Environment selects the AFAS environment that all your connections call.
  • Production (default): connections call the production environment, whose name starts with O.
  • Test: connections call the test environment, whose name starts with T.
  • Accept: connections call the acceptance environment, whose name starts with A.
Change it when your end users’ credentials come from a Test or Accept environment.
A connection to a Test or Accept environment fails while this setting is on Production.

AFAS setup guide for end users

The full step-by-step, with screenshots.
Before they start, your end users need:
  • an AFAS login with full admin rights
  • dimensions and automatic numbering for debtors and creditors enabled in AFAS
  • a collective account (verzamelrekening) configured for debtors, and one for creditors
To connect, they:
  • create an App connector in AFAS Online
  • import the GetConnectors file and add the UpdateConnectors
  • save the API token AFAS displays at the end of the setup, and activate the “Algemeen - Administraties” authorization filter for the administrations to connect
  • enter their Company ID and API Token in the connection form. The Company ID is only the digits of the AFAS environment number: 36480, not O36480AA.
  • pick the Default Payment Terms, which are mandatory
  • optionally pick an Administrative ID and a Default Analytic Plan. The analytic plan appears only when analytic accounting is active.
Connections use the AFAS environment set in your connector settings. The default is Production.
