Chart of Accounts Import Guide

Use the Chart of Accounts import tool when the account structure is being loaded from another source instead of being created manually one account at a time.

Overview

Tab Path: Configurations > Utilities > Chart of Account Importer

The Chart of Accounts import tool helps implementations and restructures move faster when the account list already exists outside QBM.

Because the chart of accounts affects reporting, balances, and accounting structure, the import should be planned and reviewed carefully.

Import account structure into QBM from a prepared source file.

How It Works

  • Users prepare the source chart outside QBM and then use the importer to bring that structure into the system.
  • The imported result should be reviewed before live transaction entry begins or before a major restructure is accepted.

Best Practice

  • Import the chart before large transaction volumes begin whenever possible.
  • Review parent-child structure and account types after import.
  • Do not assume the imported hierarchy is correct without checking it in QBM.
