Introduction
This guide explains how to configure e-conomic so it can correctly receive invoices generated through TRAEDE’s faktura module. The main task is setting up the correct product groups in e-conomic, ensuring the right accounts and VAT codes are used for products and shipping.
This setup is required before TRAEDE invoices can be transferred smoothly into e-conomic.
Set up required product groups in e-conomic
In e-conomic, go to Sales → Product groups.
You will see your existing groups, which may look different depending on your setup.
You must have at least two product groups:
TRAEDE products
TRAEDE shipping
The names do not matter — the accounts and VAT codes do.
Configure the “TRAEDE products” product group
Your TRAEDE products group must contain the following VAT zone setup:
Domestic (DK)
Must refer to an account with 25% VAT
Default VAT code: U25
EU
Must refer to an account with 0% VAT
Default VAT code: EUV (EU VAT-free)
Abroad (outside EU)
Must refer to an account with 0% VAT
Default VAT code: ABR
All invoice lines for products created in TRAEDE will default into this group unless you manually manage them.
Create a “TRAEDE shipping” product group
A second group is required for shipping revenue (freight, handling fees, etc.).
Create a new product group (e.g., TRAEDE shipping).
Set all VAT zones exactly the same as in TRADE products.
Only if you want shipping revenue to be booked into another account should you change the account numbers — but the VAT codes must remain identical.
⚠️ Do not mix VAT codes across zones.
Example: Domestic shipping must use U25, the same as Domestic TRAEDE products.
Ensure existing product groups match the TRAEDE setup
If you already have products in e-conomic, they may be assigned to existing product groups.
All product groups containing products that will be invoiced from TRAEDE must use the same VAT setup as the TRAEDE products group.
Examples:
TRAEDE Products group must use the same account + VAT structure as the old product group
Any old product group must be aligned
Consistency ensures that TRAEDE invoices import cleanly into e-conomic.

Create a product group for domestic sales without VAT
The final requirement is to create one special product group where the domestic VAT zone uses 0% VAT.
Create a product group (name does not matter).
Domestic VAT zone → choose an account with 0% VAT.
Other zones can mirror the usual TRAEDE setup.
Summary of product groups you must have
| Product group | Purpose | VAT requirement |
|---|---|---|
| TRADE products | Standard products invoiced via TRAEDE | Must use U25/EUV/ABR |
| TRADE shipping | Shipping revenue | Must use U25/EUV/ABR |
| Domestic no-VAT group | Technical requirement | Domestic must be 0% VAT |
Once these groups are configured correctly, e-conomic will be ready to receive invoice data from TRAEDE.
B2B
All invoices to domestic customers and countries where you are not VAT registered: Fakturamodul invoice (invoice module invoice).
This is because it will give you the full benefit of the invoice module and differentiated VAT or accounting is not really necessary here.
All invoices to foreign countries where you are VAT registered: Kassekladde invoice (manual ledger invoice).
This is because when you are paying foreign VAT you probably need to have a separate VAT code for reporting purposes. And maybe even a separate account for the revenue. This is only possible through manual ledger invoices.
B2C
If you are below the 10,000 EUR limit for One Stop Shop VAT: Fakturamodul invoice (invoice module invoice)
This is because it will give you the full benefit of the invoice module and differentiated VAT or accounting is not really necessary here. If you want to split the revenue accounts for B2B and B2C (so you have one account for B2B and one for B2C) then we recommend you use Kassekladde invoices for B2C instead.
If you are above the 10,000 EUR limit for One Stop Shop VAT: Kassekladde invoice (manual ledger invoice)
This is because for One Stop Shop VAT you need to have 1 VAT code for every EU country. You should really use manual ledger invoices for this. We recommend you have 1 Account for EU Revenue, but a separate VAT code for every EU country (so 26 ex DK).
