Financial - Export Data to General Ledger - Account Transactions

The Account Transactions tab is used for two purposes:

  1. Locate accounting transactions for export: locate the accounting transactions that need to be exported to your company's general ledger accounting software.

  2. Export account transactions: Create a TSV, CSV, or Microsoft Excel®  file with records representing the accounting transactions located. This is the file that will be used to import the data into your accounting application.

    Definitions must be made in the following three tabs before records can be exported:

    1. General

    2. Accounts - Setup

    3. Currency - Setup

To locate the accounting transactions for export

  1. Go to Financial - Export Data to General Ledger - Account Transactions.

  2. If required, use one or more of the following search parameters:

    Account transactions are not created automatically. In order to create account transactions you need to click Refresh. Batch In is a counter that counts the number of times a Refresh had been performed. You may locate a transaction account according to the batch during which the account transaction was created.

    Note that each click on Refresh generates account transactions, and the Batch In counter is updated. For example, the first time Refresh is clicked, the Batch In counter is 1, the second time Refresh is clicked, the Batch In counter is 2.

    Batch out From

    To

    Every time we create a file to be exported to the general ledger, a Batch Out is formed and the account transaction is exported to the general ledger. Batch Out is a counter that counts the number of times transaction account files had been exported to the general ledger. You may locate an account transaction according to Batch Out, i.e. the batch in which it was exported.

In the travel file for a corporate client, the tax invoice (TXI) issued for a transaction fee can be issued to the corporate client, enabling him to claim the VAT amount. This tax invoice is recorded in the accounting transaction with the following three lines:

  1. Debit corporate client, credit income account.
  2. Debit corporate client, credit VAT output.
  3. Debit travel file, credit corporate client.

In the Details field of the third accounting transaction entry (between the travel file and the corporate client), a textual note named DCTFLCCL is displayed. This way, the accounting system importing the accounting transactions can recognize the transaction and respond accordingly.

To export an account transaction

  1. Locate the account transactions you wish to export as described above.

  2. Select the account transactions you wish to export by checking the check-box to the left, or click Select All to select all account transactions.

    To de-select, simply re-check the box, or, to de-select all selections, click Unselect All.

  3. Click either Export TSV file, Export CSV file, Export Excel file.

  4. Select where the file is to be saved to.

    A Batch Out number is generated, and is registered now by the account transaction.

    If the general ledger account number of a bank account ends with MMYY, when exporting data to the general ledger these characters are replaced with the value date of the financial document for the row which is being exported.

    If the general ledger account number of a bank account ends with CR, when exporting data to the general ledger these characters are replaced with the currency code of the financial document in the row which is being exported.
