The Journal Entry Import Template is a text file much like the ones used to import records (e.g. Clients, Vendors, Products) into other AV modules. However, this template has a different format that must be strictly adhered to.

There are two sections to this import template:

1. GL Summary
2. Sub-Account Detail

 In the sample below, rows 6-10 make up the GL Summary section and rows 12-43 make up the Sub-Account Detail section.

Note: If your import does not contain Sub-Account data (Inventory, AR, AP, etc), you must still include the Sub-Account header row (row 12 in screen shot below) and the EOF (end of file) tag.

Before you begin:

• Make a Backup of your AcctVantage Data File.
• Download the Journal Entry Import Template here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This version of AcctVantage is based on 4D v15. If you are currently running AV 2015 or a previous version (based on 4D v13 or earlier) you will need to obtain licenses for 4D v15 prior to beginning the process to update to this version.

If you are currently using AcctVantage 2015 or older, you need to contact AV Support before installing AV 2017.

There is no need for a new key file if you are already running AV 2017.0.x.x.  If you are upgrading from an older release, please contact Support to obtain your license key.

Notes on Operating Systems:  

• AcctVantage releases are certified to work with specific versions of Macintosh and Windows Operating Systems.  
  • For Macintosh, certifications are done at the 10.x level, meaning that an AcctVantage version certified for 10.5 or earlier will not operate on a server or client running Mac OS 10.4.  
  • For Windows, the certification is done by major release version such as Windows XP or Windows 7.
• We suggest turning OFF all Automatic Update programs that may update an Operating System version. The OS certification applies to both Server and Client machines.
• Bookmark this article for the latest supported OS versions and the corresponding AcctVantage release.
• AcctVantage operates on a Local Area Network (LAN) using TCP/IP protocols. If all users are on the same LAN, then dynamic IP address assignment is acceptable. It is recommended that all LAN connections be routed through switches rather than hubs and that “daisy-chaining” of switches and/or hubs be avoided.
