Visma External Periods API
Operations for reporting per-employee values for a deviation period from an external system. An external period carries a percentage-based project/cost-center distribution for the employee's worked time. The values are picked up when they are imported into the payslip for that period.A period cannot be updated — delete it and create a new one instead. An integration can only see and manage the periods it has created itself.Overview of the project and cost center distribution of ordinary working time on the payslip: [Fördelning ordinarie arbetstid](https://support.spiris.se/lon/sv-se/content/online-help/payrun-adjust-payslip.htm#fordelning-ordinarie-arbetstid)
