How to connect SmartBill with easySales: a complete setup guide
Connect SmartBill to easySales: where to find the CIF, token and username, every setting on the form, the stock decision that causes most failures, and what each SmartBill error means.
What connecting SmartBill gives you
SmartBill is a Romanian invoicing service, and it is the one most easySales sellers use. Connected, it issues the invoice for an order without you retyping anything — from the orders list, from the order itself, in bulk, or automatically from a flow. It can also do the opposite job: read your stock levels out of SmartBill and into easySales.
Those are two separate connections with two separate copies of the same credentials. This guide covers both, and says clearly which is which.
Before you start
Your CIF
The fiscal code shown under Configurare → Datele firmei → Generale in SmartBill.
An API token
From Contul Meu → Integrări in SmartBill. It is regenerated whenever you change your SmartBill password.
The account e-mail
The address your SmartBill account is registered with. It is the username half of the credentials.
A decision about stock
Whether SmartBill should take goods out of stock as it invoices. It is a required field, and it is the setting that most often makes invoices fail. Step 4 explains both answers.
Step 1 — Collect three values from SmartBill
Everything easySales needs is already in your SmartBill account.
- CIF — in SmartBill, open Configurare → Datele firmei → Generale and copy the CIF field.
- Token — open Contul Meu → Integrări and look for the API information at the bottom of the page.
- Username — the e-mail address your SmartBill account is registered with.
Step 2 — Open the SmartBill card in easySales
Go to Billing Software and find SmartBill. It is the first card on the page.
Press Connect.
Step 3 — Fill in the connection
| Field | What to put in it |
|---|---|
| Connection name | Anything that identifies this account to you. Required. Never leaves easySales. |
| Company registration number | Your CIF, from SmartBill's Configurare → Datele firmei → Generale. |
| Token | From SmartBill's Contul Meu → Integrări. It changes whenever you change your SmartBill password. |
| Username (Email) | The e-mail address your SmartBill account is registered with. |
Step 4 — Decide whether SmartBill should release stock
Use stock source is the single most consequential setting on this form, and the one worth thinking about before you save.
Set to Yes, SmartBill takes the goods out of stock as it issues each invoice. That is what most sellers want — but it means SmartBill will refuse any invoice whose products it cannot release.
Set to No, the invoice is issued without touching stock and none of that can happen.
If you do use Yes, fill in Warehouse name with the name of the SmartBill warehouse exactly as it is written there. It is case sensitive, and it is applied to product lines only — shipping and discount lines never carry a warehouse.
Step 5 — The rest of the form
| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Use stock source | Whether SmartBill releases stock as it invoices. Required — the form will not save until you answer it. | not set |
| Warehouse name | Which SmartBill warehouse the lines are booked against. Case sensitive. Only used when stock release is on. | empty |
| Use payment tax | Issues the invoice under VAT-on-collection (TVA la încasare). Only turn it on if your company works that way. | No |
| Save the products in the nomenclature | Creates the invoiced products in SmartBill if they are not there yet. | Yes |
| Save products name in the nomenclature | No means SmartBill keeps its own name for a product it already knows. | Yes |
| Exclude tax on products sending | Sends net prices and lets SmartBill add the VAT itself. | No |
| Collect invoices with receipt | Marking an order paid always records the payment as a receipt (Chitanță), whatever the order's real payment method was. | No |
| Download invoice locally in easySales | easySales fetches the PDF once and serves it from its own storage instead of asking SmartBill each time. | Yes |
| Template | Free text printed on the invoice as mentions and observations. The buttons above the box insert order and product values. | empty |
Step 6 — Advanced options
The advanced section is collapsed and nothing in it is required. It holds twenty-four settings; these are the ones that solve real problems.
