Exporting Revenue Account totals
Each time the revenue report is run for a single day, the totals will be saved to the glexport file.
This file holds the totals until you choose to export them to Quickbooks. Totals will only be
saved if you run the revenue report for a single day. They will not be saved if it is run for more
than a day at a time.
If you re-run the revenue report for a single day any totals already saved will be discarded and
replaced with the new totals. If the totals have already been exported then they are not
discarded.
1. Go to Main->Register Functions->Revenue Report and run the revenue report for a
single day. Totals are saved to glexport.
2. Go to Main->Houskeeping->Accounting Integration->GL Export Report. Select Unexported transactions and click Ok. The report will show all the transactions to be
exported. Confirm that they are correct.
3. Go to Main->Houskeeping->Accounting Integration->Export AP/GL. Make sure Export x
GL transactions is checked. Click Ok. The Profit System will export the revenue report
totals to Quickbooks.
