Export / import data

1

Hi
I am currently using Manager to manage the books for 2 businesses - 1 sole trader (A) / 1 partnership (B) both on Cash Basis.
Due to structural changes in these I want to:
1 Move approx 3 months of data from B to A - Export / import ?
OR
2 Split the manager file for B ie. could have used the start date setting but it has been removed.
AND
Not hand enter starting balances for all accounts :slight_smile:

What I am trying to achieve is a merging of B with A for a particular date range.
Using version 22.1.28 - operating system won’t allow later version. Because of the way that Manager updates file structure cannot go back to an early version to get start date setting.

Or can I edit the sqlite (changes / objects / commits) directly

You cannot merge or split businesses.

  1. Backup your business
  2. Re import the business
  3. Change it’s name
  4. Delete the data not applicable to this business going forwards.
  5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 for other businesses going forwards

You can also move data between businesses by

  1. Batch update in the source business
  2. Delete the “Key” field / column
  3. Use this data to batch create in the destination business

Thanks for the quick response and particularly the info about the “key” field
