Importing data of Receive Money

Hi All,

 

I am receiving the following error during import:

 

"Error -19: Unbalanced Transaction"

 

I am trying to import a Receive Money transaction with the following details:

 

Dr: 1-1130 Cash — $110.00AUD

Cr: 4-1000 Food Sales — $110.00AUD

The total sale amount of $110.00 is GST-inclusive.

 

I have tried multiple import formats and different field combinations, and I have also attempted to adjust the GST amount to balance the transaction. However, I continue to receive the same error.

 

Could you please advise the correct amounts that should be imported if I want to record a $110 GST-inclusive sale in Australia? 

 

Any guidance or sample import format would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance.

 

Kind regards,

Karen

    Hi KarenBian,

     

    Thanks for sharing the detail. That error usually comes up when the tax amount in the import file doesn’t exactly match what AccountRight calculates from the amount and tax code.

    For a $110.00 GST-inclusive Receive Money transaction in Australia, the usual values would be:

     

    • Deposit/Cash amount: $110.00
    • Income line amount: $100.00
    • GST amount: $10.00
    • Tax code: GST

    So if the income line is being imported as $110.00 with GST on top, AccountRight can read that as unbalanced and return Error -19. A couple of things worth checking:

     

    • Make sure you’re using a Receive Money export from AccountRight as the import template
    • Make sure the file includes the curly brackets {} in the header, as missing these can sometimes cause the fields to map incorrectly
    • Check that the tax amount in the file exactly matches the GST calculated from the line amount and tax code

    If the transaction is meant to be $110.00 total including GST, the income portion should generally be $100.00 and GST should be $10.00, rather than putting the full $110.00 to the income line. 

     

    Regards,
