Chart of Accounts & Accounting Export

Iraca tracks every financial event as a double-entry journal entry using nine internal account types. The Chart of Accounts page lets you map those internal types to the exact account names and numbers used in your accounting software, then export a ready-to-import CSV of your journal entries.

Getting there

Settings → Chart of Accounts

The nine account types

Iraca accountWhat it represents
RevenueSale price on fulfilled orders and POS sales
Accounts ReceivableAmount owed by customers on fulfilled orders
CashFunds received from POS sales

Work in ProgressIngredient cost tied up in an active production run
Finished GoodsCompleted products ready to sell
Cost of Goods SoldCost of products when a sale is made
Accounts PayableAmount owed to suppliers on stock receipts
Owner's EquityWrite-offs and adjustments with no external counterparty

Setting up your mappings

For each row:

  1. Account Name — enter the name exactly as it appears in your accounting software (e.g. Raw Materials Inventory, Sales Revenue). This is what appears in the exported CSV and is matched during import.
  2. Account No. — optional, but recommended. Adding your chart-of-accounts number (e.g. 1200) makes import faster and avoids ambiguity when account names are similar.

Tap Save Mappings when done. Mappings are stored per account; you can update them at any time and the next export will use the new names.

If you leave an account name blank, Iraca's default name is used in exports (e.g. "Inventory Asset"). Fill in all nine for the cleanest import experience.

Exporting journal entries

  1. Set a date range (defaults to the last 30 days).
  2. Click Download CSV.

The file contains one row per journal line with these columns:

Importing into QuickBooks Online

  1. In QuickBooks Online, go to + New → Journal Entry → Import.
  2. Upload the CSV.
  3. Map columns when prompted: Date → Date, Description → Memo, Account → Account, Debit → Debit, Credit → Credit.
  4. Review and confirm.

Importing into Wave

  1. In Wave, go to Accounting → Transactions → Import.
  2. Upload the CSV and follow the column mapping wizard.

Importing into Xero

  1. In Xero, go to Accounting → Manual Journals → Import.
  2. Upload the CSV. Xero expects the same column structure.

Tips

  • Export and import monthly to keep your books current without large backlogs.
  • The export only includes posted entries — draft or voided entries are excluded.
  • If a product has no unit cost set, some entries may be missing. Set unit costs under Inventory → Products to ensure full coverage (see Journal Entries).
