How do I connect my accounting software via BillSync?

⚠️ Important: This article is about the BillSync integration via the accountant portal. Are you an in-house accountant without access to the accountant portal? Then contact us via the Help button in the platform.

What is BillSync?

BillSync is a Windows service that you install on a PC or server. It takes care of the automatic synchronisation between Billit and your accounting software. With BillSync, you can:

  • Automatically download UBL, CODA and other files (such as reports or documents) to local folders.
  • For Expert/M and Adsolut, send additional data back to Billit, such as customers, suppliers, general ledger accounts and booking details (bidirectional integration).

Important if you are installing BillSync:

Are you installing BillSync yourself or having an IT partner do it?
Then make sure of the following:

  1. Create a (temporary) user via Settings > Users in the accountant portal for the person who will carry out the installation.
  2. Make sure you have access to the PC or server with administrator rights so that software can be installed.

  • Uninstall BillSync
    Down

    Before you start: uninstalling removes the local installation, but the connection and the settings remain registered in the Billit platform. If you want to break the connection permanently, first open the BillSync window and click "Disconnect from Billit".

    1. Run the installer and select "Uninstall", or remove BillSync via Windows Apps & features.
    2. Select the BillSync instance you want to remove and click "Next".
    3. Click "Close" once the removal is complete.

    The wizard removes the services, shortcuts, registry entries and the entire installation folder. What is not removed:

    • The downloaded documents in your Document folder and CODA folder: these always remain untouched.
    • The settings in the Billit platform: these remain available if you reinstall later.

    I can't see BillSync in Windows Apps & features

    Some older BillSync installations do not appear in Apps & features and/or do not have an uninstaller (appalter.exe) in their installation folder. You can still remove them with the current installer:

    1. Download the installer and run it as administrator.
    2. Select "Uninstall". The list also includes BillSync instances that only exist as a Windows service.
    3. Select the old instance and click "Next".
    4. Click "Close" once the removal is complete.

    Note: if the folder cannot be removed completely (e.g. because of a locked file), restart the PC and delete the remaining files manually. Use services.msc to check that no BillSync services are left.
