Importing Timeslips Data

Importing into your company data

Ensure that you have set up your Path to Chart of Accounts correctly in your Timeslips program.

Importing to multicompanies

When importing Timeslips Journal Entries to multicompanies, remember to change the Path to Chart of Accounts within your Timeslips program.

Note: You must select the Timeslips Link check box in Sage Line 50 before you enter the path to your company data. You should also amend TAL accounts linked to Sage Line 50 where necessary.

Importing and the system date

Ensure that your Sage Line 50 program date and the system date are the same before you import your Timeslips data into your Line 50 program. If the dates are different the import will fail.

Tax Codes and Timeslips

You can now import accounting journals from your Timeslips program directly into Sage Line 50 version. By default, the accounting journals are imported with a tax code T9. If you want to change the tax code used when you import your accounting journal entries, you must edit your sage.ini file.

To edit your sage.ini file

1. From within Windows, select Start and then choose Run.

The Run window appears.

2. In the Open text box, type sage.ini and click OK.

The sage.ini file opens in Notepad.

3. In the section named [SG50] add the following line.

[SG50]

TimeslipsTaxCode=X

X represents the tax code you want to use for journal imports. For example, to set up the link to use the T1 tax code, you would enter the following.

[SG50]

TimeslipsTaxCode=1

4. To save your changes, open the File menu and choose Save.

You have now changed the tax code used to import your accounting journals from Timeslips.
