By clicking on the document split option(s) for either Excel file or XML, the software will generate separate transaction or account files for each transaction type.

For instance, not ticking the document split in Fig. 2.3l below will result in the software combining all the transaction details of each transaction type and exporting them into a single Excel sheet. In this instance, the name of such a file will start with ‘CTR Account,’ in the case of the Transaction Excel file, type the file name with ‘CTR Transaction’. If you select ‘split Excel transaction file’ as in Fig. 2.4j below, the Software will write the transaction details of each transaction type in separate Excel files. This is also the case for XML. The different files will bear the name of each transaction type.
