How does the Ponto integration work?

What is Ponto?

Ponto is a budget-friendly tool from the Isabel Group that lets you link Robaws to your bank account(s).
The integration consists of two functionalities:

• Retrieving payments and automatically deducting them from sales invoices
• Paying incoming invoices

How do I activate the Ponto integration?

First of all, you need to have a Ponto account.
Do you not have such an account yet? Then you can create one via their website.

Once you have created an account, you can link one or more bank accounts to your account.

The next step is linking Ponto to Robaws. To do so, go to Settings > Integrations > Ponto in Robaws.
When you activate the integration, you are redirected to the Ponto website, where you are asked for your permission to link Ponto to Robaws.

Once the integration has been completed successfully, you can activate a few more settings in Robaws:

• Synchronize payments: if you switch this function on, Robaws retrieves payment information from your account every 2 hours. That way payments are assigned to the sales invoice automatically and the invoice is then deducted in Robaws.
• Pay incoming invoices: this function gives you the option to pay a selection of incoming invoices via Ponto from the incoming invoices overview. You do this with the 'Pay incoming invoices' button, where you choose 'send to Ponto'.
• Use bulk payments if supported: by default, payments via Ponto are created in bulk, if the integration with the bank concerned allows it. Via settings > integrations > Ponto you can indicate that every payment has to be created individually. At the moment of the actual payment, you can then select which payment you do and do not want to execute. That option is not available when executing payments in bulk.

Use

Once Ponto is linked to Robaws, you will find the following:

• in the overview of the invoices and the incoming invoices you will find all payments via the 'payments' (€) action button at the top, and you can assign them to (incoming) invoices.
• in the overview of the incoming invoices you can use the 'pay incoming invoices' action button to choose whether you generate a payment file or pay the incoming invoices via Ponto

Determining the status change

Once you have exported a number of incoming invoices to Ponto and executed the payment, the status of the incoming invoice is changed to the status you entered under 'New status after payment initiation' in settings > incoming invoices. This is the same status that is set as soon as you generate a payment file.

When the payment is actually executed, the status of the incoming invoice changes to the status 'paid'.

Reauthorising Ponto

Ponto requires the integration with Robaws to be authorised again every 180 days. To do so, you have to log in to Ponto from Robaws to authorise your account.
