Flow of Import

--> Stock ( Current Transaction)--> Account ( Opening Balance.. )--> Account (Current Transaction..)

Limitation & Precaution

1. No support for opening balance with foreign currency.

• This is because UBS have two posting (1 local, 1 foreign) for foreign currency transaction and sometimes one of the posting might be missing.

Always import Price History first before AR/AP Opening Balance.

• This is to avoid system from auto-delete AR/AP opening balance when importing Price History with same document number.

This is not applicable for UBS Sage 50.
