How does the Twinfield integration work?

Twinfield is one of the accounting software packages that Robaws has a direct integration with.
Thanks to the API integration between Robaws and Twinfield, these packages work together seamlessly.
You can prepare your entire bookkeeping from Robaws, so that it is taken over one to one in Twinfield.

An integration with Twinfield is chargeable: you pay an additional cost per integration you set up from Robaws. You can find the current prices on the Robaws pricing page.

What you can do with Twinfield

The integration between Robaws and Twinfield supports a great deal, which makes using it very advantageous:

Activating the integration

You activate the integration via settings > integrations > Twinfield.
You go through the following steps:

Click on 'connect with Twinfield'
Choose the language of your Twinfield and click on 'autorise'
Enter your Twinfield credentials and click on 'log in'
After logging in, the option to choose a file appears

Once you have completed these steps, the integration between Robaws and Twinfield is in place. You can now take the steps described below.

If you have several companies, you can set up a separate integration for each company individually by clicking on 'default' in the top left of the settings.

Steps before first use

Once you have completed the steps above, the integration between Robaws and Twinfield is in place. That does not mean you can export sales invoices and incoming invoices straight away.
Before you can use the integration, there are a few crucial steps left to complete:

Importing GL accounts
Linking VAT tariffs
Linking journals

Importing GL accounts

As soon as you have activated the integration with Twinfield, you can import the GL accounts from Twinfield into Robaws. You do this via settings > general > GL account and the Import from accounting software action button at the top.
After that, Robaws keeps this list up to date automatically through a daily synchronisation. You can also synchronise the GL accounts again manually at any time, using that same action button.

Once the GL accounts have been imported, you can link them at line level in your sales invoices and incoming invoices. When you export to Twinfield, these GL accounts are sent along.
Do you not link a GL account at line level in the invoice? Then Robaws falls back on the default GL account from the Twinfield settings.

Linking VAT tariffs

To be able to export invoices to Twinfield, it is important that the VAT tariffs in Robaws are linked to the correct VAT tariffs in Twinfield.
That way Robaws knows which VAT tariff to book on.
It is also important that the VAT tariffs for sales invoices and incoming invoices are split completely. Is that not the case at the moment? Then you will have to correct this in the settings first.

You link a VAT tariff as follows:

Go to settings > general > VAT tariffs
Open the VAT tariff in Robaws that you want to link to a VAT tariff from Twinfield
Click on the pencil next to 'Twinfield'
Look up the correct VAT tariff from Twinfield and click on 'link'

Linking journals

In the Twinfield settings you can enter default journals for sales, purchase, labour costs, material and indirect costs. Do you not deviate from these? Then it is enough to set them in this place.
Do you want to link the Twinfield journals to specific journals in Robaws? Then enter the Twinfield journal code on the journal in Robaws, via settings > general > journals. This code overrides the default code from the settings.

Settings

Setting	Explanation
Default sales and purchase journal	Here you can set the default journal for sales invoices or incoming invoices. If you have several journals in Robaws, you can enter this code in the journal concerned in the settings.
Default sales and purchase GL account	Default GL account that is fallen back on for sales invoices or incoming invoices. You can assign a different GL account to a customer/supplier/item. You can also set a different GL account manually on an invoice line.
Default VAT tariff 0% for sales and purchase	Here you can set a default VAT tariff of 0% for sales or purchases. This is used, among other things, to include financial discounts in the lines.
Sync payment status of sales invoices and incoming invoices	Here you can set whether you want the payment status for sales invoices or incoming invoices to be synchronised from Twinfield to Robaws.
Use cost centres for invoice and incoming invoice	Using the projects as cost centres in Twinfield.
Create invoices as draft	If you activate this function, the invoices are created in Twinfield as a draft instead of being booked definitively. That way you can check them in Twinfield first, before you book them definitively.

Twinfield is an external partner of Robaws (part of Wolters Kluwer). Do you have a question about Twinfield itself — for example about your file, your journals or the settings within Twinfield? Then contact Twinfield support.
