You can personally create salary tables in Visma Nmbrs. As an accountant, you do this at the debtor level using the Settings -> Salary Settings tab (for one debtor) or at the Master level using Settings -> Master Salary Settings tab (for multiple debtors, see screen grab below). As a business client, you can do this by going to Settings -> Salary settings tab.
Pleaste note: It is not possible in Visma Nmbrs to create a net salary table.
Please note: If you create your own salary table, the number that you assign it has to be unique (so it cannot coincide with one of the numbers from the default salary tables at the System Level).
Adding a new salary table
Specify the start period for this salary table (monthly, weekly and 4-week period types), the number, the name and the scale type:
You can also indicate here for which employment contract you are creating this table (this is purely for further information and is not linked to the salary table in question being made with Visma Nmbrs).
Salary tables options
After the table is created, there are several options:
- Click on the Scales tab or on the little eye to go to the salary table;
- Click on the little icon with the arrows to edit an existing salary table;
- Click on the i-icon to see which companies use this salary table;
- If you want to delete the salary table, click on the little 'x' at the far right.
Setting up the scale (Scales tab)

- 'Add step': add a step or steps to the salary table;

For monthly tables, you can enter only the monthly amount, if required; 4-Weekly and Weekly are optional. Read at the bottom of this page the points to consider for importing salary tables

Points to consider when importing salary tables
It is possible to add a scale to an existing salary table using the import function, if you use a new scale code.
'Unknown error' when importing salary tables
It is not possible to use the same scale codes and step codes, but only to enter a different description. This results in an 'Unknown error'.
An example of how it should look:
| Scalecode | Scale description | Step code | Step description | Monthly | 4-Weekly | Weekly | Hourly |
| 1 | Description 1 | 15yr | 15 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 1 | Description 1 | 16yr | 16 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 2 | Description 2 | 15yr | 15 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
| 2 | Description 2 | 16yr | 16 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
Example on how it should not look:
| Scalecode | Scale description | Step code | Step description | Monthly | 4-Weekly | Weekly | Hourly |
| 1 | Description 1 | 15yr | 15 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 1 | Description X | 16yr | 16 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 4 |
| 2 | Description 2 | 15yr | 15 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
| 2 | Description Y | 16yr | 16 year | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 |
Underlying reason for this error message
If you want to assign a scale at the employee level, this would cause an error, because it is only possible to import into the import sheet in the employee tab based on the following:
| Salary table no. | Salary table Scale no. | Salary table Step no. |
