Important! You cannot edit or add CBS layouts in CSA. You must do 
this in the CBS Layout Editor.  
Transactions 
You can create or modify checks and journal entries in CSA and then 
transfer them to your CBS client.  
Note: The CBS client must be using CBS version 2004.4.0 or higher to 
import transactions that were modified or created in CSA. 
Once the client imports these transactions, the client cannot edit the 
transaction, and the transactions will not be exported back to you. If 
these transactions update the checkbook register and you have enabled 
the checkbook reconciliation feature in CBS, these transactions will be 
available for the client to clear during checkbook reconciliation. 
If you edit an accounts payable check in CSA, the program will transfer 
that check adjustment to CBS as a CheckWriter check. The program will 
adjust the balances shown on the financial statements and the 
CheckWriter Transactions List report, but it will not adjust the balances 
on any accounts payable reports. To correctly adjust an incorrect posting 
on an invoice, the client must make the appropriate changes to the source 
payable. 
The following transaction types will not be available for transfer to CBS. 
ƒ 
Accounts payable, accounts receivable, trial balance, budget, and 
reversing journal entries 
ƒ 
Payroll checks 
ƒ 
Adjusting journal entries 
ƒ 
Tax adjustments 
ƒ 
Memorized transactions

Note: Although the program does not transfer payroll checks themselves, 
it does create a payroll journal entry containing enough information 
(check number and amount) to complete a checkbook reconciliation that 
you can transfer.

on Transferring from the index in the CSA help browser, and then
