Import journal entries into Odoo

Import journal entries per journal using an import file. Fill columns A to C on a single row so Odoo recognises the lines as one journal entry. This lets you load a complex recurring payroll entry in one go.

An import file lets you load journal entries into Odoo. Handy, for example, to load a complex recurring payroll journal entry in one go instead of posting it line by line.

How to structure the file

Make sure columns A through C are filled on a single row. That is the only way Odoo recognises that the lines belong to one journal entry. You import records per journal.
