Sign file

If you select the Sign file check box, the XML for this provider is electronically signed by certificate. This is only valid for Swissdec providers, where the Swissdec certificate can be applied.

Encrypt File

For source tax (GE, VD) and FAK monthly (AKB) and FAK YearToDate (eAHV) you must NOT select this check box. Selecting this check box triggers the encryption of the XML. For Swissdec 4.0, encryption is mandatory.

Profiling

This field is relevant in the monthly statistics report. Select this checkbon if a corresponding agreement has been made in advance between the Statistik / Bundesamt für Statistik (BFS) and the company in the context of profiling.

Transmission Mode

Select either EIV or PIV as the transmission mode.

Use Distributor to

If you send the XML through Swissdec and not directly to the provider, you need to select this check box; otherwise the distributor will reject the file.

Phone Information, Email Information, URL Information, Insurance Status, and Insurance Plans

Use these groups boxes to add information about the insurance provider. Email and URL address information are for information purposes only, not for transmission.

Use the Contribution Rates page (GPCH_SI_UV_PCT) to enter accident insurance data.
