Here you can find all steps to setup the connection between Rydoo and Exact Online, how to choose the right connection settings and to export the data.

Setting up the connection

You can go to Admin, under ACCOUNT SETTINGS, select 'Integrations'.
Choose ‘Exact’ and click on the blue 'Connect' - button:

Fill in the country and then your Exact login details: click on 'login’: 

Choose your settings

Choose the branch from Rydoo (your company/branch) that you would like to connect with Exact Online.

In Rydoo, you can create different corporate entities in your account through the creation of ‘Branches’. They are entities with different VAT numbers and therefore have independent accounting reports. Thus for purposes regarding Rydoo, operate independently.

Since it is also possible to connect with your accounting partner on a branch level, you can export to different Exact accounts or to the same account.  

Two different ways to establish a connection:

1. ‘Back to overview‘: this allows you to link branches to a different Exact accounts.
   
2. 'Add new setting’: this allows you to link the different branches to the same Exact account.
   

In order to keep a clear overview of the connections made, you can edit the name from ‘default setting’ to the ‘branch name’ by clicking on the edit button: 

Choose if you would like your projects to be imported in Rydoo so you can assign expenses to them. Note: Project module will need to be enabled in Exact online (see section what we import / export)

Choose the Journal where to you want to export your expenses. TIP: Make a separate logbook in Exact Online e.g.: 'Expenses Rydoo' to keep a good overview of all your receipts.

How Expenses are Exported Towards Exact Online

Reimbursable expenses can be exported in the following 2 ways:

1. Create an expense line with the name of the Rydoo user as a supplier. We have an additional feature which allows you to bundle reimbursable expenses per user. If this option is selected, we bundle all these expenses and place them under the employee as a supplier.
   
   
   User in Rydoo: Admin Exact Online 
   
   
   Expenses exported:
   
   
   Exporting Expenses with the name of a Rydoo user as a supplier & bundled expenses per user not enabled 
   
   
   Exporting Expenses with the name of a Rydoo user as a supplier & bundled expenses per user enabled 
   
   
   
   
   
2. Create a supplier with the merchant on the receipt  
   
   
   
   
   Company expenses: For company expenses, it is important that a company card is added in Rydoo (Admin settings / users => select user profile => payment methods).
   These payment methods can then be linked to a specific bank account (or also supplier in EOL).  
   
   
   
   
   This functionality is used to link all the non-reimbursable expenses to one specific supplier (e.g. Mastercard/ Visa or User X) so that expenses can easily be reconciled.
