Most businesses arrive with a mix of spreadsheets, an old invoicing program and folders of PDFs. You do not need to move everything at once. Import the records you work with every day, set your opening balances and carry on from there.
Each type of record has its own import. You match the columns of your file to Alladdin's fields, then check the result.
| Records | What comes across | How |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts | Clients and suppliers with ICE, IF, addresses, payment terms and tags | Excel or CSV import |
| Products and services | Names, references, prices, TVA rate and stock quantities | Excel or CSV import |
| Invoices | Past sales and supplier invoices, so balances and history are complete | Excel or CSV import |
| Chart of accounts and entries | Your accounts and journal entries, or just the opening balances | Import of accounts and entries |
| Bank movements | Statements from each of your bank accounts | CSV or Excel statement import |
| Supplier documents | Receipts and invoices you only have as PDF or paper | Upload to the scanner |
| Team | Employee records, contracts and absences | Entered per employee |
Exact columns and limits for each import are described in the in-app import screen.
This is the order most businesses follow. Your accountant can tell you which date to start the books from.
Pick a clean point, such as the start of a month or of the financial year, from which Alladdin becomes your system of record.
Add your legal details, ICE, IF and RC, your invoice series and your bank accounts.
These are used by every document, so they come first. Try a small file first and check the result.
Import unpaid invoices and the opening balances of your accounts, so what you are owed and what you owe is right from day one.
Invoice from Alladdin from the start date. Older invoices and entries can be added later for reference.
If you have a lot of data or a system with its own export format, there are two more ways in.
Through the API
A developer can script the import of contacts, products and invoices from your old system.
With help
In a demo we look at what you have and tell you which route fits. Partners who implement Alladdin will also be able to help.
Moving to Alladdin does not change how long you must keep your past invoices and books. Keep exports or access to your previous tool, and ask your accountant about the retention rules that apply to your company.
No. You can prepare Alladdin while you keep using your current tool, then switch on the start date you chose.
Any tool or spreadsheet that can export to Excel or CSV. If yours cannot, the API or manual entry are the other routes.
No. Many businesses import only unpaid invoices and opening balances, and keep older records in their previous tool.
Yes. Invite your fiduciaire and they can import the chart of accounts, the opening balances and any entries they want carried over.
Rows with missing or unreadable values, such as a contact without a name, are not imported correctly. Clean the file first and test with a few rows before importing everything.
Create your company and import your first file. Start small, check the result, then bring in the rest.
