Select Transfer From ParishSOFT Offering or Logos II Contributions
Browse for the file you exported from Logos II, it should be a CSV file.
The first time you import into ParishSOFT Accounting you will be prompted to map (associate) each of the Logos II Funds in the batch with an income account(s) in ParishSOFT Accounting. The next time you import a batch ParishSOFT Accounting will remember the association.
After associating the funds, click Submit.
You will then select which bank account for this deposit. Note: Logos II batch must only contain deposits to a single checking account. MARK THE SELECT BOX for those items you want to import.
Click Submit to complete the transfer. The deposits will be created based on the date(s) in the batch imported.
You can then view your deposit using the Deposit Register Report.
Note: for setting up Logos II and Preferences to work with ParishSOFT Accounting.
- The file that Logos II exports for importing into ParishSOFT Accounting does not contain any accounting account number information, only the Logos II Fund information. So there is nothing the user needs to do in manage funds or preferences. If they do have account numbers in their manage funds it does not hurt anything. There is nothing special in Preferences that a user must do.
- The first time a user imports into ParishSOFT Accounting they will be prompted to map the Logos II funds to the correct income account, ParishSOFT Accounting will remember this information for the next import.
- They will also be prompted to identify which checking account this batch should be posted to.
- The Logos II batch should only contain deposits to a single checking account, as there is not a way in ParishSOFT Accounting to divide an imported batch into separate checking accounts.
- If a batch in Logos II contains two different dates, ParishSOFT Accounting will treat this as two different deposits in the import.
