NB Importing account plans can only be performed on brand new clients. The reasons for this are:
- Custom accounts are deleted (system accounts retained)
- Type group settings are reset to default
- Custom accounts for use as customer / vendor residual accounts are restored to default.
When importing an account plan, you will be able to:
- Adding new accounts with names and VAT codes
- Update default chart of accounts with name and VAT codes
If the choice for importing the plan of accounts does not appear in the import wizard, this is because there are posted documents, and then the import will no longer be possible.
The import file should be built up with the columns shown below and saved as .csv format
