    Hi CropServ 

     

    Thank you for the details and files. 

     

    I tested importing your job file with AccountRight v2022.6 sample company file by creating a header account called 'ARCHIV2021-2022', all jobs imported successfully (with some warnings).

     

    I think the problem you are having resides with job 'ARCHIV2021-2022' in your company file, it needs to be a header job in order to move all the other jobs under it, and error -4131 indicates that it cannot be made into a header because this job has allocations in your transactions files. If that is the case, you can look into renaming it then create a new header account with the desired name then move the jobs under it. And I do suggest using 'Auto match' instead of 'Match all'.

     

    Please feel free to let us know how you go.

Thank you Clover. Didn't even look at the header button.
