Journal entry CSV import template
Verified as of 2026-09-13
Steps
- Sign in to NetSuite with Make Journal Entry permission (and Import CSV File if using Setup → Import/Export).
- Preferred template download: go to Transactions → Financial → Make Journal Entries → Import.
- On the Import Assistant Scan & Upload page, open the Single Journal Entry Template File link and download the CSV.
- Alternative (bulk / saved mappings): Setup → Import/Export → Import CSV Records → Import Type Transactions → Record Type Journal Entry — use a sample CSV that matches your saved mapping, or build from Oracle’s Journal Entry CSV Files examples.
- Upload the template or sample into Meridian’s Export Profile wizard so headers match your import path.
What you should have
CSV with header + line fields (e.g. External ID, Department, Journal Entry -Line: Account / Debit / Credit / Memo). At least two balancing lines per entry.
Gotchas
- Use the 2021.2+ line sublist header names (Journal Entry -Line: …) for automatic mapping.
- OneWorld: journal entries and intercompany journal entries are separate import types — use separate files.
- External ID (or Entry No.) should identify the journal and typically repeats on every line of that entry.
