Notes

Transaction Date

The GL date, typically in the following format: MM/DD/YYYY. If your regional settings are different, make sure to test your import to verify your dates are being imported as expected.

It is recommended to include some indication that this was imported, so that users will be able to see this when looking up the transactions later. Maximum length is 30 characters.

Account Number

This should be your entire account number, including delimiters. For example: 1100-00-000.
