How to Set Up a Whitevision Account
Quick Summary
Setting up an account with Whitevision B.V. Declaraties doesn’t have to eat up a week of your time. This guide walks through the full process of onboarding your organization onto Whitevision’s AI-driven expense claims platform, from gathering the right paperwork to connecting the software to your existing accounting system. Whether you manage finance for a growing company or you’re adding a new department to an account that already exists, this article explains what to prepare, how to complete registration, and how to activate the account so your team can start submitting Declaraties (expense claims) within days rather than weeks.
What Is Whitevision B.V. Declaraties?
Whitevision B.V. Declaraties is the expense claims module inside Whitevision’s broader suite of AI-powered document processing tools. Whitevision built its reputation on automating financial administration, and the Declaraties module extends that automation to employee expense reports, mileage claims, and reimbursable receipts. Instead of asking employees to fill out spreadsheets, the platform lets them photograph a receipt with a smartphone, and Whitevision’s recognition engine reads the amount, date, and vendor automatically. As a result, approvers spend less time correcting manual entries, and finance teams close expense periods faster.
Because Declaraties integrates with common ERP and accounting packages, most organizations treat account setup as a two-part project: first, they provision the account itself, and then they connect it to the systems that already store vendor and cost-center data. The sections below separate these two phases so you can tackle them in order.
What Do You Need Before Creating a Whitevision Account?
Before requesting access, gather a short list of details. Preparing this information in advance shortens the onboarding conversation and cuts down on back-and-forth with the implementation team.
| Item | Why You Need It |
| Company KvK (Chamber of Commerce) number | Confirms the legal entity for billing and contracts |
| Primary administrator’s name and email | Becomes the first account owner |
| List of departments or cost centers | Structures approval routing |
| Name of your existing accounting or ERP software | Determines which integration package applies |
| Expected number of users | Affects the licensing tier and rollout plan |
It also helps to appoint one internal owner who manages the account throughout setup. Since Whitevision configuration touches approval hierarchies and financial coding, this person usually comes from finance or HR operations rather than IT alone.
Which Documents Should Finance Teams Prepare?
Finance teams should also draft a short policy summary describing reimbursement rules: mileage rates, per diem limits, and which expense categories require receipts. Whitevision B.V. Declaraties uses these rules to configure automatic validation, so writing them down before the kickoff call prevents delays later in the process.
How Do You Request Access to Whitevision B.V. Declaraties?
Once you’ve gathered the groundwork above, reach out to Whitevision directly or through an implementation partner such as Solution for Guru. Submitting a request usually triggers a short discovery call, during which a Whitevision representative confirms your ERP compatibility and proposes a licensing tier.
During this call, describe your current expense workflow, because Whitevision consultants use these details to recommend a rollout timeline. Smaller organizations with a single approval layer can often go live within one to two weeks, while larger, multi-entity businesses with several cost centers may need three to four weeks for a full deployment. Bring a colleague from IT to this conversation as well, since ERP compatibility questions often come up before the registration form even goes out, and having an answer ready keeps the call short and productive.
How Do You Complete the Whitevision Registration Form?
After the discovery call, Whitevision sends a registration form to the nominated administrator. Filling it out accurately the first time avoids repeated verification requests. The breakdown below shows what the form typically asks for.
What Information Goes Into the Account Profile Section?
The account profile section asks for the legal company name, VAT number, billing address, and the administrator’s contact details. Whitevision uses this information to generate the master account and issue the subscription invoice.
What Information Goes Into the User Roles Section?
The user roles section lets the administrator define who submits expense claims, who approves them, and who processes reimbursements in finance. Because Declaraties supports multi-level approval, map out the hierarchy on paper first: submitter, first approver, and final finance sign-off. You then mirror this structure inside the platform once the account exists.
What User Roles and Permission Levels Does Whitevision Support?
Before you invite your first batch of users, it helps to understand the permission levels Whitevision Declaraties typically offers. Matching each employee to the right role from day one saves you from reassigning permissions later.
| Role | Typical Permissions |
| Employee | Submits receipts and mileage claims, tracks claim status |
| Approver | Reviews and approves or rejects claims within their department |
| Finance administrator | Processes approved claims for payment and manages exports to the ERP |
| Account administrator | Manages users, categories, approval workflows, and integrations |
Most organizations start with these four roles and adjust them as the rollout matures. Larger companies sometimes add a regional administrator layer so that separate business units can manage their own categories and thresholds without affecting the rest of the account.
