Import Balances

Getting Started #

Once your setup tables are loaded, the next phase is importing financial balances into Vista. This includes data such as:

  • GL beginning balances
  • Open AP and AR invoices
  • Job cost balances
  • Equipment balances

In Vista, balance imports require batch processes and manual adjustments, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. TAD simplifies this with Implementation Balance templates, ensuring structured, validated data imports.

Steps to Import Balances #

  1. Determine Required Balance Imports
    • Identify which financial data must be imported for a smooth transition.
  2. Populate the Balance Import Templates
    • Use TAD Implementation Balance templates to structure your data properly.
  3. Validate the Data
    • Check for missing values, incorrect formats, and duplicate records before import.
  4. Load Balances into Vista
    • Use TAD Import to process balances quickly and efficiently.
  5. Reconcile Data and Run Reports
    • Verify imported balances using financial reports and trial balances.
    • Confirm that AP, AR, Job Cost, and GL totals match.

Practicing balance imports in your Test Company before going live will prevent operational delays and ensure a smooth financial transition.
