This guide shows how to switch the accounting system for an existing company in Accountflow.

Oppdatert for over 3 uker siden

💡 It is not possible to change the accounting system on an existing client in Accountflow, as this would delete all reconciliations. Instead, you must create a new client with the desired system. See how-to-guides for the different systems in the collection Setup & Integrations.

Step by step: Change accounting system

1. Edit the existing company

  • Go to Company under Settings & Admin in the menu on the left.

  • Click the pencil icon in the Actions column for the relevant company.

2. Change name and organization number

  • Change the name to e.g. Company name – OLD to distinguish the old client from the new one.

  • Add a dash after the organization number. This prevents the system from retrieving new a-messages for the old client.

  • Finish by clicking Save.

3. Deactivate the old client (optional)

  • Go back to Company under Settings & Admin.

  • Select the company in the list and click Deactivate in the top right.

💡 If users without Super Admin access should still be able to see the old client, you should not deactivate it.

4. Create a new client with the correct system

  • Create a new client with the desired accounting system.

  • Follow the guide: How to set up a new company


Tips for transferring data

  • Download report packages from the old client before deactivating it, so you have documentation available.

  • Copy manual settings such as groups, users, and accounts if they should be reused.

  • Import history with SAF-T if the new accounting system supports export. This way, you can include past vouchers and balances.

  • Compare the clients manually to ensure everything is included in the new setup.

💡 There is currently no transfer function between clients, but you can retrieve the most important data manually.
