Olivs features importing multiple transactions from using CSV file, as well as view and remove entire import, if e.g. posted to an incorrect bank account.

If you’re looking to import single transaction with multiple lines (e.g. Opening Balances): this feature is in General Journal and Bank Transaction forms.

Importing is a two-step process:

• Import transactions to Bank Entries form – this step is described below.
• Adjust, validate and post transactions to accounts in Bank Entries just like manually entered transactions. This step is described in Bank Entries.

How to import transactions to Olivs:

1. Go to Bank Entries and select ‘Manage Entries Import’, then select ‘Import transactions from file’
2. Select CSV file
3. Select bank account on which all transactions were made
4. Click ‘Show Records’
5. Assign columns and check automatic mapping by Olivs. Mapping details are below.
6. Select records you wish to import – to select all, hit the checkbox in header
7. Select ‘Import selected records’ and choose whether you want to use validation now

Transactions are imported to Bank Entries form. If there are any transactions already, they may mix and create duplication, or incorrect entries. Olivs will check existing entries and prompt you to:

• Delete existing entries in Bank Entries and continue import
• Keep existing entries and add this import to the list
• Abort import and move to Bank Entries
