How to Import Postings

Introduction

This topic explains how to import Postings from one entry to another on the ‘same’ or ‘different’ clients.

1. From the Accounts Production menu bar, select Posting | Select

2. Select the entry to import into.

• If the Specify Posting Batch screen does not display or an alternative Batch type is required, within the Postings screen, select Batch Control | New
  
   It is recommended that users make a note of the posting numbers they wish to import prior to importing postings.  

The following screen displays.

3. Enter a description.

4. Click the magnifying glass to enter the Account period end date.

5. Click OK.

The following screen displays.

6. Enter 11 (Journals) in the Document Type field and click OK.

• If the Specify Posting Batch screen does not display or an alternative Batch Type is required within the Posting Screen,  select Batch Control | New
  
  IRIS recommends making a note of the posting numbers to import prior to importing postings.

7. From the posting entry screen select Advanced | Import Postings:
   
   

8. Select C - Posting Entry
   
   

9. From the Import Postings from Entry screen confirm the client (shown in the Business field) to import from and click OK.

3. If required click on the magnifying glass next to the Business field to change the client you want to import from.

10. Highlight the Posting Entry and click Select.
    
    
    

11. If the dates differ a warning displays. Select the appropriate option (Adjust/Default/Cancel).

11. From the Import Map screen click No Map.
    
    
    

12. Enter the Posting numbers to import (From/To) and click OK.

• Leave the 'From' and 'To' fields blank to import all the postings in the post file entry.

The postings will automatically import into the post file.

• The postings imported are a COPY of those made in the other entry. Once imported you may need to cancel the postings in the other entry. Alternatively delete the entry itself within Posting | Post File Maintenance | Entries.
  
  Additionally when importing postings from one entry to another, IRIS will omit all previously cancelled postings. Users may therefore see a smaller number of postings after importing.
