Export/Import

In this procedure you can export and import accounting data.

In Germany this takes place via export/import of CSV files to DATEV.

Accounting data refers to for example vouchers, balances, opening balances, chart of accounts, budgets, and forecasts.

Transaction data such as journals and accruals are exported in the DATEV format. The following basic data is exported/imported: chart of accounts, customer accounts, supplier accounts, customers, suppliers, payment terms, and addresses.

Export of SAF-T (Standard Audit File - Tax) is a standard format for export of different types of bookkeeping transactions in XML format, and this is available as an option.

Work flow in the procedure

First you should make sure that you are working in the correct accounting year. Then you select which operation to perform: Export or Import. You then configure different settings for the export or import. You execute an export or import by using the buttons Export or Import on the toolbar in the procedure. These buttons become activated when a correct file path/file name has been entered. When you make an import, the Import rules window opens where you can decide how different items should be imported to the system. After you have finished this step and clicked on Import, a dialog is displayed showing the result of the import.
