Multiple Updating – Input from CSV File - Nominal

The definition for the update from CSV is largely the same as that from an external database except that the data items you specify are the entries in the CSV file – i.e. ‘ITEM-1, ITEM-2, ITEM-3, etc.’

Instead of the selection criteria and flag options, however, are options to delete the input file and to import new accounts as well.

Opt. CSV to check accounts (Code, Name)

Here you can enter a separate CSV file to use for importing account records, the CSV file containing two items - the account code followed by the account name. If the file is present the codes are first checked against the current nominal ledger and any new codes added before the journal is imported.

Delete Files after Posting

Set this option to delete the input file after posting – you cannot flag a CSV record as updated so deleting the file prevents duplicate posting.
