Company Code

Within the accounting package, more than one company can exist, similar to multiple configurations within the Chase database.  The Company Code, as set up within the accounting package, is specified here to ensure the exported transactions are sent to the correct set of books.

Accounting Package

Allows you to identify and select your Accounting Package. Be careful to select the correct version as export formats and methods can differ between different versions of the same package.

Export Parameters

Production Posting Group

Defines the financial period in which transactions will be created once imported into the accounting package. 

Accounting Period Cut-off Day

Allows you to define if the cut-off is based on the last day of the month, or a specific day (eg. the 25th of each month). This field only appears if the Advanced Period Change checkbox is checked.

Allow 13th Month

This field only appears if the Advanced Period Change checkbox is checked. 

Some accounting packages cater for a 13th financial period for posting related financial transactions (for example, auditor's adjustments or income and expenditure falling in the year but posted after year end). If the agency's accounting officer permits this practice, check the Allow 13th Month checkbox.
