Has anyone tried using Import Transactions from SAP Business One in order to create a new Journal Voucher? I know the common way is to use DTW but I tried this and it appears to work perfectly...with fewer clicks. I would love to get feedback from the experts to know if they see any potential pitfalls. (I am using 8.82 by the way.)
Here is what I did:
- Exported a sample Journal Entry using Export Transactions to SAP Business One
- Opened the exported TXT file in Excel
- Modified all occurrences of dates to match my import date
- Modified TransID to 0 since this is automatically corrected upon import
- Modified line item Accounts, Debits, Credits and Memos as necessary
- Left all other repeating values alone, such as columns that just include 0, -1, or N for all lines
- IMPORTANT NOTE: The first line is the Header information and should not be treated the same as the subsequent line items
- Imported the revised TXT file using Import Transactions to SAP Business One
- This imports the data as a Journal Voucher which you can edit or post
- TransID is automatically set to the next number in sequence so you don't have to worry about looking it up
I can't find anyone else talking about this method which makes me worry that it might not be a good idea.
Thanks for any feedback.
