How to Bulk Upload Files

How to Bulk Upload Files

About the bulk upload option

When you get to the file upload page, you have the option to upload just one file or many files at once. If you choose to bulk upload files, then your contact details and selected package will apply to all files uploaded, saving you lots of time if you have many to convert in one go.

Note that:
  1. The same selected package will be applied to all files. If you want to receive different amounts of transactional history, then you need to group the files into 'like' batches for uploading.
  2. The same contact details will be applied to all files.  If you want to have different contacts on the conversions, then you need to group the files into 'like' batches for uploading.
  3. It will only work if the source accounting software type is the same. We cannot process bulk uploads with a mix of types, e.g. MYOB, QBO, Reckon, etc. 
  4. You cannot bulk upload a mix of desktop and online files.
  5. If you select a paid premium package, it will be applied to all conversions, and you will have to pay for them all via credit card to proceed, though you will only need to pay once for the entire upload.

How to upload the files

DESKTOP FILES

1. Create a folder and move all of the files to be converted into the folder.

2. Zip the folder to reduce its file size.

3. Upload the zipped folder on the upload page. Select 'Upload Your File' and click on 'Browse File'. 



4. Please be patient while it is uploading. Our software may require a little time to process the upload if there are many files.

5. Fill in your contact details and click the green 'Proceed' button. Your conversions are now in progress.

ONLINE FILES


1. Download the CSV for bulk upload of online files from the upload page by clicking on 'csv template' in '2. Start your conversion'.



2. Fill out the CSV with the list of company names you are converting in that bulk upload. Do NOT edit or change the first line 'organisation_name'.
IMPORTANT: The names in the list must be the same as the company names in the source accounting software so that we can make a match.



3. Upload the CSV on the upload page.

For Australian clients:
Select either 'Bulk Upload QuickBooks Online (AUS) or 'Bulk Upload MYOB Online (AUS)' then click on 'Browse File'.



For United States clients:
Select 'Upload Your File' and click on 'Browse File'.




4. Fill in your contact details and click the green 'Proceed' button. Your conversions are now in progress.

Next steps

The status of all of the conversions will be displayed in a table on your Status Page. If any conversion requires action to be taken, there will be a link to that conversion's unique URL where you can take that action.



You also be sent an email if we require something from you, e.g. a password or access to your online accounting software. Please keep an eye out for emails from us as the conversions progress.

Conversion Complete

When each conversion is completed, you will be sent an email with the post-conversion Action Checklist attached. This checklist is unique for every file converted, so be sure to go through each one.

The amount of time it takes to convert is dependent on file size and data complexity. Some of your conversions will be completed more quickly than others - they will not all be delivered at the same time.
