AVANTAGE

What AVANTAGE files are required:

File name	Information imported
Identif.dbf	Profile of all clients on the system, which is stored in the directory parent to the Client's directory.
All remaining files are stored in the Client's directory.
?? Solde.dbf	Accounting Dates

Note:

For both Trial balance and GL imports, the following files are mandatory: identif.dbf (company info), solde.dbf (accounting dates) and livre.dbf (accounting balances).

How to do it:

Before importing, gather all the required files under a single directory.
On the File menu, select Import, and then Accounting Software.
In the Import From box, select AVANTAGE Progression.
In the Version box, select the version of AVANTAGE Progression you want to import.
In the Import Path box, type the exact path to the directory used in step 1. Use the Browse button to locate the file manually.
Under Import Components, choose to import either the Trial Balance or the full General Ledger Detail. The Chart of Accounts is automatically imported.
Select the Import Client Information check box to import engagement properties such as name, address, and contact information from the import file.
In the Select Ident.dbf if not in 'import Path' field, type the exact path to the Ident.dbf file. Use the Browse button to locate the file manually. If this box is left blank, Working Papers looks in the directory selected for the import path.
If there is more than one company entered in the AVANTAGE data, enter its identification number in the Company No. box.
Select either the Import current year button or the Import prior year as current button.
To import budget or prior year balances into the Working Papers file, select the applicable check box.

If you would like to use English wording for your account description, check the applicable box. Note that not all French account descriptions get translated into English and using this option may result in some accounts with blank descriptions.

All GL imports	GJ, SJ, and PL

To exclude GIFI code numbers from the import, make sure the Skip GIFI data check box is checked.
