Journal entry CSV import template

Verified as of 2026-09-13

Steps

  1. Sign in to NetSuite with Make Journal Entry permission (and Import CSV File if using Setup → Import/Export).
  2. Preferred template download: go to Transactions → Financial → Make Journal Entries → Import.
  3. On the Import Assistant Scan & Upload page, open the Single Journal Entry Template File link and download the CSV.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Verified as of 2026-09-13

Steps

  1. Ask your AP lead which vendor bill list, saved search, or SuiteAnalytics export your firm uses for spend review.

  3. Filter to the date range; include vendor, date, amount, and expense account when available.
  4. Export to CSV or Excel.
  5. Upload into Meridian’s Import Profile wizard (artifact: AP / vendor bills).

What you should have

CSV/Excel of vendor bills or AP detail for the period.

Gotchas
