Importing from Xyntax Native Systems
Working Papers can import the trial balance and full general ledger detail or the trial balance with opening entries.
Requirements
-
Use the export module in Xyntax Native Systems to create an export file. The components of the export file determine what is able to be imported into Working Papers.
Note: Make sure that you specify no conversion or binary in the file transfer. If you do not, you may not be able to import the general ledger or trial balance successfully. If you encounter a situation where the general ledger or trial balance doesn't seem to be imported correctly, repeat the export from Xyntax specifying binary or no conversion.
The Xyntax files required for import include:
| File | Containing... |
|---|---|
| filename.txt | Trial balance and/or general ledger detail (depending on export selections). |
Prerequisites
- If Protection is activated, the File permission "Import" is required to perform this operation.
