Import from AFAS Profit

The Import From AFAS Profit node retrieves data from AFAS Profit into a dataflow. It uses AFAS Get Connectors to access data entities.

AFAS Profit exposes data through connectors. Within this node, you configure which data to retrieve via the Advanced settings.

The process works as follows:

1. Select a valid connection to AFAS Profit.
2. Open Advanced and choose the entity (Get Connector) and the fields (columns) you want to retrieve.
3. Optionally configure the Page Size.
4. The node retrieves the data and outputs it into the flow.

Configuration

Setting	Required	Description
Connection	Yes	The connection to the AFAS Profit environment.
Advanced	Yes	Opens a configuration screen where you select the Get Connector (entity) and the fields (columns) you want to retrieve.
Page Size	No	Defines how many records are retrieved per request.

AFAS connectors

AFAS Profit works with two types of connectors:

• Get Connectors: used to retrieve data from AFAS Profit, exposing predefined datasets (entities) such as employees, invoices, or projects. Can be configured in AFAS to include specific fields.
• Update Connectors: used to create or update data in AFAS Profit. Not used in this import node, but relevant for export or update scenarios.

Tips

• Available connectors and fields depend on the AFAS Profit configuration.
• Access rights in AFAS determine which data can be retrieved.
• Only select the fields you actually need in the Advanced configuration.
• Use a reasonable Page Size to balance performance and memory usage.
• Ensure the selected Get Connector is properly configured in AFAS Profit.
