3. What to export

Xero, opening balances

  • Trial Balance at your start date (Accounting, Reports, Trial Balance), exported to Excel.
  • Aged Receivables Detail at the same date.
  • Aged Payables Detail at the same date.
  • Chart of accounts (Accounting, Chart of accounts, Export) and your contacts (Contacts, Export).

Send each report exactly as Xero exports it. Please don't tidy them up first.

Xero, detail

  • Journal Report for the period (Accounting, Reports, Journal Report), exported to Excel.
  • Trial Balance at the day before the period starts.
  • Aged Receivables Detail and Aged Payables Detail at the last day of the period.
  • Chart of accounts (Accounting, Chart of accounts, Export) and your contacts (Contacts, Export).

Don't filter the Journal Report by account: a transaction split across two files can't be rebuilt.

Pastel, opening balances

  • A backup of the company (File, Backup), as the zip file Pastel makes. Don't unzip it.

The backup already holds your chart, customers, suppliers, open items and ledger, and we check every figure against Pastel's own balances. Pick a start date at the end of one of Pastel's periods.
