Merging Files

Approaches you could take to merge files.

  • Export then Import Method – In this approach you export data as CSV (spreadsheet files) from one Saasu file and import it into the second Saasu file after cleaning and aligning the data. In Saasu you can take this approach of exporting your data into Saasu.csv files and importing them back into your other Saasu file. You would then need to apply payments to all your Sales/Purchases, etc, that you imported and then get those Bank Accounts used for payments reconciled again as that isn’t covered in our import methods. You would need to run Trial balance and General Ledger reports in both files and be sure they match.
  • Re-keying Data Method – If your file has a smaller amount of transactions it may be simpler re-key the transactions into the new file.
  • Closing to Opening Balances Method – Close off one file at year end and enter the closing balances into a journal into the main file as a single Journal entry. Then you only need to refer to the old file occasionally. You could also get a bit clever and enter a journal representing each monthly, quarter, or annual change. Then your multi-year reports in your main file will have carried over results and make more sense historically.

Transfer Data between Files

You can export all your Accounts, Contacts, and Items from your file so that you can import them back into a new file. You can do this from the View > Import and Export area.

Start Again

Transfer Files between Subscriptions

  1. The new administrator taking over the accounting file signs up to a paid version of Saasu at the equivalent plan level or higher of the file being transferred to them.
  2. The current administrator for the file signs into Saasu and clicks the COG Icon and then Contact Us.
  3. Choose My Saasu Subscription (My Account) from the Subject list
  4. Request a transfer of the file to the new adminstrator.
    ” I’d like to transfer my file ownership to John Smith on “xyz@sample.com”
    Saasu checks that the new administrators email address matches and that a subscription is active and then transfers the file.

NOTE: any unused subscription fees are not transferred to the new file owner.

Subscription impact when selling your business

When you sell a business this may be done in several ways and the typical effect on your accounts is outlined below for the two highly common situations (simplified). Please speak to your advisor for your specific circumstance. This is a complicated area and people often get it wrong. This ATO page has a good list of business sale considerations to discuss with your accounting advisor.

Business Sale (aka Trade Sale or Goodwill Sale)

You keep your accounting file but may be required to export a copy of Contacts (Customers and Suppliers) to provide to the new owner. You may be required to provide copies of key financial statements and records such as recent Sales, Purchases and Asset Registers (but typically not a handover your entire accounting file).

The subscription and accounting file remains yours

Business Share Sale (aka Equity Sale. e.g Shareholders sell their shares in a PTY LTD company via a Share Sale of shares)

You will likely be required to handover access to the accounts to the new shareholders.

The subscription and accounting file is transferred to an admin for the new owner because the accounts remain the property and record of the business.

Tax or Legal Structure Change

Sometimes businesses start as sole traders or partnerships and later change to a Company or Corporation. To handle this situation in Saasu you may need to create a new file and run two files in parallel. When you are finished with the old file you can delete the file from the Manage Subscription area so that you aren’t paying for two files. Please note as per our Terms of Service, Saasu may delete content and data, from an old file that is no longer being paid for, at a time of our choosing but not within 30 days.
