With over 4000 customers, and over 350 000 employments being handled, Mepco is one of Finland's most popular payroll and HR software. Many of Bezala customers use Mepco or another HR software called Sympa, and to make their life easier we've created an integration that automates the following:
Update employees' basic data from Mepco/Sympa to Bezala (incl. name, email, SSN, language, IBAN, BIC)
Updates the employees' defaults (default cost centers, accounts)
Updates the employees' foreman
Deactivates the employee the day after the contract is terminated
Since Mepco/Sympa does not yet have an API, we've built the integration using CSV files that are transferred via SFTP. The columns in the CSV file are listed below. The order of the columns does not matter, and not all columns are required. However, the header name has to be exactly as shown below.
Required columns:
Column header | Description |
Person Number | Add your Mepco/Sympa employee ID here |
User Email |
|
Optional columns:
Column header | Description |
User Name |
|
User language | Can be ENGLISH, SWEDISH or FINNISH, otherwise, we will fall back to the company default language. |
User Role | Can be EMPLOYEE, MANAGER, ACCOUNTANT or APPROVER, otherwise we will fallback to EMPLOYEE |
User IBAN |
|
User BIC |
|
User SSN |
|
User Default Account |
|
DEFAULT COST CENTER ::: dimensionname | Please add all dimensions in separate columns. Ex: "DEFAULT COST CENTER ::: DIMENSION 1". The Dimension name has to match to the dimension name in Bezala, otherwise, we will ignore this column. The cost center ID or name also has to exist in Bezala, otherwise, we will ignore it. IF the company has a company ID set then the corresponding company ID must be set in the "Yhtiönumero" column for this to work. |
User Approvers | Comma-separated |
Ts päättymispv | DD.MM.YYYY |
Yhtiönumero | If you are a group of companies, place the company ID that the employee belongs to in this column. If you only have one company then please ignore this column. The company ID needs to be added to "External company ID" field in company settings in Bezala. |
Connecting Bezala to your Mepco/Sympa Server
Connect your Bezala environment to Mepco/Sympa by activating the Mepco integration on the "HR & Payroll Software" tab on the "Integrations" page. You can find instructions for that here: https://help.bezala.com/en/articles/140319-hr-integration-settings-mepco-sympa
Sending Mepco/Sympa files to Bezala's Server
If you don't have a server of your own, nor do you have a Mepco/Sympa server, you can ask our support to use our server. We will setup a server for you for an extra cost of 50€/month.
The timetable for the sync
Data will be fetched from Mepco/Sympa to Bezala automatically on a daily basis (Mon-Fri at 6.30 AM) after the connection with Mepco/Sympa has been established.
