FAQ

Why the SO or PH Deposit is not Imported even the XML had the information?

It because the D_DocNo field can't set. User had to export the OR/PV from Customer Payment/Supplier Payment

Why AR_PM, AR_CN, AP_SP & AP_SC can't don't had the Replace Action?

It due to Gain Loss it can't be replace.
