Steps
- Sign in to Sage Intacct with a Business user who can open Company Setup.
- Go to Company → Setup → Configuration → Import data (Company Setup Checklist).
- Find the section Set up General Ledger transactions.
- On the General Ledger journal entries line, select Template and download the file.
- Alternative: Go to General Ledger → All → Journal entries → Import (or Import transactions) → Download template.

What you should have
Company-customized CSV/XLSX with header row, description row, then data columns including JOURNAL, DATE, DESCRIPTION, LINE_NO, ACCT_NO, DEBIT/CREDIT, plus your dimensions.
Gotchas
- Templates are customized per company (dimensions). Always download a fresh template before mapping.
- Save as plain CSV (not UTF CSV) when Intacct will re-import the file later.
- Data typically starts on row 3 after header and description rows.
- If you cannot open Import data, ask your Intacct administrator for the template.
