It is possible to merge two files, but they have to belong to the same application (for example two double-entry accounting files). It is not possible to merge files belonging to different applications (for example one double-entry accounting file and one income & expense file).
In order to successfully merge two files, it is crucial that they contain the same accounts numbers. Proceed as follows:
- Open the file which will contain the data of both files.
- Select the Tools → Merge File command.
- Select the path and the name of the file to be merged.
- Confirm the merge operation.
- If the files are not identical, even though they belong to the same application, (for example, accounting with VAT/Sales tax and accounting without VAT/Sales tax), a message will appear warning against probable data loss.
