Export journals to Xero / MYOB / QBO

Hand the accountant a CSV in the format their system imports — Xero (Manual Journals), MYOB AccountRight (General Journal), QuickBooks Online (Journal Entries), or a Generic file with every FlecBase field. FlecBase stays the operational ledger; the accounting system stays the official books — and the two reconcile cent-for-cent. (Pair with Invoice export for the sales-side documents and Week-ending batches for cycle-driven batching.)

Each format emits the exact columns its target expects. Xero uses a single signed Amount column and groups rows via Narration. MYOB uses separate Amount + Is Credit (Y/N) columns and groups via Journal Number. QBO uses separate Debits + Credits columns and account names (not codes). Generic dumps every field with ISO dates.

Every line uses the target's "not applicable" tax code (Xero BAS Excluded, MYOB N-T, QBO Out of Scope) — because the journal already splits GST into its own balanced line, re-applying tax at import would double-count.

Account codes use external_code from the Chart of Accounts when set, falling back to the canonical FlecBase code. Set external_code on every CoA row once, and every future export lands on the codes the accountant already uses.

Every export run is logged to journal_exports — format, date range, journal IDs, totals (journals / lines / debit / credit), exported_by, filename. Answers "did I already give the accountant this batch?" without recomputing.
