Under Company/Employees or Project/Maintenance/Employees , employees can be created. The employees created here can be selected from many tables in Uniconta and thus allow for statistical extractions.

| MNE-No | Enter Auditor MNE-No. here. Must only be filled in by auditors. The field is used in connection with balance sheet printouts. Read more here. |
| User | |
| Approve and Approve 2 |
These fields are filled in on the employee if the employee must submit purchase vouchers to Uniconta and an approver is automatically added when submitting the vouchers. Example: Employee "EE" has "LJ" as Approver "EE" submits an attachment. "LJ" automatically receives the attachment submitted by "EE" for approval. If Approver 2 is selected here, a physical document approved as an approver by this employee is automatically forwarded to Approver 2. Example: Employee "EE" has "LJ" as Approver and "PC" as Approver 2 "EE" submits an attachment. "LJ" and "PC" automatically receive the attachment submitted by "EE" for approval. If the employee is set as e.g. approver 1, the document is placed for approval by the user themselves. For example, in the app. or from the user's default email. |
| Login ID |
If you add the employee's login ID to the employee card index, we will be able to add the employee when creating sales and purchase orders, as Uniconta can now recognize the employee via the login ID. The same applies if the timesheet and the Uniconta Employee app are to be used. If you are logged in with an employee login ID and approve another employee's documents, it is your own employee ID that is stamped inthe inbox as the approver. You can give an employee read-only access to physical documents, as no other rights are required to approve a document. Read more about user rights here. An employee can also use the 'Approve' function under 'My profile' in the top bar. This requires that you have entered the login ID of the employee in the employee directory.
Read more about authentication in physical attachments (inbox) here. |
| Invoice, Confirmation and Quote |
If an employee should receive a copy of invoices, order confirmations and quotes, check these boxes. The email address will be put in cc. The employee will only receive the document if they are selected in the Employee field on e.g. the sales order and if an email address is specified for the employee. Note! If you have a Uniconta login and your Uniconta login is linked to an employee in the employee directory, the Employee field is automatically filled in with your employee number when you create sales orders, unless another employee is manually selected during creation or a specific employee is specified for the customer in the debtor directory. Employee is added when you press “Save”. |
| Show cost |
Not implemented here. The function is accessed under Company/User rights/Administer users. Top menu [Menu Layout]. Read more here. |
| Send email for attachment approval |
If checked, Uniconta sends a notification to the employee's email when an attachment arrives in the inbox from which the employee can approve the attachment. ATTENTION! The employee only gets the email when they are selected as approver and the user clicks “Save”. It requires a login on the employee that the Login ID is filled in. Email is filled in and that 'Send email for attachment approval' is checked on the employee. [Awaiting approval] This feature has the same setup requirements as "Send email for attachment approval" as specified in the previous line. Please note! If you do not receive the email, you can create post@uniconta.com as a contact person in your mail client. This will prevent the sender email from being set as a "phishing" email. The employee approves in this email.
Click "Approve here". If you select "Approve" or "Reject" from the email, the link will subsequently be inactive. If you select "Wait", the link is still active, but now the bookkeeper can see that the voucher is in the "Waiting" folder and can also see the note that the approver has written. So if you are not yet ready to either approve or reject, it is better to select "Wait" because then the accountant can see that the approver has seen the document but cannot make a decision. "Wait" works in the same way as via email when approving attachments via the "My profile" menu. There is an option to resend an approval request from Finance/Physical vouchers (inbox). Read more here. If the attachment is not PDF or XML, the file will be downloaded and displayed in an external application. |
| Storage location |
The employee's default storage location can be inserted here. When this employee enters a sales order, this storage location will be suggested on the order line. NB: The employee must have a user login for Uniconta and have this user login associated with the employee in the “Login ID” field |
| Pricing | |
| Cost price and selling price |
Cost price and selling price can be entered here. This is the lowest level. This means that prices created elsewhere will override these. Cost price can be named here without filling in the sales price. There should always be a cost price for an employee. |
| Time | |
| Ready date and Approved date |
In these fields, enter the day before the employee should start time tracking. The fields are automatically updated with new dates every time an employee reports and/or approves hours for the employee, so you can always see how far along the employee is in reporting and approving hours in these fields. |
| Employee | |
| Employee | To be filled in with date of hire. The field is an information field. |
| Advised against | To be filled in with the date of resignation. The field is an information field. |
