How do I Import Accounts from CSV?
Under Chart of Accounts, click on the CSV option and it will show the format of the required file. The file simply requires 3 columns;
- Account Name
- Account Type (specify Income, Expense, Asset, Liability or Equity)
- GST (enter Yes or No)
If the Account Name includes a comma (eg Postage, Printing & Stationery), you need to insert double quotes around the account name.
Once imported, you can then update the account information including the Account Type, Account Category, Divisional allocation (if required) and link Profit and Loss Accounts to the Balance Sheet (if required)
If you have multiple
divisions and would like to import the accounts against a specific division, select the division and the follow the import process. This will assign all of the imported accounts to the chosen Division.
