| - Importing of CSV files is controlled by an XML configuration file, located in the Deploy folder. This file controls the mapping between columns in your CSV file and ledger fields. Additional information can be found in the XML file. - CSV files containing up to 38,000 journal lines are supported. To import a CSV file with more than 38,000 journal lines, separate the CSV file into multiple files, ensuring that each file does not exceed the journal line limit, and perform a separate import for each file. You can also try decreasing the number of transactions and consolidating prior period data. |

| In order to meet the specifications for this file to be imported, the CSV file exported from QuickBooks Online needs to be modified and the file MyobCsvMaps-System.xml updated to create a new mapping template. First, we have to create the CSV file: Log into your QuickBooks Online client and open the Intuit QuickBooks Home page. Ensure the client's QuickBooks Online file has the 'enable account codes' option ticked in the configuration. From the navigation bar click Reports. In All Reports under Accountant Reports, produce the Journal Report in Excel and click "Customize report". Uncheck the option to include all the Headers. Image Removed In Excel add a new column called Amount, then populate this with the data from the Debit-Credit columns.
Populate the Date column for each row with data in it. All records having non zero Amount and Account must have have a Date.
Info |
---|
Excel has a function that can be used to get data populated correctly for the non-contiguous rows, such as the Date that is missing from some of the rows in the file. | Select the column range that needs to be filled for non-contiguous range of blank cells (for example B3:B2000). Press F5 to show the Goto dialog. Click Special then select Blanks and click OK. With the non-contiguous range of blank cells selected, without selecting anything else, type = and the cell that is the start of the range and press Ctrl + Enter. In the example type =B3 here. Now the Excel file is ready to be converted and saved as a CSV.Next, we'll need to update the MyobCsvMaps.xml file. The existing options for importing a CSV file Default MYOB Template or the QuickBooks 2014 Template will not support this File. Therefore, you will need to add new Template in the MyobCsvMaps.xml file located in the Deploy Folder:
- In the Deploy folder, rename the existing MyobCsvMaps-System.xml to MyobCsvMaps-System.xml.old
The location of the Deploy folder can be found at \\SERVER\CENTRAL or \\SERVER\MYOB\MYOBAE\AESQL\Central\Deploy (where SERVER is your server name). - Save the MyobCsvMaps-System file pinned to this page to your Deploy folder.
Note that this will overwrite any previous modifications that were made to the MyobCsvMaps.xml file.
Finally, we'll import the CSV file: Run the Import Client File wizard. See "How to import a client file" above.In the Select Templatedrop-down step, select "QBOL".Continue with the remaining steps in "How to import a client file".
