Manual bookkeeping

What it connects​

Manual bookkeeping is for workspaces that start from a SIE-4 export instead of a live accounting-system connection.

What Igdrasil imports​

  • Reads a SIE-4 file from another accounting system.
  • Previews accounts, opening balances, vouchers, and import warnings.
  • Applies the reviewed import plan after conflicts are resolved.

Requirements​

Export a SIE-4 file from the previous accounting system. Confirm the company, fiscal year, and opening-balance expectations before importing.

Setup steps​

  1. Open Integrations from the Workspace group.
  2. Select Manual bookkeeping.
  3. Upload the SIE-4 file.
  4. Review the import preview and warnings.
  5. Apply the import only after the preview matches the expected accounting data.

First checks​

Open Chart of Accounts, Bookkeeping, and Reports to confirm that accounts, balances, and vouchers look correct before adding new work.

Daily use​

Manual bookkeeping is usually an onboarding or migration path. After import, continue day-to-day review in Bookkeeping and connect live sources when needed.

Troubleshooting​

If the import is blocked, resolve duplicate accounts, locked periods, accepted opening balances, or unsafe voucher conflicts before trying again.

Data handling​

The uploaded SIE file becomes source evidence for the import. Keep the original export available until the migration has been reviewed.
