Turn on Tripletex as an option for invoice export
Go to System Settings → Economy → Invoice Export, and select Tripletex as the option for invoice export. Then, Tripletex will appear as a choice in the invoice overview when you have ticked the relevant invoices.
Unlike several other of our invoice export options, you do not need to enter additional information for the products in the product overview in RecMan to connect this to Tripletex. The only thing that is included from RecMan is the product number, and it will be matched automatically inside Tripletex.
When exchanging for the first time, make sure that the customer numbers match in the two systems. When creating customers later, it is important that RecMan is used as a master so that you do not sit in both systems and create customers with different customer numbers.
File export to Tripletex
When exporting to Tripletex, it can be good to have an understanding of which fields from RecMan are included in the file export. We will explain this in more detail in this part of the article. The first thing to do is to generate the Tripletex files, this is done by selecting the relevant invoices and pressing the Tripletex button. Then, you will get a CSV file you can download (shown in the image below).
Note
We do not send over attachments for Tripletex.
This file can be opened in Excel to look at the included information. It is important to keep in mind that when saving in Excel, some formatting changes may appear that look strange. For example, a number of hours "7.5h" appears as "Jul 5" (i.e., date) or on social security numbers that start with «0» Excel removes «0» and starts on the next number with value.
Below, we have made a table that shows what information is included in the file exported from RecMan and from where in RecMan it retrieves the information.

Import in Tripletex
You must first go to the area for importing invoices, as shown in that image, and you retrieve the file you have generated in RecMan. Then you choose that it should be the old file format, and then new choices appear - here, it is important that you remove the check mark that says Ignore the first row (heading row). See the image below of what it should look like in Tripletex.
Sample files
TripleTex has both an export and an integration with our system. The export works by downloading a CSV file that can be imported directly into TripleTex, while the API integration allows you just to press the envelope in RecMan, and it is transferred fully automatically.
