Mercurius invoice export (new API integration)

Cipal Schaubroeck is a Belgian IT company that provides financial management software (Alfa / FoxBoek) to many municipalities, OCMWs, and police zones. These systems are connected to Mercurius, the Belgian government's central e-invoicing platform.

To replace the existing XML-based file exchange between Recreatex and the financial systems connected to Mercurius, a new REST API integration is being introduced. As the XML-based approach will be phased out over time, the new Recreatex plugin provides support for the API and ensures continued invoice export functionality for our customers.

To learn more about how to switch to the new integration, please contact your account manager.

The new plugin offers:
  • Secure API connection: Data is exchanged via a secured API instead of file transfers, reducing the risk of data loss or interception.

  • Fully automated export: Once configured, invoices are exported automatically on each scheduled run, removing the need for manual file handling.

  • PDF export: Invoice PDFs can be included in the export, with customizable file names based on Recreatex fields (invoice number, customer name, date, OGM, etc.).

  • Manual export option: Export can also be triggered manually, filtered by invoice number range or date range.

  • Automatic retry & error notifications: Failed invoices are automatically retried in the next run. You receive an email overview of any failures with the reason, so nothing gets lost.

  • Configurable per division: The plugin is fully configurable per division, including connection settings, Mercurius-specific parameters, and error email settings.
