🛠 Preparation

Step 1: Create a Chift App

Go to AFAS Online Login and log in with your AFAS credentials.
Use a Citrix session (not Citrix in the browser). You won’t be able to copy the credentials later.
Navigate to the General page and open App connector. Create a new App connector. Configure the App connector as shown in the following screenshot:

Step 2: Add the Chift GetConnectors to your App

Use the import functionality to add the file below: AFAS_GetConnectors_24092026.zip (download it and import it as illustrated in the screenshot below)
  1. Save the zip file locally and extract it to a folder.
  1. Select this folder from your machine and click Finish.
After accepting the warning message, AFAS will import the GetConnectors. Once done, select Next :

Step 3: Add the UpdateConnectors

Use the search bar to find and add the following UpdateConnectors:
  • Inkooprelatie organisatie - KnPurchaseRelationOrg
  • Inkooprelatie persoon - KnPurchaseRealationPer
  • Verkoopsrelatie organisatie - KnSalesRelationOrg
  • Verkoopsrelatie persoon - KnSalesRelationPer
  • Financiële mutaties - FiEntries
  • Code verbijzondering - KnDimCode
Check the boxes for each connector, click Finish, then click New to continue adding all connectors. Once all UpdateConnectors are added, click Next. Click Finish
Make sure to select all the GetConnectors and UpdateConnectors specified in the documentation. Even if a connector seems irrelevant to your use case, the integration will not work unless all connectors are activated.

Step 4: Save your API token

AFAS will display the API token after completing the connector setup.
Save it securely, as you will need to fill it in during the activation of the connection described in the next section. This Chift App requires the “Algemeen - Adminstraties” authorisation filter. You can check this by going to the Authorisation tool, and finding the authorisation group that was automatically created as part of the App Connector process on the left hand side of the screen. When selected, find the authorisation filters in the “Authorisiation” tab and activate the relevant Administraties(folders), you want to use as part of the integration. In the example picture, only the Administratie 1 will be part of the scope.

⚡️ Connection

❶ Connect

1) Company ID

a) In the url: b) At the top-right corner of your screen.

Make sure you paste the token exactly as saved.
