# r-conomic
Ruby wrapper for the [e-conomic](https://www.e-conomic.com/) SOAP API, that aims at making working with the API bearable.
E-conomic is a web-based accounting system. For their marketing speak, see [https://www.e-conomic.com/](https://www.e-conomic.com/).
More details about their API at [http://www.e-conomic.com/developer](http://www.e-conomic.com/developer).

## Usage example
```ruby
economic = Economic::Session.new
economic.connect_with_credentials(agreement_number = 123456, user_name = 'API', password = 'passw0rd')
# Or connect using a Private app ID and an access ID provided by the "Grant Access"
# As described here: https://api.e-conomic.com/secure/api1/economicwebservice.asmx?op=ConnectWithToken
economic = Economic::Session.new
economic.connect_with_token 'the_private_app_id', 'the_access_id_you_got_from_the_grant'
# Find a debtor:
debtor = economic.debtors.find(101)
# Creating a debtor:
debtor = economic.debtors.build
debtor.number = economic.debtors.next_available_number
debtor.debtor_group_handle = { :number => 1 }
debtor.name = 'Bob'
debtor.vat_zone = 'HomeCountry' # HomeCountry, EU, Abroad
debtor.currency_handle = { :code => 'DKK' }
debtor.price_group_handle = { :number => 1 }
debtor.is_accessible = true
debtor.ci_number = '12345678'
debtor.term_of_payment_handle = { :id => 1 }
debtor.vat_number = 12345678
debtor.ean = 9780471117094
debtor.layout_handle = { :id => 16 }
debtor.save
# Create invoice for debtor:
current_invoice = economic.current_invoices.build
current_invoice.date = Time.now
current_invoice.due_date = Time.now + 15
current_invoice.exchange_rate = 100
current_invoice.is_vat_included = false
invoice_line = Economic::CurrentInvoiceLine.new
invoice_line.description = 'Line on invoice'
invoice_line.unit_handle = { :number => 1 }
invoice_line.product_handle = { :number => 101 }
invoice_line.quantity = 12
invoice_line.unit_net_price = 19.95
current_invoice.lines << invoice_line
current_invoice.save
# You can delete it by doing:
# current_invoice.destroy
invoice = current_invoice.book
# Create a debtor payment
cash_book = economic.cash_books.all.last # Or find it by its number
# The reason debtor payments are done this way is because we don't want to specify the voucher number. If we build the cash book entry ourselves,
# without specifying the voucher number, the API will complain. This way, E-Conomics will assign a voucher number for us.
cash_book_entry = cash_book.entries.create_debtor_payment(:debtor_handle => debtor.handle, :contra_account_handle => { :number => '1920' })
cash_book_entry.amount = -123.45
cash_book_entry.currency_handle = { "Code" => "DKK" }
cash_book_entry.debtor_invoice_number = invoice.number
cash_book_entry.text = "Payment, invoice #{ invoice.number }"
cash_book_entry.save
cash_book.book
```
