Additional Notes
- Importing/adding of receivables, payables and inventory only applies to previous year outstanding balances. Invoices, bills and inventory created in current financial year, has to be re-raised into Financio accordingly.
- The balances you enter depend on whether your Start Date* is also the first month of your financial year. If your conversion month:
- is the first month of your financial year, you enter the opening balances of your asset, liability and equity accounts only.
- is not the first month of your financial year(for example, if your financial year starts in July but your conversion month is September), you can enter the opening balances of all your accounts
