Update Account File

Use this to add individual accounts to the sales or purchase ledgers, or to add headers, transactions or budget values to the Nominal Ledger.

This process requires technical knowledge to prepare the external data (which may have been generated from an external source) into a suitable format to write it into Sage 200. The data is checked before being added to the ledger. This ensures the integrity of the records that are generated during the process.

Note: You cannot use Update Account File to add information to existing accounts, or to import foreign currency receipts or payments to sales or purchase accounts.

• Account records are created with imported information although it may be necessary to modify the information created for each nominal account record.
