New features in version 22.0

Direct transfer of tax cards

We are launching a direct tax card transfer service that can be used to request the details of tax cards valid from February 1.

  • You can now use Procountor to request the tax card details of employees directly from the Finnish Tax Administration. You can use the direct transfer function to request standard tax cards valid from February 1.

  • Direct transfer requests can be made for persons with an SSN and account number registered in the person register, provided that the employee’s mandatory data fields have been completed.

  • When the completed direct transfer request is received from the Finnish Tax Administration, the user will be able to update the tax card details of the selected employees. The A tax card will be updated in the user information by default, but this can be manually changed to the B option at a later date if so requested by the employee.

  • Direct transfer cannot be used to request a revised tax card. If an employee wishes to use a revised tax card, the employee must order the tax card him- or herself.

Budget report graph

The option to compare the income statement and balance sheet with a budget uploaded into the environment has been added to Management reporting.

Travel and expense invoice API

The travel and expense invoice API enables the processing of travel and expense invoices through Procountor’s new REST interface. The API can be used to import travel invoice information from third-party systems or export the information to such systems.

Attachment processing update for purchase invoices

Purchase invoices are the first receipt type to be updated with the new attachment processing flow. Previously, users had to inspect the attachments by clicking a button that opened the attachment processing view. Now, we have added a functionality for previewing the invoice and examining its attachments. The functionality is opened/closed from the top right corner of the invoice view. This makes browsing purchase invoice attachments significantly easier, and the view also allows users to add attachments from the computer or Procountor’s Documents or Receipts view.

Changing the paydays of salary slips

The version update includes a functionality for retrospectively changing the paydays of salary slips.

If the salary slip has not yet been reported to the Finnish Tax Administration with an own-initiative tax return, the salary slip’s date can be changed even after the salary has been sent/paid. The date is changed with the "Change payday"/"Muuta palkkapäivää" button on the salary slip. After clicking the button, the user can set a new payday for the pay slip and save the change, provided that certain conditions are met:

  • The button is only visible on salary slips that have not been reported to the Finnish Tax Administration

  • The button can be used if the salary has a status in which it cannot be edited any more (approved, sent, paid, paid elsewhere)

  • The button will not be visible if the status of the pay slip is “unfinished” or “invalidated”

  • The new payday set with the button cannot be earlier than the payment date of the salary slip

  • The new payday set with the button also cannot be in a month that has already been reported with an own-initiative tax return

  • If the payday being set is in a different month than the date of the salary slip, the program will notify the user with a message stating this. The change can still be saved, however.

Accounting report functionalities

We have made some minor improvements to the accounting report functionality. For example, empty rows can be used to improve the readability of customized report formulas.
