1. Exporting/Importing Journal Entries
If you want to transfer a large number of entries:
Steps:
Exporting entries from the source journal:
Menu: File > Export > Journal Entries
Choose the Bank Local Currency journal 1
Format: ASCII or Sage 100
Importing into the target journal:
Menu: File > Import > Journal Entries
Select the exported file
Choose the Bank Local Currency journal 2
You can modify the journal in the file before importing if necessary.
2. Using the "Transferring Journal Entries" Function
Sage offers a transfer journal function that allows you to move entries between journals.
It is accessible via:
Accounting > Transfer to Accounting
You define the criteria (journal, period, document number)
You choose the destination journal
This method is ideal if you want to keep the entries intact but change their originating journal.
3. Important
Verify that the currencies are compatible between the two journals
Ensure that the associated bank accounts or IBANs are correctly configured
If you have unchecked "counterpart on each line", the entries must be balanced manually.
