In this article we'll look at importing data like your chart of accounts and business units to a manual organisation from a CSV or Excel file.

If your organisation is linked to MYOB, Xero or QuickBooks you'll manage the data in your accounting system and sync it to Calxa as per the following articles.



  1. Navigate to: Reports -> Report Tools -> Organisation Sync
    or
    Settings -> Organisation Settings -> Organisation Sync

  2. Identify the Organisation you wish to import data into and click IMPORT DATA.

  3. Select the Type of import

    1. Actual Amounts: imports actual amounts by monthly periods. See Import Actuals for Manual Organisation for more details.

    2. Budget Amounts: imports budget amounts by monthly periods.

    3. Chart of Accounts: imports or updates your Chart of Accounts

    4. Business Units: imports or updates your Business Units
      Note: Accounts and Business Units are matched on the number. If the number already exists it will update this record. If the number is new it will insert a new record.

  4. Browse and select the CSV or Excel file to import from and click NEXT STEP.
