Introduction
This article provides an overview of how revenue is synchronized from TRAEDE to e-conomic.
Revenue synchronization can vary depending on whether you sell B2B, B2C, or both, and it is important to understand the differences so that invoices and accounting entries are registered correctly.
This lesson introduces the overall concepts and explains the difference between revenue and cost of goods sold before you continue to the next articles.
Most brands on Traede will want to synchronize all their sales and returns from Traede to e-conomic.
This ensures that the correct revenue is registered in e-conomic. Sales always come in the form of an invoice or a credit note. What this means is that whenever an invoice or credit note is booked in Traede, then we will synchronize and exact copy of the invoice or credit note to e-conomic. In effect, e-conomic becomes a “backup” of everything made in Traede that your accountants and bookkeepers can use for making your accounting.
Revenue vs Costs
It’s important to know that when we synchronize an invoice or credit note to e-conomic it will NOT include costs. That is because e-conomic does not support and outside system dictating the cost of an invoice or credit note. This means your inventory will not be regulated by the invoices and credit notes sent to e-conomic. Traede solves this by sending costs separately. More about this in the articles about “Inventory”. For now, the take away point here is that Invoices and Credit Notes will only contain “revenue”.
How TRAEDE sends revenue to e-conomic
In TRAEDE, revenue refers to invoices and credit notes.
When these are booked in TRAEDE, they are synchronized to e-conomic.
In e-conomic, you will find these synchronized documents under:
Fakturaarkiv (Invoice archive) → factual invoices & credit notes
Kassekladde (Cash journals) → CASA/GL entries (for certain invoice types)
There are two types of invoices in e-conomic that TRAEDE can generate:
Faktura module invoices (traditional invoices)
Kassekladde (CASA GL) invoices
Each type will be explained in detail in the next article.
Revenue vs. cost of goods sold
When TRAEDE sends an invoice to e-conomic, it contains only the revenue.
No cost is included in the invoice.
Example:
If an invoice totals 983.20 DKK, that full amount is transferred as revenue.
But your products also have cost prices, and these must be accounted for.
Therefore, TRAEDE sends cost of goods sold (COGS) separately to e-conomic through:
CASA GL entries
Booked with accounts related to cost of goods sold (e.g., “Vareforbrug” / “Lagerforbrug”)
This ensures that:
Revenue is registered correctly
Product costs are registered separately
Your margin and inventory valuation remain accurate
COGS synchronization is covered fully in the Inventory section of this course.
Summary
TRAEDE sends revenue (invoices & credit notes) directly to e-conomic.
Costs (COGS) are synchronized separately.
Understanding this separation is important before configuring your revenue setup.
