When creating a manual entry of type JG in the general accounting journal, importing an entry into JurisÉvolution is possible from an Excel file (.xlsx) or from a tab-separated encoded file (.txt) only.

This way of quickly creating a new entry is in addition to the existing way of using an entry template.

There are several ways to import. Please note that depending on the method chosen, the import criteria and the configuration of the file to be used may vary.

Clipboard mode: Copy/paste the file contents into the dedicated window

The easiest way to import information.

  • From an Excel file (.xlsx) with the correct column naming, copy the content (the entry) directly into the file and paste it into the dedicated window.

  • Accept the import with the black check mark.

Clipboard mode: Drag the file into the dedicated window

  • Drag the tab-separated encoded file (.txt) with the correct column naming into the dedicated clipboard window

  • Accept the import with the black check mark.

Clipboard mode: Drag the file directly into the postings window

  • Drag the tab-separated encoded file (.txt) with the correct column naming into the postings window (the default window for making a post).

What to know

  • If the GL account used in the entry does not exist in the software, it is still imported into the transaction window. It is when the purchase is saved that it is validated.

  • The description is imported as defined in the file (or clipboard), it may differ from the account description.

  • If the Description column is not in the import, the account description is used.

  • If the Description column is in the import, but is empty for a row, the description is imported empty in the assignments for the account.

  • All decimal symbols and number groupings possible in the office preferences are interpreted in the file, and displayed according to the chosen preference.

    • Exemple : 1200.50 or 1200,50 or 1 200.50 or 1 200,50

    • 1,200.50 is not considered. If the amount is entered as such, the entry imports 0.

  • Both negative number formats -600 or (600) are supported.

  • The data in the optional column "Office" must correspond to the ID of the offices in the software. Otherwise, the Office field is empty in the assignments.
