The following tables show how importing data from Microsoft Office Accounting will affect the information already present in the accountant's files.
| Client Information Exported | Effect on Accountant's Files |
|---|---|
| Transactions | All checks, deposits, journal entries, invoices, bills, payments, and transfers are held in Accountant's Assistant for processing. When you explicitly request the transfer by choosing Tasks > Transfer to CSA, transactions are transferred to CSA and append to any existing transactions. |
| GL Chart of Accounts | New accounts are added to the CSA Chart of Accounts. If the client changed or deleted any accounts, you will need to change or delete them manually in CSA. (Be sure to print a copy of the Chart of Accounts Diagnostics Report from File > Print Reports prior to transferring the data.) |
| Vendors | All vendors will transfer from Microsoft Office Accounting to Accountant's Assistant. New vendors will be added to the CSA Vendors window. If your client deleted any vendors, you will need to delete them manually from the CSA Vendors window. (Be sure to print a copy of the Vendor Diagnostics Report from File > Print Reports prior to transferring the data.) |
| Payroll data |
The Payroll Compliance module must first be enabled for the client in CSA. All employee information will transfer from Microsoft Office Accounting to Accountant's Assistant. New employees are added to the CSA Employees window. If the client has deleted any employees, you will need to delete them manually from the CSA Employees window. (Be sure to print a copy of the Employee Diagnostics Report from File > Print Reports in Accountant's Assistant prior to transferring the data to CSA.) |
