4.  Enter and save the information for the closed historical items. CBS 
marks these items as exported. You may enter one summary amount 
for both YTD payables and payments, or you may create detailed 
records for each closed payable item as far back as the beginning of 
the fiscal year. Continue entering all open items that you do not want 
to include in the current month’s Purchases Journal or to export and 
transfer to the client’s General Ledger in CSA.
