AFAS-specific setup. For general Sources behaviour (connection status, sync schedule, manual refresh, common imports FAQ), see Sources overview.
Step-by-Step Guide
Preparation: access control
Log into AFAS Profit
Go to "Algemeen > Beheer > Autorisatie tool"
Select the “Onderhoud gebruikers” tab
Find the user you want to use to set up the connection
Check the "Lid van groep" tab on the righthand side
Is the user in a group with sufficient access? We recommend the
PR001group
Check the "Autorisatie" tab on the righthand side
We expect to see all the administrations under Algemeen > Administratie > Filters > Algemeen - Administraties
Step 1: Add a new App connector
Navigate to "Algemeen > Beheer > App connector"
Select "Nieuw"
Add a new App connector using this configuration:
Omschrijving: Finstack
Authenticatietype: Classic token (2)
Automatisch token genereren: Ja
Maak een nieuwe gebruikersgroep aan: Ja
Maak een nieuwe gebruiker aan: Ja
Step 2: Add GetConnectors
When completing the previous step, you will enter the "Nieuwe App connector"-wizard to add GetConnectoren
Select "Acties > Importeren" to import the GetConnectoren from Finstack
These are attached for download at the bottom of this article
Select "Map" to import the full folder from the ZIP file
Step 3: Configure Finstack_Administrations
Make sure to assign the correct entities as shown in the screenshot below.
Double click on the Finstack_Administrations GetConnector and select "Next"
Select "Gegevens" in Wijzigen GetConnector and select "Volgende"
In the "Wizard gegevensverzameling":
The "Veld" should be AdministrationId
Use a semicolon (;) separated list in "Filter op deze waarden".
You can find the available IDs through your Account (top-right) and "Administratie selecteren".
You can check the current filter by selecting "Voorbeeld"
Step 4: Add UpdateConnectors
Go to the next step to configure UpdateConnectoren
Please skip this step, as Finstack does not use these connectors
Step 5: Generate token
Select "Voltooien"
The generated token needs to be configured in Finstack
In Finstack, go to Setup > Sources and select Add source top right
Select AFAS
Populate the three fields
Environment/Omgevingsnaam
Token name
Token value
Press Confirm
That should be it! The data will now be synced to Finstack.
Instructions to upload GetConnectors
Make sure you have exported the connectors into a single folder, for example using the ZIP file
Navigate to "Algemeen > Uitvoer > Beheer > GetConnector"
Select Meer acties
Select Importeren
Select Map
Search for the folder with the GetConnectors
Select Voltooien
Note: Files with the same name will be overwritten
Double check if Status is “GOED”
Select Voltooien
You have now replaced your GetConnectors
Instructions to replace GetConnectors in App Connector
Navigate to "Algemeen > Uitvoer > Beheer > GetConnector"
Select Meer Acties
Select Importeren > Map (folder)
Select Voltooien (this will override the existing files with the same name)
Check if Status is "GOED"
Select Voltooien
🚨Be aware that if you replace Finstack_Administrations.gcn you need to reset the filter! See step 2.
What happens when I renumber a GLA in AFAS?
AFAS does not signal account renumbering through its API. As a result, when you change an account number (e.g., from 4031 to 4029) in AFAS:
The old account number continues to appear in Finstack alongside the new one.
The new account number appears as a separate GLA — without any of the elimination settings or mappings that were tied to the old number.
To pick up the change in Finstack:
Reach out via the chat interface within Finstack to request a full re-import. This is needed for Finstack to recognise the new account structure.
After the re-import, re-apply any eliminations that were set on the old account. Elimination settings are bound to the original account number, so they don't transfer automatically.
Verify the mapping of the new GLA in Setup → Mapping to ensure it's assigned to the correct class in your structure.
Tip: if you're planning multiple renumberings, complete them all in AFAS first, then request a single full re-import. That way you only need to re-apply eliminations and check mappings once.
