Individual Export Functions - System Data

The System Data export function is included in the following Standard products:
  • Standard Accounts (System module)

  • Standard Nominal Ledger
---

You can use this function to export basic information from a database (Accounts, Payment Modes, Payment Terms, Report Definitions and/or VAT Codes). This is a practical tool for when you want to create a new database that will use the same basic accounts structure as your existing ones.

This function creates a file with the correct format that you can import to a new database using the 'Automatic' or 'Manual file search' Import functions in the System module. As the exported file is a text file, you can edit it as necessary using a text editor before importing it into a new database, or of course you can make the necessary changes after importing.

To use this function, click the [Exports] button in the Master Control panel in the System module and double-click 'System Data' in the 'Exports' list. The 'Specify System Data' window is opened:

Check the boxes to choose what is to be exported. Click [Run] to proceed. A dialogue box will open where you can name the export file and specify where it is to be saved.

Enter a name for the file and click [Save] or press the Enter key.

A message window informs you about the progress of the export. You can interrupt the process at any time by pressing ⌘-Full Stop.
