Can't see option to import csv files for customers, suppliers
Mel_10759137
I am setting up Reckon Accounts Plus 2020, transferring from MYOB Account Edge (Mac).
I have generated csv files for Customers and Suppliers. In the Reckon Customer Centre/Excel it gives me options to
Export
Customer List and Export Transactions, but not
Import
Customer List. I also looked in File/Utilities/Import but the three options are IIF Files, Web Connect Files and Bank Statement Files. Do I have to convert my csv files to IIF? Nothing in the Help window about this. Why is it so difficult? Thanks for your help.
PS yes, I know about the Transfer service but I only have a few customers/suppliers so should be able to do it myself.

Thanks Kevin. That's frustrating but I can do it manually.
MYOB no longer supporting Desk top Mac applications and the only Mac option is Cloud hosted, which I don't like. Also charging over $80/month for the privilege and Help line wait is usually 1-2 hours. I just got fed up with it. Reckon offered a Desk-top option for a lower cost and I'm still ahead even after buying a new PC to run it. I will persist!

There are partners in this forum sure can help you using iif tool, creation of Intuit inc, i think 2 people may be able to help : Graham Boast or Linda Putland.
stopped using iif more than 12 yrs ago, we use SDK as i found iif is Never 1st hit solution, lots of mucking round and frustrations.

Thanks Chandra - I think I'll leave it and just enter them manually. Just ridiculous that I cannot import a csv file !!

Mel - Open your CSV file and save it as an Excel file - then I think you can use the Import Excel Files mapping utility to bring your data across? if you save it as a tab delimited file - then this will be the import IIF option - but you need to have the correct columnt headings to do this. One way to get it done is to create one dummy entry in Reckon for Suppliers and Customers - export this and then open in Excel and use this formatting/column headings to copy your MYOB data over from the csv file?

Thanks Linda. I've given up on that and pruned the customer and supplier lists, so am just entering them individually. Good opportunity for a spring clean. Thank you anyway.
