Chart Of Accounts Importer
When a new company is created in iVendNext, the Chart of Accounts for it is created by default with a pre-set structure. However, if you have your own Chart of Accounts, you can import it using the Chart of Accounts Importer.
It allows you to create your own Chart of Accounts according to your requirement and import it into the system.
Any existing Chart Of Accounts against that company will be overwritten. Make sure the company you are selecting doesn't have any pre-existing transactions otherwise you'll receive a validation error.
To access, go to: Home > Getting Started > Chart of Accounts Importer
