Import Accounts Payable Multicurrency Vouchers

Use this preprocessor to import vouchers that are not in Costpoint's functional currency using an ASCII file, comma-separated values (CSV) file, or input tables.

The data to be imported must be in a single currency. Multiple currencies require a separate upload file or rows in the tables. You can import both open payables and paid vouchers in this screen.

  • To view and edit the transactions loaded by this process, use the Manage Accounts Payable Vouchers screen. 
  • To review the transactions loaded by this process, use the Print Voucher Edit Report screen.

There are two ways to work with input files in Costpoint:

  • You can access the input file from the network by using Alternate File Locations.
  • You can upload the input file to the Costpoint database; in which case, no further access to network folders is necessary.

If you decide to use the first option, click in the File Location field to select an alternate file location. If you choose the second option, leave the File Location field blank and use the File Upload Manager to upload the input file to the Costpoint database.
