.

Processing schedule: New orders from your webshop are retrieved at least once per hour. Additionally, every night previous orders are reviewed that have not yet been forwarded to AFAS. The integration goes back a maximum of 60 days in time to update orders. The reason is that the integration is allowed a maximum of 60 requests per hour.

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 AFAS.

Status processing: For each order, the status of the order is reviewed. Orders with the status:
- Paid
- Shipped
- Paid and shipped
are processed to AFAS.

It is possible to have orders processed to the accounting system for other statuses. You can easily set this in the Configuration tab of the dashboard.

VAT numbers: For business orders within the EU, outside the Netherlands, a VAT number is mandatory. The integration checks for this and also verifies the correctness of the VAT number. In Mijnwebwinkel orders, the VAT number is located in the billing address of the order's debtor.

7.Day-to-day: To AFAS

This data is processed to AFAS:

Creating orders / sales transactions
The orders from Mijnwebwinkel are imported into AFAS 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 AFAS.

Cost center It is possible to provide one default cost center to the order or sales transaction. One default cost center is possible per integration. Contact webcare@webwinkelfacturen.nl stating the license key to make use of this.

Create debtors
When processing customer information, it is first checked whether the customer has been processed before. If so, this AFAS debtor is used as the debtor for the AFAS order or financial entry. If the customer is not yet known, they are added to AFAS. Matching is based on email address. Please note: The integration only creates debtors. The integration does not modify debtors.

Create products
When processing to AFAS orders incl. products, products that are not yet in AFAS will be added. See here for an explanation of how product codes are determined FAQ. The product is assigned VAT group 1 if the product has 9% or 6% in the sales line. Otherwise, the new product is assigned VAT group 2. The product is automatically placed in AFAS item group 900. Ensure that this is also configured in the AFAS administration, otherwise the entries may go wrong.
Please note: The integration only creates products. The integration does not modify products.

The rules for matching products between Mijnwebwinkel and AFAS can be found in this FAQ be read.

Automatically sending invoices
The integration creates an order or financial entry in AFAS, not an invoice. Therefore, the integration cannot ensure that the invoice is automatically sent to the customer.
