Construction Hub v1.11 — Integration with Accounting Software
With Construction Hub v1.11, we are taking one of the most important steps in the system's evolution — a full bridge between day-to-day operations and accounting. Accountants no longer have to retype data into a separate program — the system itself builds the journal and exports it in the required format.
Why This Release Matters
In a typical construction company, processes run on two parallel tracks. On one side, the operations team works in the management system — creating contracts, acts, invoices, moving goods in and out of the warehouse. On the other side, the accountant opens a separate program and re-enters the same documents, this time in the language of accounting entries.
This duplicate work is expensive, slow, and a source of errors. Version 1.11 closes the gap.
Chart of Accounts in a Tree View
The first thing you will see in the new "Accounting → Setup" section is the chart of accounts arranged as a tree. The Bulgarian chart of accounts contains hundreds of entries grouped into classes and sub-accounts — a flat list turns them into chaos. The tree view restores the hierarchy where it belongs.
- Quick orientation — you can immediately see which classes contain assets, which contain expenses, and where equity sits
- "In use" markers — which accounts are already used in real documents and therefore cannot simply be deleted
- Filters by type and status — find the account you need with a few clicks instead of scrolling endlessly
The chart of accounts ships pre-loaded for Bulgaria — there is nothing to enter. You can extend it or disable accounts that are not relevant to your company.
VAT Rates — In a Dedicated Section
VAT in construction is not a trivial topic. There is the standard rate, the reduced rate for certain services, the zero rate for international transactions, and reverse charge between VAT-registered parties. Each of these rates needs to be tied to specific accounts.
In v1.11, we introduced a dedicated VAT rates section where you define:
- Which rates your company uses
- Which account receives charged VAT (on sales)
- Which account receives input VAT (on purchases)
- Status (active / inactive) with rate history
Later, when you issue an invoice with a given rate, the system knows exactly how to reflect it in the journal.
Mapping Rules — Without Writing Code
The most fragile part of any accounting integration is mapping operational documents to the correct accounts. An invoice for materials goes to one account, an invoice for rent to another, an advance payment to a third.
Previously, this required either manual selection on every document or a technical person to write the conditions. In v1.11, we offer a rules editor with ready-made conditions from dropdown menus:
- Condition by line item type (material, service, labour, machinery, energy, etc.)
- Condition by nomenclature group
- Condition by partner or partner category
- Condition by document type (invoice, expense, proforma)
You combine the conditions, point to the account the combination leads to, and you are done. No developer needed.
Automatic Journal
With a ready chart of accounts and rules, the system now builds the accounting journal automatically on every business event:
- Issued invoice → journal entry
- Recorded expense → journal entry
- Paid act → journal entry
- Stock movement → journal entry
- Inventory revision → journal entry
- Bank or cash transaction → journal entry
The journal appears as a new "Journal" entry in the side menu and can be reviewed document by document. If an operational document is changed, cancelled, or deleted, the corresponding entry is reversed and recreated — keeping both systems in sync.
Export to Microinvest and SAF-T BG
This is the final link in the chain — the journal needs to reach the accounting software or the NRA.
Construction Hub v1.11 exports in three formats:
- Generic format — a standard CSV readable by most Bulgarian accounting systems
- Microinvest — a direct import format for Microinvest, one of the most widely used accounting programs in the country
- SAF-T BG — the NRA-standardised format for electronic submission of accounting information during audits
The accountant simply downloads the file and imports it — no conversion, no manual fixes.
Initial Setup Wizard
For new users or new companies, we shipped a wizard in the user menu that walks you through the essentials:
- Company details (name, EIK, address, logo)
- First users and roles
- First projects
- Bank accounts and cash registers
The wizard shows what is already configured and what still needs to be done, so you do not miss key settings before getting to work.
Multi-Select from Nomenclature
A small but tangible improvement to everyday work. When adding line items to a quantity survey, offer, contract, act, price list, tender, or accounting document (invoice, proforma, expense, revenue), you can now pick several items from the nomenclature at once — with checkboxes and a "Select all on page" option — and add them in a single action.
Previously, you had to open the nomenclature, pick one item, add it, open the nomenclature again, and so on.
Public Contracts — Annexes with "Change" and "Remove"
When you share a contract with a client or subcontractor through a public link, the other party can now propose an annex with "Change" or "Remove" actions, as well as add a free-text line item without access to your nomenclature.
Change order requests from external parties are now more visible inside the system — they no longer get lost among other tasks.
Unified Detail Page Layout
Finally, a full visual refresh. The detail pages for acts, contracts, offers, tenders, quantity surveys, price lists, retention guarantees, documents, warehouses, and transactions all received the same summary bar at the top. The key facts — value, status, counterparty — sit in the same place everywhere.
For offers, we added collapsible sections for payment schedules, terms, and correspondence, along with delivery terms based on the international Incoterms 2020 standard.
For tenders, we now show a net / VAT / gross breakdown, the same as in offers, and we added clear "excluding VAT" markers on both the detail page and the forms.
For Other Countries
Version 1.11 includes two different types of functionality — some work everywhere, others are specific to Bulgaria.
Works regardless of country:
- The tree-view chart of accounts — define your own chart following the local standard
- VAT rates section — set up rates and accounts according to your country
- Mapping rules editor — the conditions are universal (line item type, partner, document type)
- Automatic journal creation on every business event
- Export in a generic CSV format — accepted by most accounting programs
Specific to Bulgaria:
- A pre-loaded chart of accounts following the Bulgarian standard
- SAF-T BG — the standardised format for submission to the Bulgarian tax authority (НАП)
- Direct format for Microinvest
In upcoming versions, we will add country-specific support for the other markets we operate in — formats for local tax authorities, integrations with popular accounting programs, ready-made charts of accounts following local standards. If your country is not in the list of supported formats, let us know — we prioritise the ones our users actually use.
Towards Full Accounting Automation
Version 1.11 is the first step in a broader direction. Our goal is for operations and accounting to live in a single system, without duplicate entry and without discrepancies. Phase 1.5 (journal export) lays the foundation. In the following versions, we will add more formats, more rules, and more integrations.
