Limitations & specificities

All lines of a financial entry use the same account type: all general accounts, or all customer and supplier accounts.Each customer or supplier line needs an automated_matching_number holding the number of an existing invoice of that same customer or supplier. e-Boekhouden books the payment against that invoice.
Rules for a journal entry:
  • It accepts one customer or supplier at most.
  • It uses at least two different accounts.
  • It is booked in EUR only.
  • It is booked in the memorial journal, the only general journal the connector writes to. Its journal ID is 7.
Rules for an invoice:
  • An invoice number is required.
  • The invoice number is up to 50 characters.
  • The invoice number must not already exist in e-Boekhouden.
  • Each line’s tax rate matches the rate of its VAT code.
e-Boekhouden’s REST API does not expose an endpoint for uploading file attachments. Attach PDFs in e-Boekhouden’s web interface.
  • The pdf field in POST /accounting/journal-entries and POST /accounting/invoices is accepted by Chift but silently ignored. No attachment reaches e-Boekhouden.
  • POST /accounting/invoices/pdf/{invoice_id} returns ERROR_RESOURCE_NOT_SUPPORTED.
A connection covers a single e-Boekhouden administration: the one its API token gives access to. The e-Boekhouden API has no way to switch to another administration. GET /accounting/folders can list other administrations, linked ones or those an accountant manages, but a connection cannot switch to them.Connect each administration separately, with an API token from that administration.
