Export transactions in SIE format

The SIE format is a standardised Swedish accounting export file format designed to simplify data exchange between different accounting systems.

Admins and Finance users can configure the export template by mapping the custom accounting fields in Cledara to SIE columns.

Here are the step-by-step guides on how to set up and export your SIE exports:

Map custom accounting fields to SIE columns

1. Head to Accounting > Accounting records, create custom accounting fields and record entries in Cledara:

   

   You will need custom fields for the following columns:  

   • Expense account
   • Asset account
   • Tax rate
   • Cost centre
2. Head to Accounting > Application Mapping. Click Configure fields to add the following columns:
   • Expense account, with Record type: Expense account
   • Asset account, with Record type: Asset account
   • Tax codes debit, with Record type: Tax rate (recommended to handle reverse-charge)
   • Tax codes credit, with Record type: Tax rate (recommended to handle reverse-charge)
   • Cost centre, with Record type: Cost centre

3. To customise the expense codes for each vendor, assign the appropriate Account codes, Tax codes debit, and Tax code credit values to each application. All transactions under the application will use the customised values in the export:

   

4. Head to Settings > Integrations > Accounting > Accounting export templates, and click Set up:

   

5. Select the SIE template.
6. The default export currency is EUR. To export in a different currency, select it from the dropdown. Transaction amounts will be converted from EUR using the exchange rate on the transaction date.

7. Map your custom accounting fields to the corresponding SIE columns. Check Define reverse-charge VATs if you are handling reverse-charges:

   

   If you use Cledara's Invoice Manager to track VAT and need to calculate claimable VAT separately from the SIE export tax codes, you can create a third tax field (i.e. VAT Tax rate) and select it as your Tax rate field in the export configuration.

8. Fill in the default values for these columns. These defaults will apply unless specific values are customised for individual applications.

Export transactions in SIE format

Once you’ve completed the configuration, exporting transactions in the SIE format is simple:

1. Head to the Transactions tab.
2. Click Filter results > Export > to SIE (Fortnox).
3. Select the desired timeframe for the transactions.
4. Click Export to generate the file.
