    Company Information

    The extension retrieves the company data present in the audit file and automatically inserts them into the properties of the accounting file. you can view them from the File->File and accounting properties menu.

    Accounts

    When the extension is run, the script retrieves the following data from the audit file:

    • Ledger accounts
    • Account number
    • Description
    • Opening and Current balance
    • Customer and supplier accounts
    • Description
    • BClass

    All the requested data is then inserted into the Accounts table  Accounts are imported on top of the table , while customers and suppliers are entered at the end.

    Transactions

    Imported transactions are grouped by number.  The number of each transaction can be seen in the "Doc" column.

    • Date: date of the transaction
    • Doc: document number (rows with the same doc number belong to the same transaction)
    • Description: description of the transaction
    • Debit Account: debit account of the transaction
    • Credit Account: credit account of the transaction
    • Amount: amount of the transaction
    • Vat Code: Used in the registration, is imported inside two square brackets '[]' so that the code remains only figurative, since the vat has already been calculated in the registration. for more information see the page dedicated to VAT Management.

    Vat Codes

    VAT codes are entered in the 'VAT Codes' table so that they can be used in the records.

    • Vat Code: The code identifying the type of rate.
    • Description: The description of the rate.
    • %Vat: The VAT rate.
