SIMPLY PAYROLL IMPORT: The import file does not have the correct number of columns.

Simply version 2008 export has dropped a column from the export. We are currently working on a change for this, but in the meantime you can edit the export file in excel, and add a blank column just prior to the “Account Description” column.

The procedure for exporting from Simply Accounting is detailed in the help file under Simply Accounting Payroll Import.

The file format System Five is expecting is:

• Unordered List Item
• column 1 Cheque Date
• column 2 Journal Number
• column 3 Cheque Number
• column 4 cheque Name
• column 5 blank or gl account (this column, usually blank is missing in 2008)
• column 6 GL account/description
• column 7 debits
• column 8 credits
