Sodra in Begin Sodra in Begin Import the insurer report you download from Sodra’s EDAS portal, and each sick-leave certificate in it becomes an approved absence for the person it names. Sodra offers no service Begin can read certificates from, so you upload the report yourself, as often as you need.
Beta
The Sodra import is rolling out gradually for Lithuanian workspaces. If Sodra is missing from Settings → Integrations, ask us about enabling it. Your role must also allow managing integrations.

​
Choose the absences colleagues see

Each Sodra reason, such as Liga or Ligonio slaugymas, is booked against a time-off policy you choose. Reasons on Settings → Integrations → Sodra shows each reason and its policy; choose Edit to change one. You can also choose the policy while checking a report, in the row of the first certificate that needs it. Create the policy first if none is available. A reason left on Not imported is skipped. Colleagues see the policy on the schedule, never the reason.

Import a report

1

Download the report from EDAS

In EDAS, form the insurer report (Draudėjo ataskaita) for the period you need and download it as XML.
2

Upload it

Under Import a report, drop the file or choose it. Begin reads it and shows Check the report: Needs you first, then Will be booked, with certificates already in Begin folded away. Nothing is booked yet.
3

Fix what needs you

Each row under Needs you names its cause. For No policy chosen for this reason, choose the policy in that row: it moves to Will be booked, and later reports book that reason too. When no one in Begin has the row’s personal code, add or correct it on the person’s profile and upload the report again. A row the report itself left incomplete, such as one with no personal code or dates, needs a corrected report from EDAS.

Book

Choose Book, which names how many absences it books. They appear on the schedule as approved absences covering whole days, the report joins Imported reports, and any rows still skipped stay listed under Still need you.
Begin finds each person by the personal code on their profile, under Identification number. A person whose code is missing or different shows No one in Begin has this personal code. You need the right to book time off for each person; rows for anyone else are skipped. A certificate over days that already hold an absence is skipped with Overlaps an absence already booked. Decide which absence stands, change the other one, then import again.

​
Import again when a certificate is extended

Upload each new report as it comes. When a report lists a certificate already imported with a new end date, Begin updates the same absence: the row shows New end date under Will be booked. Uploading the same report twice books nothing new. An absence somebody removed from the schedule, or moved to another person, stays as they left it: the row shows Removed from the schedule in Begin.
Revert undoes only the newest import still in force. It removes the absences that import booked and puts the ones it updated back to their earlier dates. An absence somebody has since moved to another person is left as it is.
