Hi Red1 / n2n,

Following the steps in the user manual we are able to import the account csv file and load the account information. It is simple and easy to follow. But after practising those steps several times, some questions come into my mind.

In the "Import File Loader" form (fig 2.27 pg 82), the "Import Format" combo box displays the different types of accounts that can be loaded. In the user manual, "Accouning-Accounts" has been chosen. If I decide to chose "Accounting-Tax Balance Sheet". Will this restrict my accounting transactions only to tax issues?

Suppose I choose "Accounting-Accounts", some fields are displayed e.g. "Value", "Name",.....,"Parent Value". What happens when I only enter data regarding "Assets" (refer to fig. 2.27 pg82)? What will happen if I choose to leave those fields blank? How will those decisions affect my overall accounting transactions?

After I load my accounts, a message box displays the number of rows that have been loaded (fig. 2.28 pg 82). Next I import these accounts in the "Import Account" window and decide to create an account combination. Here, do I need to create a combination for each record? If I create a combination for only one record, will it apply to the other records as well?

Thank you very much

Hi Hema,

Sorry for the delay! The Accounts-Account option in the combo box tells Compiere that you want to load the Account Element. The rest of the selections are basically Financial Report formats e.g., Accounting-Tax Balance Sheet is the report format for Tax Balance Sheet.

This is apparent in the example import files. If you open those CVS files, e.g., AccountingUS, and scroll to the right, you will see the report formating data. That's also why the parameters change if you select different options in the combo box.

Normally, I would just import the Accounts-Account and setup the reporting format manually.

Rgrds.
