    Export SIE from Vendion – Step by Step

    Export a SIE file to give your accountant the period's created vouchers or import them into your accounting program. Use Periodrapport (Period report) when you need a specific date range.

    Before exporting

    • Check that the correct restaurant and company are selected.
    • Review Admin → Bokföring → Verifikat & export → Kontoplan. This also contains Räkenskapsårets första månad (First month of the financial year) and Verifikatserie (Voucher series).
    • Check the sales days' Z-reports under Bokföring → Dagsavslut → X/Z-rapporter and verify that accounting vouchers exist.
    • Agree the period with your accountant and establish what has already been imported or transferred through Fortnox.

    Exporting does not create missing day-end reports or vouchers. It does not submit a VAT return to the Tax Agency.

    Step 1: Open the period report

    1. Select Admin → Bokföring (Accounting).
    2. Open Dagsavslut (Day-end).
    3. Select Periodrapport (Period report).

    Step 2: Set the dates

    1. Fill in Från and Till (From/To).
    2. Click Visa period (Show period).
    3. Check the displayed number and range of Z-reports.
    4. Reconcile sales, payment methods and VAT in the summary.

    For a monthly file, enter the month's first and last dates. For a quarter or financial year, enter its start and end dates. The summary uses completed reports, not open tabs.

    If the page warns of a difference between the payment-method breakdown and Z-reports, investigate before using the records. Read the message and contact support if needed.

    Step 3: Download SIE

    Click Ladda ner SIE (Download SIE) below the summary. The file downloads to your computer.

    It contains created vouchers dated within the selected interval, including posted card settlement vouchers where available. A sale and the later card payout can therefore belong to different periods.

    Other available formats are:

    ButtonPurpose
    Ladda ner PDFReadable summary to review or share
    Ladda ner ExcelSpreadsheet reconciliation
    Ladda ner CSVTabular data for further processing
    Ladda ner SIEImporting accounting vouchers

    PDF, Excel and CSV do not replace SIE when the accountant needs importable vouchers.

    Step 4: Send or import

    Keep the file with a note of the restaurant, period and export date. Send it to your accountant or follow your accounting program's import guide.

    Before importing, check:

    • the company and financial year,
    • that the accounts exist in the receiving program,
    • that voucher debits and credits balance,
    • that the same vouchers have not already been imported or transferred by the direct integration.

    Downloading again does not mean that the file contains only new vouchers. Do not import the same records twice.

    Export SIE on the Vouchers tab

    Verifikat & export → Verifikat also has an Exportera SIE button. It does not open a period selector. It exports every voucher in the current financial year and adds that year's card settlements. The dates the file covers are shown next to the button. The financial year follows Räkenskapsårets första månad (First month of the financial year) in the chart of accounts; if it is not set, the calendar year applies.

    Use Dagsavslut → Periodrapport for a specific date interval, such as a month or an earlier year. If you have already imported monthly files, the year file contains the same vouchers again.

    Open a voucher row to inspect its account, description, debit and credit. The list has pagination when many vouchers exist. Pagination does not limit what is exported.

    If records are missing or incorrect

    No Z-reports in the period

    Check the dates and restaurant. The report uses completed day-end reports. Correct Från/Till and click Visa period again.

    No vouchers in the period

    Check the Z-report history. A report without a voucher offers Skapa verifikat (Create voucher). Check the result in the voucher list before exporting again.

    Incorrect account in an older voucher

    Update the chart for future records and agree the correction of earlier records with your accountant. A new export does not change the saved voucher.

    The accounting program rejects the file

    Keep the error message and check the financial year, accounts and whether the file was already imported. Contact support if the problem concerns Vendion's records. Do not alter amounts in the file merely to make the import succeed.

    A practical routine

    Reconcile day-end reports regularly. At the agreed reporting interval, download the period report and SIE, verify completeness and confirm that your accountant imported them successfully. A connected Fortnox integration can transfer Z-vouchers automatically; coordinate it with any file imports.

    This feature is part of Vendion POS.
