Export Format Options

If you are exporting your data to an external accounting package, ensure you have set up the External Account information in GL Account Setup . The software uses the External Account information as the default format for your accounting system.

Select the export format you want to use in the company preferences accounting tab

Export formats supported are to the right. They are explained in detail in the help pages that follow.

The GL Reports can only be exported once a day. The GL Entry is flagged as being exported when it is done via the EOD Wizard so it's not exported twice by mistake.

During the export process, the External Account field will be automatically parsed into the 2 separate values for ACCNT and NAME when a backslash (\) is within the External Account field.

Common Questions

QB IIF: TRNSTYPE error - if you receive this error during the QuickBook's import process, it means you have set Theatre Manager to use the incorrect QuickBook's version that you are using. The TRNSTYPE, is a keyword that identifies the type of transaction.
  • (2007-2018 export) It will default to Journal for General Journal transactions.
  • (2019 and later export) It will default to General Journal for General Journal transactions.
The solution is to alter the QuickBook's Export version in the Account Export Formats to use the correct version.
QuickBooks has a requirement that a valid Customer/Vendor is included when posting to the built-in Accounts Receivable or Accounts Payment accounts. QuickBooks can not assign a receivable or a payable to 'nobody', it requires a Customer/Vender that is previously set up within QuickBooks.

The solution is as simple as avoiding any postings directly to the QuickBooks account types of Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Rather, create a separate standard (non A/R) asset account and call it (for example) "A/R for Theatre Manager" and separate liability account and call it (for example) "A/P for Theatre Manager" and reference those account numbers in Theatre Manager's External Account value (name or number) used to create the export file. This way, there is no need to maintain Customers/Payees/Vendors in the export file as these accounts are just standard Asset / Liability and not linked to a special account type.

This way when you import the amount into QuickBooks, it will go against the standard asset account and not against the built-in accounts receivable account in QuickBooks.

When you want to see the details that make up the "A/R for Theatre Manager" or the "A/P for Theatre Manager" account, go directly to Theatre Manager for the details, rather than QuickBooks.

To recap, create a standard Asset & and a standard Liability account to use to post to in QuickBooks.

QuickBooks help may say to turn off account numbers in Quickbooks. DO NOT TURN THEM OFF.

This is the best to match TM accounts to Quickbooks using a field that generally should never change.
