Chart of Accounts & Accounting Export
Iraca tracks every financial event as a double-entry journal entry using nine internal account types. The Chart of Accounts page lets you map those internal types to the exact account names and numbers used in your accounting software, then export a ready-to-import CSV of your journal entries.
Getting there
Settings → Chart of Accounts
The nine account types
| Iraca account | What it represents |
|---|---|
| Revenue | Sale price on fulfilled orders and POS sales |
| Accounts Receivable | Amount owed by customers on fulfilled orders |
| Cash | Funds received from POS sales |
| Inventory Asset | Raw ingredients and supplies on hand |
| Work in Progress | Ingredient cost tied up in an active production run |
| Finished Goods | Completed products ready to sell |
| Cost of Goods Sold | Cost of products when a sale is made |
| Accounts Payable | Amount owed to suppliers on stock receipts |
| Owner's Equity | Write-offs and adjustments with no external counterparty |
Setting up your mappings
For each row:
- Account Name — enter the name exactly as it appears in your accounting software (e.g.
Raw Materials Inventory,Sales Revenue). This is what appears in the exported CSV and is matched during import. - Account No. — optional, but recommended. Adding your chart-of-accounts number (e.g.
1200) makes import faster and avoids ambiguity when account names are similar.
Tap Save Mappings when done. Mappings are stored per account; you can update them at any time and the next export will use the new names.
If you leave an account name blank, Iraca's default name is used in exports (e.g. "Inventory Asset"). Fill in all nine for the cleanest import experience.
Exporting journal entries

The file contains one row per journal line with these columns:

| Date | Entry date |
| Journal No. | Iraca's internal journal entry ID |
| Description | What triggered the entry (e.g. "Order #SO-00042 fulfilled") |
| Account No. | Your account number (blank if not mapped) |
| Account | Your mapped account name |
| Debit | Debit amount (blank if zero) |
| Credit | Credit amount (blank if zero) |

Tips
- Export and import monthly to keep your books current without large backlogs.

- If a product has no unit cost set, some entries may be missing. Set unit costs under Inventory → Products to ensure full coverage (see Journal Entries).
