In order to effectively use the Accounting Export module, you need to collect information from your own accounting system prior to configuration and use. You need to work closely with your accounting department to ensure the proper information is gathered from the chart of accounts and entered into the appropriate User-Defined Fields available system-wide. In addition, you need to know the file format requirements for your accounting system: What type of file is expected (csv, txt), what data is expected within it and how should that data be formatted?

Prior to implementing the Accounting Export module, it is assumed that you have a solid understanding of how financial data flows through Siriusware software and how you want to post that data to your general ledger (GL). The Accounting Export module can organize and present the data in a highly customized manner, however this places the burden on you, as the client, to have a clear understanding of your posting needs before automating via this application. For more information on accounting best practices with Siriusware software, please see the Siriusware for Accountants document.
