About 4softerp and subscription
What is 4softerp?
4softerp is a multi-company financial ERP delivered in the cloud for businesses in Romania. It brings inventory, purchasing, sales, manufacturing, accounting, treasury and payroll into one platform. It is an affordable alternative to SAP Business One, Oracle NetSuite and Odoo.
Which modules does 4softerp include?
Inventory and stock, purchasing, sales and orders, manufacturing (BOM), primary and financial accounting, a group chart of accounts (RAS + IFRS), cost-centre budgets, fixed assets, treasury, payroll with REGES, ANAF e-Factura, SAF-T D406, tax filings, financial statements, bank reconciliation, reports/KPIs, multi-company consolidation and API integrations.
How does the subscription work?
You pay a cloud subscription, monthly or annual (annual gets a discount), with no per-module licences and no infrastructure costs. Legislative and product updates are included. A typical implementation takes 1–2 weeks.
Can I manage multiple companies in one account?
Yes. 4softerp is multi-company by design. You run several companies from a single account, with a group chart of accounts and consolidation. Each company keeps its data separate, while group reporting stays unified.
What payment methods do you support?
Card (Visa, Mastercard) or bank transfer against a pro-forma invoice. Choose monthly or annual billing. Auto-renewal keeps the service uninterrupted.
How long does implementation take?
Usually 1–2 weeks. We migrate balances and master data (partners, products, chart of accounts), configure the flows and connect e-Factura. You start with real data, not from scratch.
Fiscal compliance and ANAF
Is ANAF e-Factura natively integrated?
Yes. Issued invoices are sent automatically through e-Factura to the ANAF SPV, and received invoices are pulled from the SPV and posted to accounting automatically, with the matching deductible VAT.
Is SAF-T (D406) reporting automated?
Yes. 4softerp generates the SAF-T XML directly from your data, per the OPANAF no. 1073/2022 schema. Mandatory for large taxpayers since 2022, medium since 2023, small from January 1, 2025.
Does the system produce the tax returns (D300, D394, D390)?
Yes. Returns are built automatically from the accounting entries and can be exported for SPV submission. Data is validated before export, with inconsistencies flagged.
Can I close financial statements in 4softerp?
Yes. The annual financial statements are closed from the trial balance, with a RAS group chart of accounts and IFRS mapping for group reporting. Bank reconciliation and ledgers support the close.
How does automatic posting work on a goods receipt?
A goods receipt updates stock (average cost) and posts the related accounting entries automatically. Sales, purchasing and manufacturing post to the journal without double data entry.
Migration and integrations
Can I migrate from SAP Business One, NetSuite, Odoo or Sage?
Yes. We import opening balances, the chart of accounts, partners, products and stock from your current system (including from Excel). Our team assists the account mapping and validates the data before go-live.
Is there an API and webhooks?
Yes. 4softerp exposes an API and webhooks to connect the ERP to your online store, CRM, logistics apps or other systems. Events (new invoice, goods receipt, payment) can trigger external flows.
How does 4softerp connect to the rest of the 4b2b ecosystem?
It integrates natively with 4invoices.net (invoicing), 4notify.net (notifications to clients and partners) and 4hosting.net (hosting). One account, one invoice for the whole ecosystem.
Data, security and access
Where is my data hosted?
Data is hosted in the European Union, GDPR-compliant (own infrastructure, EU datacenter). Backups are automatic and every operation is tracked in an audit trail.
How is user access controlled?
Access is role-based: you define what each user can view and edit, by module and by company. The audit trail records who changed what and when.
Is there a referral programme?
Yes. Affiliate programme with a unique referral code. You earn recurring monthly commissions for every new customer who picks 4softerp on your recommendation, for the subscription lifetime.
