To make sure your Moss transactions are correctly exported to Twinfield, we will need to create 4 different accounting attributes in Twinfield: purchase journal, balance account, Moss default supplier and bank account.

To start, we will have to create a new purchase journal to be able to export your transaction receipts from Moss to Twinfield, without interfering with the configurations of your existing purchase journal.

To do so, go to Company settings > Transaction types > Type the code for the new journal (for example, INK2) and click Next. Then, select Purchase invoice in the Transaction type category drop-down and click Next once more.

Once in the journal settings page, name the new journal and scroll all the way down to Document imaging. Setting this up correctly is of major importance, as it will allow us to easily link receipts in Moss to the corresponding purchase entries in Twinfield.

How does document imaging work? In this section we will define the base URL of the receipt in Moss (https://getmoss.com/app/transactions/all/view/) and indicate in which field will the transaction identifier be provided. In the case of Moss, the transaction identifier will be provided by the Description field. When an entry is created, Twinfield will combine base URL and entry description to generate the receipt URL.

To set it up, provide a Name, fill the Link field with the following value (https://getmoss.com/app/transactions/all/view/$Description$) and click Save:

Open the left navigation panel > Financial professionals > Dimensions > Balans > Click First free code, as shown in the screenshot below and move to the next page.

Once there, name the new balance account as you wish and click Save:

All transactions you make with a Moss card will be booked to the same Moss Default Supplier. Hence, you will need to create this supplier in Twinfield so that you can later define it as your default supplier in the Moss app.

To create a new supplier for Moss, open the left navigation panel > Purchase > New suppliers > name the new supplier and click Save.

To create a new bank account, go to Cash & Banks > Bank accounts > click New bank account and complete the New bank form as desired. For the Account number, since it is not yet possible to create a Moss bank account, we will have to provide a fictitious account number: select Account type = BBAN and use Account number = 0123456789.

Next, click Create and go to account settings > Select Bank statement processing on the left panel > fill the form as shown in the screenshot below and click Save:

Once we have created the required accounting resources in Twinfield, we can start the accounting set-up in the Moss platform.

Log in to your Moss account, go to Accounting > General setup and use the codes of the Balance Account and Supplier Account created earlier in Twinfield to populate these fields. For the Cash in Transit field, we are going to be reusing your Twinfield crediteuren account, most likely with code 1600.

Once you have completed the general setup, we will have to import your Twinfield accounting attributes into Moss, meaning Expense Accounts (Winst & verlies), Suppliers (Leverancies), VAT Rates (BTW), Cost Centers (Kostenplaatsen).

All resources except VAT rates can easily be downloaded from Twinfield. We recommend exporting them in Excel format, formatting them to the format required by Moss, saving the file in CSV format and importing it into Moss. For example, for Expense accounts, go to Financial professionals > Dimensions > Winst & verlies and click Export all.

Once in the File Manager view, click on the file name to download.

Format the file as shown below, keeping only the Name and Account Number columns in this specific order and save it in CSV format.

Then, go back to the Moss platform > Accounting > Expense Accounts, click Add / Import Subcategory and upload your CSV file containing your Twinfield balance accounts.

Repeat the operation with Suppliers (Leverancies), VAT Rates (BTW), Cost Centers (Kostenplaatsen).

Your Moss transactions can be exported to Twinfield’s Purchase and Bank journals by means of CSV files. For ease of use, we have created two predefined export formats that you can easily add to your Moss account.

What is an export format? An export format allows us to structure and format the data stored in Moss to meet the requirements of the accounting system, in this case Twinfield, going from column order, to column and decimal separators, amounts formats, etc.

As mentioned above, the transactions created in Moss need to be exported to both the Purchase and Bank journals in Twinfield. Since they have different import requirements, two different export formats will have to be created: Twinfield Purchase and Twinfield Bank.

To create a new export format in Moss, you will need to go to Accounting > Export Formats and click Create export format, which will open the Format Preferences. Once you have named the export format, open the Base template drop-down, select Twinfield CSV - Purchase and click Continue:

When landing in the Columns page, you will see that the mapping is already predefined. This mapping is intended to meet the requirements of the average Twinfield set-up. Nevertheless, if you have specific wishes, the export format can easily be customized. Please note however that Twinfield is very strict when it comes to the number of columns and their position within the CSV file. As a result, we strongly advise limiting the changes to the Data source column.

Export file example:

After creating the Purchase export format, you will have to follow the very same flow to create a bank format.
