Import template

The wizard can help identify relevant obligations. If you already know the obligations for each entity, you can perform the process in bulk via import.

Add data for import

The 1st thing you will need to do is add your data for the import.
  1. Select
    Administration
    ,
    Company Info
    , then
    Entities
    and
    Export
    to export your entities.
  2. When you export your entities, be sure to have the
    Entity Name
    &
    Entity Code
    in the export.
  3. Next, select
    Calendar
    ,
    Schedule Due Dates
    ,
    Export
    , then
    Export Content Library
    to obtain a list of all obligations currently available from ONESOURCE Calendar.
  4. Select
    Calendar
    ,
    Schedule Due Dates
    ,
    Export
    , then
    Get Import Template
    to download an Excel Template that can be completed to import multiple records.

Complete import template

In this step, you will fill out the following required fields for import.
  • Obligation ID:
    Use the ID from the Content Export Library.
  • Entity ID:
    Use the ID from the Entity export.
  • Entity Name:
    Use the name from the Entity export.
  • Year
  • Year Type (start/end):
    Select

    or
    end
    for how the year (2024) will be interpreted if the tax or reporting year is not an ONESOURCE Calendar year. For example, if the tax year is 2024, you need to indicate if the tax year starts or ends in 2024.
