Hi.

I need to create a IIF file to import purchase orders into Reckon. In Reckon the purchase order has several columns, ie Item, Description, Qty, Rate, etc. When creating the IIF file, which headings do I use for the Item and Description columns?  I've looked at the sample IIF files but the answer wasn't obvious, there is no header called ITEM or DESCRIPTION.

Thanks
Glenn

Thanks Chandra, but I already have the items list, accounts, etc. I just need to know which headings in the IIF file correspond to the Items and Description columns on the Reckon purchase.

Well I've worked it out myself.  The IIF headings INVITEM matches up with the purchases Item column, and the MEMO field matches the Description. I also worked out you can post several purchases in the one IIF file by including the  !HEADINGS lines for each new purchase, not just once at the top. If you dont, Reckon crashes!

I have to say, documentation and support from Reckon for the IIF file is pathetic! I've developed my software to export to MYOB and Zero, both relatively easy compared to Reckon. Maybe something to address.
