Depending on the version that you are importing from and the import components that you selected, some of the fields/options may be disabled.
| Field | Description |

| Use debit sign for imported acct. |
Selecting this will set all categories of Sales and all categories of Capital & Reserves to be set as ’r;Debit’ in the Trial Balance. Bank Account items will be set to ’r;Debit’ and VAT Liability items will be set to ’r;Credit’ regardless of whether or not this check box is selected. |
| Use department to build entity |
