Opening Account Receivable

When shifting to EMP for the first time from your previous accounting system, this function is needed to transfer the opening balance (debit / credit) to EMP. This is very different from Upload Customer List because instead of transferring customer details such as company name, address and contact number, this function transfers the amount owed to / owed by the customer. The opening balances are best brought forward immediately after the EMP is adopted.
