1. The one-time setup of the chart of accounts can be accessed in the Company>Setup>Accounting screen
   Once in that screen, each account can be edited. Each account that is exported will need to match a similar account within your respective accounting package.
   Click on the top right edit button to edit the defaults.
2. There are two edit buttons on the right hand side of the screen. The top right edit button is for defaults. The bottom right button is to edit the accounts.
3. In the upper left hand corner you will see the Accounting Basis that allows you to choose either Cash or Accrual. The basic difference between Cash and Accrual accounting is that cash revenue is determined by what charges are paid, and accrual revenue is determined by what is charged.
   There are several accounts with the accrual option that would not be used with cash: Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Rent Liabilities, Credits Issued and Write-Off Bad Debt.
4. Choose the accounting program that you would like to export to. The export will be in the appropriate format that the respective program expects.
5. In the upper right hand corner you will see accrual options. The options only affect accrual accounting not cash.
6. On the main Accounting screen, highlight an account and click on the bottom right edit button. Edit the account to be named and numbered the way you would like for it to be exported.
   For example, a default account is named 'Check Assets' with a sub account of Checks. If your bank account is named Bank of America Checking, change 'Check Assets' to Bank of America Checking. You can also edit the sub account name or delete it entirely. To export the general journal entries report click on the reports section of the program.
7. Choose General Journal Entries
8. Once you have selected the General Journal Entries choose the respective date that you would like to export. Click on the Export Journal Entry File.
9. Choose the location that you would like to save the file. It is suggested that you create a folder such as "SiteLink Accounting Download."
