Importing purchases IIF, how to use a sub-account?

glennlittleford

Hi, I hope you can help.

When creating a IIF file for importing purchases, I put the account into the ACCNT field. This works if the account is a header account, but if its a sub account, Reckon cant find a match so creates a new account with a type of Bank.

How do I format the IIF file to tell Reckon its a sub-account instead of a header account?

Also is there a way to tell Reckon to NOT create new accounts, new suppliers, etc, if it could not find a matching record, and possible instead log it.

Thanks

Hi Glenn,

If you want to use the subaccount, you need to give it the "full name", for example, if you have account "Diesel" under "Fuel", then the expected value would be "Fuel:Diesel".

Regarding your last question, the answer is no, when importing data from IIF, Reckon will automatically add a new instance if it doesn't exist. Only when it cannot add something and the transaction cannot be imported because of it, it will throw an error.

Thanks,

Phuong
