# What is eBoekhouden?

**eBoekhouden** connects OutSmart with your eBoekhouden administration.

It reduces double entry between field work and accounting.

### What you do with eBoekhouden

* import relations into OutSmart
* import products and services into OutSmart
* export completed work orders as invoices
* export OutSmart invoices
* export new relations from OutSmart

### What syncs between both systems

With **eBoekhouden** in OutSmart, you can:

* import **relations** from eBoekhouden into customers
* import **products** into materials
* import **services** into hour types
* export completed **work orders** as invoices to eBoekhouden
* export final **OutSmart invoices** to eBoekhouden
* export new **relations** from OutSmart to eBoekhouden

### How import works

eBoekhouden does not separate materials from services.

OutSmart uses the product unit to decide the type.

Products with the unit **hour** become hour types.

All other products become materials.

### What you need first

Before you start, make sure you have:

* access to **Settings → General → Software integrations**
* your eBoekhouden **username**
* your eBoekhouden **Security Code 1**
* your eBoekhouden **Security Code 2**

### Important to know

* The sync runs automatically every **15 minutes**.
* You can also start a manual sync from the settings page.
* eBoekhouden has a hard limit of **2,000 records** per request.
* If you have more than 2,000 relations or products, not all records import.

{% hint style="warning" %}
To export imported materials correctly, activate and name the first two free fields on the material card.

These fields store the VAT code and counter account code from eBoekhouden.
{% endhint %}

### How the process works

1. Connect your eBoekhouden account.
2. Choose which data OutSmart should import.
3. Choose which data OutSmart should export.
4. Save the settings.
5. Run the first sync.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/integrations/integrations/eboekhouden/what-is-eboekhouden.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
