The information is moved in the form of a file,
which contains one or more journal batches. This file must use a specific
format.
Part | Function |
---|---|
File | The files must be ANSI ASCII, this is, the ordinary text file format for windows. |
Header/Detail | Each file must have header records containing
general information about the batch. The header record must appear
before any detail record for each batch. Each batch in the file must
have one or more detail records that post debit or credit amounts
to certain accounts. The format is:
|
Line Separator | Each row is one unit (record) of information. The rows (records) in the file need to end with CR+LF (carriage return and row feed). |
Amounts | The following format is allowed for numerical values 10.00 or -10.00 |
Field Separator | Each row contains a number of fields, separated by a ";". It is possible to use any other character, but then the default field separator has to be defined in the import parameters. |
