Import SIE into Bokio
Categories and articles
Transfer Vendion accounting records to Bokio using SIE. You need access to the correct company and permission to import accounting data.
Prepare in Vendion
Select the right restaurant and check Bokföring → Verifikat & export → Kontoplan, including Räkenskapsårets första månad. For a date range use Bokföring → Dagsavslut → Periodrapport → Från/Till → Visa period → Ladda ner SIE. Check that daily closings and vouchers exist for the period.
The export covers selected Vendion records. It does not replace purchase, payroll or complete bank accounting. Separate vouchers, such as expired gift cards, also need reconciliation and inclusion where relevant.
Import into Bokio
- Sign in to the correct company.
- Open Inställningar, then Bokföring under Import.
- Add the SIE file and select Kontrollera filer.
- Review company details and warnings. Confirm only when correct.
- Check the completed import under Inställningar → Bokföring.
Follow Bokio’s current import guide. It also explains errors involving cost centres, voucher series or financial years. Check compatibility if you use Vendion cost centres.
VAT filing
SIE import records Vendion’s accounting data. Review the company’s complete books and VAT settings before preparing a return. A successful import does not mean every filing amount is ready.
Check after import
Compare voucher dates, record counts, net revenue, VAT by rate and payment accounts with Vendion for the same period. Account numbers follow your settings; revenue need not all use 3001–3003 if you configured product group accounts.
Separate card receivables from bank payouts: fees and settlement dates affect reconciliation. Check gift cards, returns and invoice purchases separately where present.
Keep the original file and record what was imported. Check previous imports before retrying an interrupted import. If duplicates occurred, follow the bookkeeping program’s current correction procedure with your accountant.
If something does not match
- Wrong company or year: stop and check organisation numbers and financial years in both systems.
- Missing account: compare Vendion’s chart with the receiving chart and select the correct account before completing import.
- Unbalanced voucher or unexpected amount: save the error message and voucher number and investigate with support or your accountant.
- Closed period: ask the person responsible for accounting to assess the correction and any impact on VAT returns already filed.
When contacting Vendion support, include the restaurant name, period and affected vouchers.
