e-conomic integration: automatic posting from your system
An e-conomic integration means your own system creates the debtor, posts the invoice and can pull arrears in Visma e-conomic, so the bookkeeper does not type the same thing twice. e-conomic is the default when an accountant sits next to the owner-manager. The API exists as older REST and newer OpenAPI. New functionality lands on OpenAPI. Pick a master: either your app owns the customer, or e-conomic does. Two-way sync “to be safe” is the most expensive sentence in an integration project. Tokens take five minutes when you know where they are — and a week when the key sits with an accountant on holiday.

What you typically sync in an e-conomic integration
- Debtors (match on CVR, not only name)
- Products and account/VAT mapping
- Invoices and credit notes
- Payment status
- Dimensions: department, cost centre, project — only if you actually use them
One rule that removes 80% of the errors
Pick a master. Either your app owns the customer, or e-conomic does. Two-way sync “to be safe” is the most expensive sentence in an integration project.
CVR lookup
Name and address are fetched before the card is created. See [cvr.dev](/articles/integrations/cvr-dev-integration).
Debtor
Match on CVR. Create only if it does not exist.
Invoice
Lines, VAT and dimensions follow your chart of accounts.
Paid
[MobilePay](/articles/integrations/mobilepay-integration) or a gateway writes status so you do not chase someone who paid.
Tokens and access
You need an app token and an agreement token. The owner of the e-conomic agreement has to grant access. That is five minutes when you know — and a week when “the key sits with the accountant, and he is on holiday”.
As part of a Ceptiv system, e-conomic is typically one of the package integrations. A standalone “just a wire” with no clear flow costs more than the package, because the mapping is the project. Small: DKK 18,000 + DKK 600/month. See pricing.
Send which chart of accounts you run, and whether you use dimensions. Then we can say whether this is a week or a project. Quote within 24 hours.
FAQ: e-conomic integration
Can we keep our accountant?
Yes. A good integration turns the accountant’s job into review, not typing.
What does it cost?
As part of a Ceptiv system it is typically one package integration. A standalone wire with no flow costs more than the package, because the mapping is the project.
REST or OpenAPI?
New functionality lands on OpenAPI. New integrations should be OpenAPI-first unless you are stuck on a legacy app.
Should history sync backwards?
Rarely. Start from go-live. Back-syncing five years of vouchers is its own project.
Can we sync dimensions?
Yes, if you actually use them. Otherwise it is noise that makes the mapping more expensive.
