Export/Import

In this procedure you can export and import accounting data.

In Sweden this takes place using SIE files (types 4E and 4I). Where SIE-type 4E – Transactions contains complete information on the chart of accounts, balances and voucher records. This file format can be used to export the journal postings for the year to a program for transaction analysis. SIE-type 4I – Transactions only contain voucher records. The file format is used when a preliminary system, for example, a payroll or invoicing program, is to generate an accounting order to be loaded into the accounting program.

The fields available in the procedure depends on which type of operation has been selected in the Type field.

Accounting data refers to for example vouchers, balances, opening balances, chart of accounts, budgets, and forecasts.

For SIE export the procedure uses default settings configured in the Settings for export/import procedure.

Export of SAF-T (Standard Audit File - Tax) is a standard format for export of different types of bookkeeping transactions in XML format, and this is available as an option.

Work flow in the procedure

First you should make sure that you are working in the correct accounting year. Then you select which operation to perform: Export or Import. You then configure different settings for the export or import. You execute an export or import by using the buttons Export or Import on the toolbar in the procedure. These buttons become activated when a correct file path/file name has been entered. When you make an import, the Import rules window opens where you can decide how different items should be imported to the system. After you have finished this step and clicked on Import, a dialog is displayed showing the result of the import.
