Export accounting entries to the accountant

Prepare an accounting export with the destination chart mapping and reconcile its totals before the accountant imports the file.

Before you start

Agree on the destination system, layout, company code, period and chart of accounts with the accountant. Configure the destination account mapping and confirm which posted entries belong to the delivery.

Step by step

1. Select the export configuration

Open Accounting > Accounting Export > Exports. Create a record with the company, configuration and date range. Check the chosen layout and destination chart; do not reuse another company’s mapping without review.

2. Collect and review the entries

Choose Buscar lançamentos. Compare the selected entries with the period’s ledger and review unmapped accounts, partners and required identification. Correct missing mappings and collect the entries again if necessary.

3. Generate and reconcile the delivery

Choose Gerar arquivo and download the result. Compare entry counts and debit and credit totals with the reviewed selection. Send through the company’s agreed channel and retain the accountant’s import result with the export record. Check for previous delivery of the same period to avoid duplicate imports.

Expected result

A traceable export whose entries and totals agree with Odoo, with destination import feedback recorded separately.

If something goes wrong

For an unmapped account, fix the approved destination mapping rather than changing the original posting to fit the file. A generated file does not prove successful import. Use financial or MIS reports for comparison with matching company, dates and posted-entry filters.