How Do You Verify and Activate Your Account?
After you submit the registration form, Whitevision sends a verification email to the administrator’s inbox. Clicking the confirmation link activates the account and unlocks the setup dashboard. From there, the administrator sets a secure password and, where available, turns on two-factor authentication for extra protection.
Once verification finishes, the dashboard walks the administrator through three initial tasks: adding the company logo and branding, setting the default currency and language, and inviting the first batch of users by email. Each invited user receives a link to create their own login, so the administrator never has to set individual passwords manually.
How Long Does Verification Usually Take?
Verification emails typically arrive within minutes, though busy corporate spam filters occasionally delay delivery. If the email hasn’t shown up after fifteen minutes, check the spam or quarantine folder first; contacting Whitevision support resolves the rest.
How Do You Configure Your Whitevision Profile Settings?
With the account active, configuration moves from the company level down to individual policy details. This stage determines how smoothly Declaraties handles everyday expense submissions.
How Do You Set Up Expense Categories?
Add expense categories such as travel, meals, accommodation, and office supplies first, since every submitted receipt needs one. Match these categories to your existing general ledger codes so approved claims post directly into the accounting system without manual recoding.
How Do You Configure Approval Workflows?
Build approval workflows using the hierarchy you gathered earlier. A typical configuration routes claims under a set amount to a single manager, while larger claims require a second sign-off from finance. Tiered thresholds like this keep low-value claims moving quickly while still applying scrutiny to bigger reimbursements.
How Do You Apply Mileage and Per Diem Rates?
Finally, load the mileage and per diem rates you gathered during preparation so the system calculates reimbursements automatically without further manual input.
How Do You Set Up Notification Preferences?
Configure notifications last, since they depend on the approval workflow you just built. Set approvers to receive an email or push alert whenever a claim lands in their queue, and set submitters to receive a notification once their claim moves to approved, rejected, or paid. Getting these alerts right early on keeps claims from sitting untouched in someone’s queue and helps your team trust the new process from the first submission cycle.
How Do You Connect Whitevision to Your Accounting or ERP System?
Integration often determines how much time the account setup actually saves. Whitevision Declaraties connects with a range of accounting and ERP platforms, and the exact steps depend on which system your company already runs.
| Integration Type | What Happens |
| Direct API connection | Your chart of accounts and cost centers sync automatically |
| File-based export | Approved claims export daily in a format your ERP can import |
| Manual entry with audit trail | Works well for smaller organizations without integration support |
Most mid-sized and larger organizations choose the direct API connection because it removes duplicate data entry entirely. Smaller teams sometimes start with file-based exports and upgrade to a full integration once transaction volume grows.
Who Should Handle the Integration Step?
Because integration touches financial data, your internal finance or IT contact should handle this step jointly with a Whitevision or partner consultant. Solution for Guru, a CRM and software implementation consultancy, frequently supports this stage for clients who want a specialist to map fields between Whitevision B.V. Declaraties and their existing accounting software, rather than handling the technical mapping in-house.
How Do You Install the Whitevision Mobile App?
Employees typically interact with Declaraties mainly through the mobile app rather than a desktop browser. After account activation, each invited user downloads the app from the relevant app store and signs in using the credentials they created during registration.
Once users log in, the app asks for camera access so they can photograph receipts and submit them immediately. A short walkthrough shows first-time users how to snap a receipt, assign it to a category, and add a note before sending it for approval.
How Do You Troubleshoot Common Setup Issues?
A handful of setup issues come up repeatedly during onboarding, and most have straightforward fixes.
- Invitation emails not received: Check spam folders first, then confirm the email address entered during setup was correct.
- Approval routing errors: Revisit the hierarchy you mapped out earlier, since a missing approver in the chain blocks claims.
- Integration mismatches: Confirm that cost-center codes in Whitevision match exactly what the accounting system expects, since even small formatting differences can cause failed syncs.
- Mobile app login failures: Reset the password from the login screen and clear the app cache if the issue persists.
Working through this list before contacting support resolves most onboarding hiccups without escalation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most single-entity organizations complete setup within one to two weeks, while larger businesses with multiple cost centers or complex ERP integrations may need three to four weeks.
Yes. Smaller organizations can start with manual or file-based exports and move to a full API integration once transaction volume justifies it.
A finance or HR operations representative typically leads the process, since account configuration involves approval hierarchies and expense policy rules that IT alone usually doesn’t manage.
