Exporting to CaseWare

You can export your AgExpert Analyst accounting data to a file that can be imported into CaseWare Working Papers software. Your accountant can use CaseWare to import your AgExpert Analyst accounting data for electronic processing. 

Note: This process generates a .CWE file that your accountant can then import into CaseWare. 

To export your AgExpert Analyst data:

1. Select Export to CaseWare from the Accountant menu. The Export to CaseWare dialogue box appears.
2. Browse to the location on the hard drive where your AgExpert Analyst data files are located. Select the file to export and click Open. The path and data file name will be displayed in the Analyst File to Export field.
   Note: The Export File Name displays the path and name of the export file created. By default, it’ll be the same as the Analyst File to Export, with a .CWE extension rather than an .AGEX extension. To change the location or name of the export file, click […] to display the Export File Name dialogue box. Browse to the location on the hard drive where the export file will be saved and specify the export file name. Click Open when you’re done.
3. Select the Type of Export, which affects how the data is exported. The options include:
   • Balances Only – You can export current year-to-date balances using either the cash or accrual method. You can also select single enterprises for export. If you choose the cash method, inventory adjustment accounts aren’t exported. Past year opening balances are always 0.00 and past year activity is always exported using the accounting method described in Step 5.
   • Balances and Transactions – You can export current year opening balances. You can’t select single enterprises for export. Balances and transactions are always exported using the accrual accounting method. Past year opening balances are always 0.00.
   Note: When exporting balances and transactions, AgExpert Analyst transactions are automatically mapped to the following CaseWare categories:
4. Select the Accounting Method if the export type is set to Balances Only. You can choose  Cash or Accrual.
   Note: If the export type is set to Balances Only, you can choose the number of enterprises to include in the export file by selecting Enterprise to Export from the drop-down menu. Select All to include all enterprises in the export file, or select an individual enterprise.  
   Note: If the export type is set to Balances and Transactions, the Enterprise to Export is always set to All.
5. Select the fiscal year.
6. Click Export. The export file will be generated and saved to the specified location. To cancel the export process before completion, click Cancel. Once the export is complete, the file is ready for importing through CaseWare.