| Option | Why you would use it |
|---|---|
| Invoice model | Issue proformas instead of invoices from this connection. |
| Block invoice generation if Company VAT ID is missing | Stops an invoice to a company that has no CUI on the order, instead of issuing it wrong. |
| Invoice language | The language SmartBill writes the document in. Romanian if you leave it alone. |
| Due date / Prioritize client-level payment terms | Payment terms in days, and whether a term set on the customer beats this one. |
| Create reverse invoice based on the invoice | Makes a storno a true reverse document built from the original, rather than a new one. |
| Transport service name and code |
Names the shipping line on the invoice. Both have to be filled — one alone does nothing, and the line stays Transport.
|
| VAT rate 0% name | The name of your zero-rate as it exists in SmartBill's VAT table. Applied only to lines whose rate is 0. |
| Autodetect district | Fills the Bucharest sector from the address when the order does not carry one. |
| Transliterate data | Rewrites customer names and addresses into Latin characters for the countries you tick. Useful for Bulgarian and Greek addresses. |
Issuing invoices
| From | What it does |
|---|---|
| Quick Create on the orders list | One invoice for that order. Turns red with the error on it if SmartBill refused. |
| Create Invoice on the order page | The same, from inside the order. |
| Generate invoice as a bulk action | Up to 50 selected orders, one invoice each. |
| A processing group | Invoices every order in the group as it is processed. |
| An automation flow | The Create invoice action, so invoicing happens without anyone pressing anything. |
When SmartBill refuses an invoice
SmartBill's rejections are passed through word for word, in Romanian, whatever language you use easySales in. They are precise once you can read them. These are the ones sellers actually hit.
| What SmartBill says | What to do |
|---|---|
Cantitate stoc insuficienta la … pentru produsul …
|
Stock release is on and SmartBill does not hold enough of that product in the named warehouse. Load the stock in SmartBill, or set Use stock source to No. |
Nu ai facut nicio achizitie pentru produsul … Incarca mai intai stoc pentru produs sau emite documentul fara descarcare de gestiune.
|
Same cause: the product has never been purchased into SmartBill, so there is nothing to release. |
Cota tva a produsului … nu a fost gasita pe server!
|
The product's VAT rate does not exist in your SmartBill VAT table. Add it there, or correct the rate on the order. |
Seria nu a fost gasita! Folositi o serie creata in contul de cloud.
|
The series easySales sent does not exist in SmartBill. Create it there under the same name, or change the series on the marketplace or website the order came from. |
Unitatea de masura … nu are factor de conversie setat.
|
The unit of measure has no conversion factor in SmartBill. Set it on the product there. |
Nu puteti adauga produse cu cote tva diferite daca unul din ele are cota TVA inclusa!
|
One line is VAT-inclusive while others are not. Make the document consistent. |
invoiceProducts trebuie specificat si trebuie sa contina cel putin un element
|
Every line was filtered out — most often by excluding discounts on an order that contained nothing else. |
Firma cu ciful … a expirat la data de …
|
The company registration in SmartBill has lapsed. Renew it in SmartBill. |
Nu poti genera documente prin API. Te rog sa reincarci soldul de credite.
|
SmartBill will not issue any more documents over the API until you resolve it in your SmartBill account. Nothing in easySales can clear it. |
Autentificare esuata. Va rugam verificati datele si incercati din nou.
|
The e-mail or token is wrong, usually after a password change. Paste the current token in again. |
Firma la care incercati sa va conectati nu mai este disponibila in Cloud.
|
The company was removed from SmartBill Cloud. |
Cancelling, deleting and reversing
easySales offers Cancel invoice, Delete invoice and Create Storno Invoice on an order. SmartBill decides which of them it will accept.
A storno is a reverse document and always works, which is why it is the answer whenever cancel and delete are refused.
Optional — using SmartBill as a stock source
SmartBill can also tell easySales how much stock you hold. This is a second, separate connection under Stock sources, with its own copy of the CIF, token and e-mail.
Products are matched on the Inventory Code on the product's Stocks tab, falling back to the SKU when that is empty — the same value SmartBill matches invoice lines on. Inventory sync mode decides whether easySales reads only the warehouse you named or the sum of every SmartBill warehouse.
The sync runs every 30 minutes and is strictly one way: SmartBill overwrites easySales, never the other way round. Any stock you edit in easySales is replaced at the next sync.
