In Nimble AMS, all the details of financial transactions are recorded and organized in batches. Association typically have their own General Ledger (GL) system(s) where they track the organization's financial data, like transactions, as the comprehensive source of truth for all financial information. Nimble AMS GL Export functionality allows Associations to keep their financial data in sync between Nimble AMS and the GL system by providing a way to export financial transactions in groups from Nimble AMS which can then be imported into the GL system.

Nimble AMS staff users already have this ability to export transaction data via batches and import it into the GL system. With the GL Exports feature, Nimble AMS customers can use a single solution to export GL files from Nimble AMS in any of the three file formats (.csv, .txt, and .iif). With more flexibility, you can easily set up exports for these formats with point and click configuration. This feature also provides you with pre-configured options to export GL files for the below standard GL systems:

• Sage Intacct
• QuickBooks Online
• QuickBooks Desktop
• Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains

This makes it even easier for associations to keep financial information in sync. Furthermore, it reduces set up time required and also gives greater flexibility, should an association ever change their GL system in the future.

Benefits

• Easy Configuration: Pre-configured options and an enhanced single solution reduce the setup time required and make it easier for transactions to be exported.

• Ability for Point-and-Click Configuration: Point-and-click configuration in GL Exports enables you to customize the columns to display on the GL file, and the data for those columns.

• Future-Use Flexibility: The availability of all three commonly used file formats (.csv, .txt., and .iif) in a single package enables you to change your GL system without compatibility issues with Nimble AMS.

Batch Export Configuration

You can export the financial transactions created in Nimble AMS to your general ledger (GL) in the format needed by your GL system. You need to create a batch export configuration record for the format you require. You must do this by selecting specific apex class in export generator field, that controls the format of the GL file. The Export Generator field sets the Apex class, which controls the file format of the GL Export. Then, on each entity for which you need GL Exports, you set the Batch Export Configuration that will be used for the entity's export files. Nimble AMS supports export for the following GL systems:
