Ask your 1C:Enterprise database in plain words — get figures that match its reports
Munin connects your 1C:Enterprise database to the AI agent you already use. The agent reads data with your access rights and explains where every figure comes from.

How did the week go?
Opened 1C:Enterprise reports this week and last week
- Sales
- Gross profit
- Cash
Revenue for the week is UAH 1,248,600, up 9% on last week. Margin fell from 27.4% to 24.1%: a large shipment went out on Tuesday at an 18% discount.
| Metric | This week | Last week | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue, UAH | 1,248,600 | 1,145,300 | +9.0% |
| Gross margin | 24.1% | 27.4% | -3.3 pp |
| Cash at week end, UAH | 812,400 | 905,700 | -10.3% |
The week is not closed yet: the cost of the latest shipments is provisional, so the margin may change.

What you can ask
Ask the way you would ask your finance manager
Nine typical questions from business owners on 1C:Enterprise. The agent finds the right reports and data, answers with figures and explains where they come from.
1C:Enterprise is a low-code business platform behind ERP and accounting systems used by over 1.5 million companies.
Summary
Sum up last month and compare it with the month before.
Revenue UAH 4,820,000 (+6%), gross profit UAH 1,130,000, margin 23.4%. 2,060 sales, average receipt UAH 2,340. Returns, 3% of revenue, are on a separate line.
Cash
How much cash is in our accounts and cash desks now, and where did it go in September?
Today UAH 2,136,400 and USD 18,200, broken down by cash desk and account, with company and currency. In September the largest outflow was stock purchases (62%), then rent and payroll.
Sales and margin
Were there any loss-making sales this week?
Yes, 4 sales below cost, minus UAH 23,800 in total. Three of them were made by one sales manager in one product group. Here are the documents.
Stock
What has not moved for over 60 days, and what should we reorder?
214 items have had no sales for over 60 days, UAH 1.3 million at cost. Another 12 items will run out in less than a week at the current sales rate.
Serial numbers
Find the device whose IMEI ends in 4417: where is it, and who bought it?
Received on 3 March from a supplier for UAH 18,900, sold on 12 April to a customer on a sales invoice. No returns; the full movement history is in the answer.
Receivables and payables
Who has owed us money for over 30 days?
Seven customers, UAH 486,000 in total. The largest debt is UAH 142,000, 47 days overdue. The list is sorted by amount, with the date each debt started.
Single tax
How much of the single tax limit has each FOP used?
FOP 1 has used 71% of the annual limit, FOP 2 38%, FOP 3 12%. At the current pace FOP 1 will reach the limit in about two months.
A FOP is a Ukrainian sole proprietor registration.
The simplified single tax is a Ukrainian small-business tax regime with an annual income limit.
Investigations
Why is the shop's cash desk UAH 3,000 short this evening?
Here are all cash transactions for the day with time and author. At 18:40, UAH 3,000 was paid out as a refund, but there is no customer return document. Check that transaction first.
For the parent company
Prepare sales, stock and receivables for the quarter in the group currency for the parent company.
Three tables for the quarter in euros, converted at the 1C:Enterprise rate at the end of each month. The rate and date are shown under each table.
Figures in the answers are illustrative.
Where the figures come from
Figures you can trust
The agent first looks for a standard 1C:Enterprise report, the same one you open. It writes a custom read-only query only when no ready report exists, and says so in the answer.
Standard reports first
The agent runs the report with the same parameters and filters as the 1C:Enterprise report form, so you can check every figure against the report itself.
Period, filters, source
Every answer names the period, the filters and the report or register a figure comes from.
Caveats without asking
Knowledge of accounting traps arrives with the data, so the agent warns you itself about an open month, provisional cost, returns or internal transfers.
Restricted rights are flagged
If your rights hide some rows, the answer says so, and the agent does not present a partial total as the full one.
Under every answer
- Source
- standard report “Gross profit”
- Period
- 1–30 Sep
- Filters
- excluding internal transfers
September is not closed yet: cost is provisional, so the margin may change.
Access rights
The agent sees no more than you do
There is no separate technical user with broad rights. The agent works on behalf of the 1C:Enterprise user who connected it, and the platform itself enforces that user's rights.
Access only with a dedicated role. Only users who were given the “Work with AI” role by the person in charge of the database can connect an agent.
You set the restriction profile. In the “Connect AI” form you can hide objects and fields such as tax IDs or phone numbers, keep only certain companies or warehouses, and cap the number of rows. Presets such as “No personal data” are ready to use.
Your password never leaves the database. The agent signs in through a confirmation inside your 1C:Enterprise. Neither the agent nor Munin ever sees your password.
Switched off in one move. You revoke a connection in the form. A user with full rights turns AI off for the whole database with one checkbox. A user blocked in 1C:Enterprise loses agent access.
Connecting
Five steps, then it runs without you
All settings live in your 1C:Enterprise database; there is no separate web account.
Hosting provider or administrator
Installs the Munin extension
The main configuration stays unchanged. After installation the database registers with Munin by itself.
Person in charge of the database
Grants the “Work with AI” role
To the users who are allowed to work with the agent.
User
Opens the “Connect AI” form
Sets their own restrictions and copies the database address for the agent.
User
Adds Munin in the agent and confirms in 1C:Enterprise
The agent opens the Munin sign-in page with a code. You enter the code in the 1C:Enterprise form, see who is asking for access and click “Allow”.

