Exporting Invoices to Financial AccountingS

Revenue accounts and, if necessary, cost centres and external customer numbers (customer accounts) must be entered to ensure correct posting. Export invoices per booking period or individually.

The debtor accounts are saved in the respective customer accounts. Depending on your company requirements, this number is either assigned automatically or entered manually before the first export using that account. The next available number can be assigned (fully) automatically the first time a spreadsheet is created for an account. Alternatively, the next consecutive number can also be inserted (semi-)automatically by clicking on the button in the account.
