Calculation engine

This company wide setting is only visible to full admins

General

Skovik regularly make changes to improve our system by adding new functionality or make adjustments to calculations. Some changes may need customers to adapt by informing users, change processes or inform your internal bookkeeping functions. To avoid breaking your workflow, changes will not be applied immediately.

Each version will be named by the date it is released, and 12 months from that date, the version will be automatically upgraded. All versions are created to improve the system in some way, so it will usually be preferred to manually upgrade it sooner.

When upgrading the calculation engine, you choose until which version you want to upgrade. Anything available before that version date will be added as well, so it is important to read all the versions' information.

Version examples

Changes to calculations is usually automatically updated yearly or more often, followed by local regulations changing. However, when introducing calculation for countries we have not had calculations for before, it will appear as a new version. That would be for example if we add per diems to a new country.

Changes to export formats can be done for different reasons. It often has to do with new standards or improved data. That would for example be if we have a file for a specific system and that system updates its format, or if we add extra information to a Skovik specific format such as the "employees"-file which contains user data.

When the calculation engine has been upgraded to a new version, you can not roll it back.

When you have read through the version notes and made any necessary changes or preparations, you click prepare upgrade. You will then be able to choose which version to upgrade to, and click "upgrade" to confirm.