Today
The agent only reads data
There are no write tools. Munin and the extension in the database both reject any request that changes data, so the agent changes nothing even if asked to.
What the agent does
- Runs standard reports
- Finds documents, counterparties and products
- Runs read-only queries when no report fits
- Explains every figure
What the agent does not do
- Create or edit documents
- Post documents
- Read the database bypassing 1C:Enterprise and its rights
Writing will come later: narrow tools for specific documents, with you confirming every action.

FAQ
Questions people usually ask
Will it slow down our accountants and managers?
While no one is asking, the database keeps one quiet connection with no sessions and no background jobs. Every agent call has a time and row limit, and the database runs no more than one heavy request at a time.
Where does our data go?
Data is stored in your 1C:Enterprise database. Munin passes to the agent only what it read for the answer and keeps data no longer than it takes to deliver the answer; the call log holds no data values. What the agent reads is seen by the model of the AI provider you chose, like anything else you write to it. That is why the restriction profile matters: whatever it hides never reaches the model.
Can the agent break anything in the database?
No. There are no write tools, and Munin and the extension in the database both reject any request that changes data. Writing will come later, and you will confirm every action.
Does the agent use a 1C:Enterprise licence?
Yes. While the agent works, the database opens a session in your name, and it takes a licence like a normal sign-in. After a few minutes without requests the session closes by itself.
Why does the first answer sometimes take a few seconds?
After a pause the database first opens your session, which takes a few seconds. Later answers come faster.
What does our database need?
Platform 8.3.27 or later and a configuration on managed forms with the Standard Subsystems Library 3.1 or later. Older configurations on ordinary forms are not supported. Your hosting provider or administrator installs the extension; the main configuration stays unchanged.
Our users have full rights. Is that a problem?
No, they can connect an agent too. In that case the restriction profile holds the agent back, for example “No personal data”. We recommend, but do not require, a separate 1C user with the rights needed for AI work.
Which AI agents can connect?
Claude (web, Desktop, Code), ChatGPT and your own MCP-capable agents. Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 only, confirmed in 1C:Enterprise; there are no static access keys.
We have two databases, management and accounting. Will the agent see both?
Yes, if you connect both. Each database is a separate connection in the agent with its own sign-in and rights, and every answer shows which database a figure comes from.
Do we need to open ports or set up a VPN?
No. The database opens an outbound secure connection to Munin itself, so nothing on the 1C:Enterprise server is exposed. Web publishing of the database is not needed either.
