Overview
Overview
SIE4 is the standard file format used by Swedish bookkeeping software to import accounting data. This module generates SIE4 files from your store's order, return, and payment data, so your finance team or accountant can import a balanced ledger into the bookkeeping system of their choice — without needing a direct API integration. It's the right fit when your accounting software doesn't have a native connector but supports the SIE4 standard.
Key benefits & how it works
You configure one or more SIE4 templates per store, defining the bookkeeping accounts, verification series, header fields, and how transactions should be split. The module then builds files that summarize sales, discounts, shipping, tax, payments, stock, and item cost across the chosen period — each posted against the correct account. Files can be exported manually with one click, or scheduled to auto-generate and email to a chosen recipient. Because SIE4 files must always balance to zero, the module automatically reconciles payments against sales, shipping, tax, and discounts, with a rounding account handling any discrepancies.
You can split accounts by region (Sweden separate + EU combined + Worldwide combined, or each EU country separately + Worldwide combined — required for OSS compliance since July 2021) and by tax (no division, one account per tax percentage, or one account per region per tax percentage). A built-in test export lets you preview the file before going live.
Exported datasets
Each SIE4 file includes accounts for Payments (one per payment plugin), Sales, Discounts, Shipping, Tax, Stock, Item Cost, and Rounding. Orders are posted as credits and returns as debits (with payments inverted), following standard double-entry bookkeeping logic.
