Other Updates

Feature

Goldenseal accounting software version 3.3 changes the Other Updates command so it works better to Import brand new data that is not already in your company file.

How to Use

There are three different commands that bring in large amounts of data at once. They all will bring in new records, but they each act differently when incoming records have the same ID as existing records:

• Company File-- Goldenseal skips any incoming records that are already in the current file. It only adds new records.
• Payroll Update-- Goldenseal uses the incoming record data to replace the data in any records with the same ID in the current file.
• Other Update-- If there is a duplicate record, Goldenseal creates a new record with a different ID. That way you can move data between two company files that have different data in the same record numbers.

NOTE-- In Goldenseal accounting software versions 3.2 and earlier, using Other Update works exactly the same as a Payroll Update).
