Link a Dossier to an Accounting Package or Import an Audit File

Factview processes financial data on a per financial year basis. In most cases, this is a calendar year, but it can also be a non-calendar financial year. If your organization uses a non-calendar financial year, the dossier's basic settings must be configured before importing data.

Ways to Import Data​

Factview supports two methods of importing financial data:

  • Connect to an accounting package

  • Import an audit file

Connect to an Accounting Package​

Factview supports integrations with various accounting packages, including:

  • Exact Online

  • Exact Globe

  • Kluwer / Twinfield

  • SnelStart

  • Multivers / UNIT4 / Boekhoudgemak

  • e-Boekhouden

A connection creates a direct link between Factview and the selected accounting package.

Data is retrieved for each dossier and financial year and can be updated at any time. During an update, only new or modified data is processed, ensuring the dossier always remains up to date.

Administrative permissions within the selected accounting package are required to create and use a connection.

Import an Audit File​

An audit file is an XML file (.XAF) that contains a snapshot of a financial administration.

Supported versions include CLAIR 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.

When an audit file is imported, the data is not only read but also processed within Factview.

During the import process, Factview:

  • Validates the audit file for structure and consistency.

  • Creates or updates general ledger accounts within the dossier.

  • Converts financial transactions into period totals.

  • Stores the imported data as an Import Set.

  • Links the Import Set to a Dataset, which determines which data is available in reports.

Unlike a direct connection, an audit file is a static import. New or updated data only becomes available after importing a new audit file.
