Modified on Mon, Mar 31 at 1:36 PM


Overview:

Migrating your Chart of Accounts (COA) from another accounting system into QNE AI Cloud
Accounting is simple and efficient. The Data Migration Tool allows you to upload your existing Chart
of Accounts using a CSV file, eliminating the need for manual entry. This ensures accuracy and
saves time when transitioning from another accounting software.


Scenario:

A business using Xero wants to migrate its financial records to QNE AI Cloud Accounting. Instead of
manually recreating the account structure, the import function allows users to efficiently transfer the
existing data in a structured format.


Solution:
1. Access Data Migration Tool

  • Navigate to Company > Tools > Data Migration. Click Upload CSV File to proceed.


  • In the Data Migration screen, under Master Data and then General Setup, click Chart of
    Accounts



2. Download and Prepare the COA CSV File

  • Click Upload CSV Button.


  • Select the external software you are migrating from (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, or other
     accounting systems).


    Note: If you haven't exported the CSV file from your external system yet, Click on the "Click

    Here to Know More" link. This will open a Knowledge Base article that will guide you on how
    to extract the file from other accounting software.



3. Upload the CSV File

  • Click the Click to Upload and select your CSV file.


    File Selection


  • Wait for the confirmation message: File uploaded successfully.



4. Import and Review Data

  • Click Import to process the uploaded data.


  • Review the imported records to ensure accuracy. Then, once verified, click Save Items to
     finalize the import.


  • Once saved, there will be a prompt for a successful import.



Application:

For example, a construction firm switching from Xero to QNE AI Cloud Accounting can:

  • Export its Chart of Accounts from Xero in CSV format.

  • Upload and import it into QNE AI Cloud Accounting in minutes.

  • Immediately start recording transactions without manually recreating accounts.

By following these steps, businesses can seamlessly transition to QNE AI Cloud Accounting,
ensuring accuracy and efficiency in financial management.
