How does the Accounting screen work?
- Answer
In Accounting you set up the link with your accounting package (Exact Online, Twinfield, SnelStart or Odoo), choose which general ledger account belongs to which amount, and see for each day close whether it has arrived in the package. There are three tabs: Sent, Administration and Cash differences.
- Where to find it
Settings > Money and figures > Accounting link (the Accounting screen), under Administration and costs. Only with the add-on Accounting link (
/Settings/Boekhouding). If it is off, the screen says that Count the cash is not available without the Accounting link and points to Settings > Add-ons- Explanation
Every night at 06:00 everything that is outstanding automatically goes to the package. "Every day close goes to the accounting package once. Here you see for which day that worked and for which it did not." At the top right is Need help?, which opens a help request. The role permission is called Accounting. A step-by-step guide is in Can I connect Jimani to my accounting package?.

"Don't forget to save: a scheme that has not been saved does not go to the package." The cash is counted On: after closing a counter appears and the difference goes to the accounting.

Message What it means What you do The chart of accounts has not been filled in yet. Until then nothing can go to the accounting package. No accounts have been chosen yet. Fill in the chart of accounts and choose Save scheme. Under Other, choose an account for {0}. Without that account a day on which it occurs does not go to the accounting package. Your business uses something (for example tourist tax) for which no account has been chosen yet. Choose that account under Other. No day has been closed yet, so there is nothing to send. There is no day close yet. First close a day. The package couldn't be reached. The test got no connection. Check the address, the administration and the key. - Related
