Export to A3
Aikount exports your journal to the A3 format (Wolters Kluwer's accounting suite: a3ASESOR, a3ECO, a3CON), so your accounting firm can import it without retyping the entries.
What it is and what it's for
Many accounting firms in Spain work with A3. Instead of handing them PDFs or a spreadsheet someone has to re-key by hand, Aikount generates the accounting-link file SUENLACE.DAT: the standard format A3 knows how to import.
- Your books are already on the Spanish chart of accounts, with their entries in the journal.
- The export writes those entries into
SUENLACE.DAT. - Your accountant imports the file into A3 and the postings go straight in, with no retyping.
The result: fewer transcription errors and fewer hours of your firm re-entering what Aikount already has recorded.
How it works
- The export takes the journal entries for the period you choose.
- Each entry keeps its PGC accounts, dates and amounts.
- Sales and purchase invoices don't travel as plain postings: they go out as VAT invoices (type 1/2 + 9 records of the accounting link), with customer or supplier, tax ID, taxable base, rate, VAT amount, withholding and regime (domestic, intra-EU, export, reverse charge, import). A3 posts the entry and fills its VAT register, so your accountant can prepare the 303 and 349 directly, without A3's separate invoice-importer module.
- Credit notes and corrective invoices are exported as type 2 records referencing the corrected invoice.
- Every other entry (collections, bank reconciliation, adjustments, payroll…) is exported as plain postings (type 0).
- If you only want the journal, untick Include invoices with VAT when exporting: everything will go out as type 0 postings.
- The
SUENLACE.DATfile is generated to hand to your accountant.
Check that the exported period matches what your accountant is going to post (for example, a full quarter) so you don't duplicate entries or leave any out.
Before you export
- Make sure the period's purchases and sales are recorded and categorized.
- Check balances in the ledger if something doesn't add up.
