Export Journal Entries to AccountEdge

Export Journal Entries to AccountEdge

• Click the Ledger icon in the Manager window
• Click the Export button (in the upper right of the window)
• Select AccountEdge as the File Format
• When you export the journal entries, you have the following options:

  All Transactions

  Export all transaction from the first entry through the last entry.

  Selection Only

  Export entries based on both the date range and entered search terms.

  Since Last Export

  Export all entries since the last export of the currently selected file format. At the bottom of the window you'll see a short description of the last transaction included in an export.

• The Since Last Export option is recommended when you export journal entries on a regular basis. Neither Checkout nor AccountEdge checks whether exported transactions are duplicates; there is no check to determine whether or not the transactions have already been exported and imported into AccountEdge
• The last step is to choose what will occur when the export is complete. The options are:

  Reveal File

  This option will open a Finder window in the folder where the file was saved.

  Launch AccountEdge

  This option will launch AccountEdge so you can import the general journal entries.

  Nothing

  If this option is selected, the file will be exported with the indicated name to the indicated location.

• To complete the export process, enter a file name at the top of the export window, and choose a location to save the file. Click Save. The results will be a text file of journal entries that you can import into AccountEdge
