The reason
Why connect Robaws to DigiData?
The Robaws connector synchronizes more than 30 supported entities, including projects, quotes, items, supplier prices, invoices, payments, planning and personnel data. OData and CSV make these source records available for reporting. Accounting data from another system is not included and must be added through a separate connector before combining sources in Power BI.
Connecting Robaws to Power BI in short
The Robaws connector is available and synchronizes supported tables such as Projects and Quotations, Articles and Article Groups, Suppliers and Supplier Prices and Invoices and Credit Notes. DigiData offers these source records via OData for Power BI and Excel and via CSV for separate exports. The connector only supplies the entities listed on this page; source permissions, the source API, and your sync schedule determine which records and updates are available. You set up relationships, calculations and dashboards in the reporting tool.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about the Robaws integration
How do I connect Robaws to Power BI?
With DigiData you automatically synchronize Robaws data to an OData feed. In Power BI Desktop, choose 'Get Data', select OData feed and paste the DigiData URL. You can then load, combine and refresh the tables without building a Robaws API connection yourself.
How often is Robaws data refreshed?
DigiData synchronizes Robaws according to your integration schedule. The exact frequency and availability of new records depend on your settings and the source API.
What does the Robaws connection cost?
DigiData charges platform costs plus an amount per active integration. There are no start-up costs and you can test for 14 days for free. View the current price on the prices page.
How do I build a Robaws project report?
Start with projects, time registrations, purchase invoices and sales invoices. Check available project references before joining tables. Fictional example: €100,000 project revenue less €25,000 materials, €27,000 labor and €18,000 subcontracting gives €30,000 profit, or 30%. Define cost rates and allocation in your report model, avoiding double counting materials and purchase invoices.
Which Robaws data is synchronized?
DigiData synchronizes more than 30 entities from Robaws, including projects, articles, invoices, employees, leave and financial data.
Is Robaws suitable for large volumes of data?
Yes, DigiData uses pagination and incremental sync to efficiently process large Robaws administrations.
Do I need the Robaws API to get Robaws into Power BI?
You do not need to program against the Robaws API yourself. Create an API key in Robaws and enter the access key and secret in DigiData once. DigiData retrieves the data through the Robaws API, handles pagination and incremental synchronization and provides the result as an OData feed and CSV for Power BI and Excel.
