AFAS: Get shipments from AFAS
Get shipments with track and trace from AFAS and send them to your webshop or marketplace.
Updated November 9, 2026
This flow gets shipments from AFAS, with the track and trace information and the reference, and sends them to an application that supports shipments, such as a webshop or marketplace.
How it works
AFAS has no separate shipment module. With the Shipment Type setting, you choose how APIcenter finds shipments:
- DeliveryNote (default): APIcenter gets the delivery notes from AFAS, with their lines.
- OrderUpdates: APIcenter watches changes to sales orders and checks whether a track and trace code or another identifier has been filled in. When an order is shipped from AFAS, APIcenter treats the order data as a shipment.
Further:
- The order number is leading: APIcenter uses it to link the shipment to the order.
- APIcenter gets the shipments that changed since the last run, based on the modification date.
- APIcenter remembers which shipments it has already processed, so each shipment is sent once.
What you need first
- The target application must support shipments.
- The order number in AFAS must match the order in the target application.
- The connector set is imported and the GetConnectors are added to the App connector. See Connect AFAS to APIcenter.
Tips
- No track and trace in the target system? Check that the track and trace code is filled in in AFAS.
- Do you not create delivery notes in AFAS? Then choose OrderUpdates.

Run behaviourRun at specific times
Run behaviourThe date and time from which the flow retrieves records from AFAS, based on their modification date: for example articles, debtors, price lists, stock, payments or shipments that changed after this moment. APIcenter moves this date forward automatically after each run, so the next run continues where the last one stopped. Set it back in time to send records again, for example all stock after a stock count, because AFAS does not register a stock correction as a change. For AFAS the default is 1 January 2025.

Shipment SettingsDetermines where the Get Shipment flow finds shipments in AFAS. AFAS has no separate shipment module, so APIcenter uses one of these sources:
- DeliveryNote (default): the delivery notes (pakbonnen) in AFAS.
- OrderUpdates: changes to sales orders, such as a track and trace code that was filled in.
A shipment that was already processed is not sent again.
