Overview
In the situation where you want to export to an accounting package where the accounting package has different codes from FactoryMaster, you can set up a translation between the FM code and the accounting package code. You can do this for Nominal Codes, Department Codes, Supplier Codes, Customer Codes, VAT Codes and Currency Codes.
How do I do this?
There are different areas you can set these up, depending on whether this is for Purchase or Sales.
If Sales, then follow the steps below:
Follow the Menu Path Sales - Sales Invoice Menu - Export Sales Invoices to Dimensions (or another accounts package)
Choose the relevant code that you wish to set up the translation for (eg Nominal Code Translation)
Press Ctrl+M to enter Modify Mode.
Find the Nominal Code you wish to enter the translation for, and in the right-hand column 'Dimensions (or another accounts package) Nominal Code', enter the Nominal Code that it needs to be within your accounting package.
If Purchase, then do the same as above, only follow the Menu Path Purchase - Purchase Invoice Menu - Export Purchase Invoices to Dimensions (or another accounts package)
