IMPORTANT NOTE

- Please double check all data imported into SQL Accounting from UBS.
- Data might not be 100% accurate because the tool imports direct from UBS database instead of through the UBS software.
- We will appreciate if you would help report any issue encountered with detailed information so we can improve the data import tool.

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.

• Index All Files
