File Layout:

Required columns are shown with an asterisk (*). However, only the account structure levels that you are using need to be specified. For example, if you are only using funds and departments in your chart of accounts, you only need to specify "Fund" and "Department" columns in your Excel file. Also, Sub-Accounts are entered in the account fields as a dash followed by the sub-account number (e.g., 5010-2). This is only needed if you have Sub-Accounts turned on in Account Structure Settings and you have sub-accounts in your Chart of Accounts.

The order of the columns below does not matter, but the first field in each column must contain the descriptions listed below:

Company*

Name*

Region*  (use only if it is included in your Account Structure)

Super Fund*  (use only if it is included in your Account Structure)
