# How does the SnelStart integration work?

SnelStart is one of the [accounting software packages](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/linking-your-accounting-software-to-robaws-1dheeh7/) that Robaws has a direct integration with.
Thanks to the API integration between Robaws and **SnelStart**, these packages work together seamlessly.
You can prepare your entire bookkeeping from Robaws, so that it is taken over one to one in SnelStart.

||| You need a SnelStart subscription of the type 'inKaart, inBalans, inZicht or inControle' to be able to use the integration.

## Activating the integration

You can activate the integration via **settings > integrations > SnelStart**.
You go through the following steps:

1. You click on 'Connect with SnelStart'
2. Enter the SnelStart credentials

Once you have completed these steps, the integration between Robaws and SnelStart is in place.

||| Do you want to break the integration? That has to be done via SnelStart.

## What you can do with this integration

The integration between Robaws and SnelStart supports a great deal:

* [Export incoming and sales invoices](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/sending-your-incoming-and-sales-invoices-to-the-accountant-1nskj7t/) to SnelStart
* [Sync the payment status of incoming and sales invoices](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/how-a-payment-in-your-accounting-software-reaches-robaws-1s8ahoh/) back to Robaws
* [Import](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/working-with-gl-accounts-u6n102/)/synchronise GL accounts with Robaws
* [Export cost centres](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/cost-centres-and-cost-bearers-m032im/) to SnelStart

|| Do you work with several companies? Then the imported GL accounts are linked to the correct company: a GL account that is imported for a specific company is only available for that company, and GL accounts that are not linked to a specific company remain available for all companies. You will find more explanation in [Using GL accounts](/en/article/working-with-gl-accounts-u6n102/).

## Important points to watch out for with this integration

**Payment terms**
Robaws has extensive options for determining the due date of incoming and sales invoices. In SnelStart this is less extensive.

* Sales invoices: we calculate the number of days between the date and the due date. That number is passed on to SnelStart as the payment term for the invoice.
* Incoming invoices: we set the default payment term on the supplier relation based on the payment condition on the supplier in Robaws. It is not possible to pass on a specific payment term for a single invoice with purchase bookings to SnelStart.

 **VAT codes**
Robaws automatically links every VAT tariff to a SnelStart VAT code on the basis of the percentage:

0% -> 'None' ('Geen' in SnelStart)
9% -> 'Low' ('Laag' in SnelStart)
21% -> 'High' ('Hoog' in SnelStart)
All other percentages -> 'Other' ('Overig' in SnelStart)

Do you want to link a VAT tariff to a different SnelStart VAT code? You do this as follows:

* Go to **settings > general > VAT tariffs**
* Open the VAT tariff in Robaws that you want to link
* Click on the pencil next to 'Snelstart'
* Choose the correct VAT type and click on save

**Financial discount/payment discount**
SnelStart does not offer any option to pass these on separately. In VAT terms, they are booked through correctly by Robaws.

**Direct debit**
Do you have a [payment condition](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/setting-up-your-payment-conditions-94873u/) for which direct debit applies in SnelStart? Then you can create this payment condition in Robaws too.
If you have an active integration with a SnelStart account, you have the option on the payment condition to activate direct debit.
A direct debit is then created when the invoices are exported to SnelStart.
