SIE (short for "Standard Import och Export"), is a Swedish, standardised file format designed to simplify the transfer of financial information. It can be used for exchanging data between different programs, i.e. between an ERP system and a tax declaration program or between programs from different software providers. It is developed and maintained by the SIE group. The SIE format standard is coordinated with the BAS chart of accounts and Skatteverket's SRU codes.
There are 4 types of SIE files.
- Type 1 (SIE1): Annual balances. The file format contains the year's opening and closing balances for all accounts in the chart of accounts. This SIE format is intended primarily for transfer to tax programs.
- Type 2 (SIE2): Periodic balances, contains in addition to all basic data from type 1 also monthly balance changes for all accounts.
- Type 3 (SIE3): Object balances. The file format is identical to type 2, but balances are also available at dimension/object level, such as cost centres and projects.
- Type 4 (SIE4): Transactions. Type 4 is divided into two subtypes. One for exporting transactions from accounting programs and one for importing transactions into accounting programs.

Financial year

For private individual companies, you create a year by selecting New financial year. For other company types, the financial years are created automatically when you import the accounting data.
The financial year you are modifying cannot contain any transactions. Also, it cannot be locked, ongoing or paused.
There is no built-in function to change the accounting year in Visma Skatt & Bokslut Pro. Since all the accounting data used comes from Visma eEkonomi, the change of financial year must be done from there.
