API/Integrations:
Single Authentication and Single Sign On with Xero credentials (UK only)
Our new Planday + Xero authentication feature allows you to sign up to Planday using your Xero credentials from the Xero App Store.

You can find more information here.
Improved support for Fortnox payroll export file (SE only)
New file format - XML
We have changed the file format for the Fortnox Payroll export file to XML, to better support downloading the file on different devices.
Coming soon: Planday Department numbers as Cost centers
You can soon add your Planday Department numbers as Cost centers to your Fortnox export file.
If you add a department number under People > Departments, you will be able to see this reflected in your Fortnox xml report as per the below example:
“<resenheter>
<resenhet dim="1" id="{department number}"/>
</resenheter>
If you’d rather not include any Cost centers, please, ensure that you select this in Planday by navigating to Settings > Integrations > Fortnox export file > Manage > Untick “Include department number (Fortnox Cost center)”.
Please, note that your department number can only be up to 6 characters long. Please, also ensure that Fortnox is set up to support cost centers under settings and that you’ve created the equivalent cost centers under the Cost centers Index, otherwise the file import will not work.
