The following lists outline the documents that can be exported from the system. However, your list of available documents is based on the documents that you have access to in security; for more information about security, see Security Overview.

Transactional Data

Some of the defined formats allow you to export transactional data from system processes. The transactional data comes from the underlying system tables and is read-only and cannot be re-imported.

Note: To access the transactional data defined formats, you will need to manually enable each format in Responsibility (Administration / Document)and assign an access control. For example, select the Export General Ledger Process Documents option to enable the General Ledger Detail format.
