When importing into GL General Journal, one must indicate the account key instead of the account number. This is counter-intuitive for the base MAS 90 or 200 user, who knows his/her account structure but does not necessarily even know that there is an account key that defines the account number. For users who have multiple companies but who use the same base account structure, this involves the user having to know the account key for a specific account number for each company in which he/she wants to import.
Let's make if easier for the user to create the source file for importing large transactions via Visual Integrator by allowing use of the account number instead of the account key.

You don't need to use the account key; you can import the account number.
Standard importing procedure for me is to assign a temp field to the imported account number then calculated the VI account # as a calc field using the temp field.
