Upload Journal Entries

Journal entries are created based on a double-entry accounting system where total debits must equal total credits. You can post an entry to your G/L using this module.

Overview
  • Download the latest CSV template from the “Upload Journal Entries” module.
  • Copy Journal Entry information into the CSV template.
  • Upload the CSV template into Xoro.

Download the CSV template file

  • Go to Upload Journal Entries using the Search Menu.
  • Click on the “Download Template“.

Copy the information into the template

Once you’ve downloaded the template file, you can copy in your data using any spreadsheet software. There are columns that you must complete, and others that are optional. Mandatory fields are marked with a double asterisk (**) prefix.

  • The file must be a CSV (Comma-separated values) file. The name of your file must end with csv.
  • Make sure you don’t change any of the column headings from row 1 in the template – these are needed for the file to import correctly.
  • All date fields will accept a format of MM/DD/YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY.
  • Be mindful of any leading zeros in your data, some spreadsheet software will trim them automatically without notifying you. This can be resolved by ensuring your columns have correct formatting.
  • Sometimes long numbers are formatted as scientific notation. Be sure to change the formatting on this data to display these long numbers correctly.

If you’re importing more than 5,000 records, we recommend you to split up the file.
