Prior to commencing this stage you should have completed the steps noted under General Ledger Interface, Configuration to link finPOWER Connect to your General Ledger by setting up a chart of accounts that matches the chart of accounts in your General Ledger, and then linking each element to the correct account.
The General Ledger Export allows journal & bank transactions to be exported from finPOWER Connect, in a format suitable for importing into a separate General Ledger system such as Intersoft's emPOWER General Ledger.
