Postcode Programming API  PostTrans XL Visual Importer: Import Exchequer General Ledger records


This PostTrans spreadsheet allows the user to easily Import/Extract/Amend General Ledger data in Exchequer Enterprise.   It uses a series of tags, placed in row 1, to identify the data to be Imported/Extracted/Amended.  These tags can be easily added to a spreadsheet using the [Design] button, on the PostTrans Toolbar.  The data is read from row 3 onwards, which allows you to put user descriptions in row 2.  Click here for more Information on Designing templates.
