Importing a CSV-file (spreadsheet)

If you don't have a bank feed or have a record of transactions from a spreadsheet you can import your spreadsheet on bank CSV statement directly into the software.

CSV-file checklist

• Save the spreadsheet as CSV-file, this is possible from most devices

• Ensure all cells are formatted as text

• Ensure no rows are empty

• Delete any ‘Total’ rows or rows where the transaction value is ‘0’

Use the ApariPro spreadsheet template

• Download the ApariPro CSV template

• Copy and paste your transactions into the structure

• Save the file as a CSV

How to import

• Go to Record Keeping and select Import CSV-file

• Select the transaction source from the dropdown

• Select Choose File to upload your CSV, then click Continue

• Map the fields by matching your file headers to APARI column headers

• Select Import to finalise the upload

The data will be added to your unassigned transactions.

Once your bank feed is connected and the transactions are fed into ApariPro, you can allocate them to the correct categories which will update the correct boxes on your tax submission form. This will allow you to keep on top of your income and tax-deductible payments such as business expenses, charitable donations and pension contributions.

To view Unassigned Transactions: Go to the Record Keeping section and select ‘View All’ to see the unassigned transactions.

Select Transactions to Assign: Select the circle next to the transaction(s) you want to assign. You can assign them individually or group them together by selecting multiple transactions. You can filter the unassigned transactions by name, date, bank account, income or expense.

Choose Business Source & Category: From the dropdown menus in the bottom right corner, select the appropriate Business Source and Category for the transaction(s). Select ‘Apply’ to confirm and assign the transactions. 

By selecting the 3 dots on the transaction and selecting ‘Edit’ you can also add notes and upload an invoice/ receipt to a transaction by uploading via browse files or dragging and dropping your file into the upload box.
