Migration guide

Move your data from Alegra

Alegra does not accept requests from a browser on a key you can create, so its data comes across by its own export file. You drop the file, see how the columns map, and each record lands once.

What moves

What comes across

  • Chart of accounts

    Lands in Calisto as Records · 12 fields

    Your accounts, with their codes and types. Bring these first: everything else names them.

  • Customers

    Lands in Calisto as Contacts · 15 fields

    The people and companies you invoice.

  • Suppliers

    Lands in Calisto as Contacts · 15 fields

    The people and companies who bill you.

  • Trial balance at your switch date

    Lands in Calisto as Records · 10 fields

    Every account’s balance on the day your books start in Ledger. It becomes your opening balances.

  • Unpaid invoices at your switch date

    Lands in Calisto as Invoices · 15 fields

    Invoices customers still owe you on the switch date, with what is left to pay. They are already in your trial balance; a payment after the switch clears them.

  • Unpaid bills at your switch date

    Lands in Calisto as Bills · 15 fields

    Bills you still owe on the switch date, with what is left to pay. They are already in your trial balance; a payment after the switch clears them.

  • Journal history

    Lands in Calisto as Records · 12 fields

    Journal lines, if you want your history in Ledger. Lines dated before your switch date are kept for reference (your trial balance already holds them); later ones post.
