Want to compare price and options first? See ReAI vs. Fiken .
Quickest way to switch:
- Export data: Foretak -> Eksport av regnskap. This produces a .zip with both SAF-T (transactions, suppliers, etc.) and vouchers (PDF). For most, storing this export in cloud storage (OneDrive, Google Drive) satisfies record-keeping.
- Create an opening balance in ReAI that matches the trial balance from Fiken at the switch date.
The first step is just downloading the export. The second requires posting an opening balance voucher (debits and credits) so each account has the correct balance.
Go to Oversikt -> Saldobalanse in Fiken.
Select the current year and export PDF. Use that PDF to enter balances in ReAI.
Example:
1920: 30000
2000: -30000
Post this as two lines in ReAI with debit/credit.
In practice you need about (number of accounts with balance) / 2 lines in ReAI.
If you have custom accounts in Fiken, you can consolidate them into ReAI standard accounts.
Most companies do not need custom accounts; they often create clutter and duplication.
