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.
