How To Set Up Import SIE (SweBase)

SIE (Import/Export) is a standardized file format used in Sweden for importing and exporting accounting data between different software systems and the functionality is available in SweBase.

The advantage of setting up SIE Import (SweBase) in Spider is that it enables the user to leverage the Communication Methods available within Spider, such as S/Ftp, Ftp, Azure File Storage, Azure Blob Storage and SharePoint Online.

Important

To be able to import and process the SIE files in Spider it is required that the settings in SweBase such as setting up a SIE import code on the page SIE Import List with the mandatory fields has been done. This documentation provides steps to do this if it has not been done before.

Tip

If the Eagle app is installed it is possible to import and process the files across multiple companies. See the workflow for Processing SweBase File Imports with Eagle and Spider.
