Yes, you can import some of your data from your previous software by updating the details in the spreadsheet available on Deskera Books. Deskera users are allowed to transfer the opening balance of their accounts, products, and contacts to our system.

1. Go to the Accounting tab on the sidebar menu >> Click on Opening Balance

Click on Accounting --> Opening Balance
  1. You will see three different tabs on the page:
  • Accounts
  • Inventory
  • Contacts: Can choose to import both opening sales invoices and opening bills

In the respective tab, click on the import button.

Please take note to download the spreadsheet from our software only instead of using your own excel sheet.
