# Export of entries

Simax allows you to **export accounting entries** in **FEC format**, as well as in formats compatible with third-party software such as **Sage, Ciel, EBP, and Quadra.**

### **FEC export** 

To **export entries in FEC format** go to:\
**Accounting > Import / Export > Export > FEC export.**

<figure><img src="/files/GERn19z2VldHu0CI7jjr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Enter the **fiscal year** as well as the **file output directory** (on a Windows client).\
If you are using the web version, the **file download will start automatically.**\
Then click **\[\[Save]]** to start generating the file.

{% hint style="success" %}
Only validated entries can be exported.\
To validate entries, perform a period closing:\
**Accounting > Processing > Make a period closure**.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

* After the export, an archive of the FEC file is automatically generated.\
  All generated FEC files can be viewed at any time via:\
  **Accounting > Archives > Archives**.
  {% endhint %}

## Export journal entries

Entries recorded in **secured journals** can be exported **independently from entries** in other journals.\
This is particularly useful, for example, **during a tax audit for cash journal entries**.

To proceed with the export, go to:\
**Accounting > Import / Export > Export > Export a journal**.

Select the **fiscal year**, then the **journal** to export.\
Enter the **output folder** if you are using a **Windows client**.\
In the **web** version, the file download will start automatically.\
Then click **\[\[Save]]** to generate the file.

{% hint style="success" %}

* **Only entries from journals with the Direct entry validation option** can be exported.
* The generated file will be in **FEC format.**
* An **archive is automatically created** and can be viewed at any time via:\
  **Accounting > Archives > Archives.**
  {% endhint %}

### EBP export

Documentation under preparation…

### Quadra export

To export your entries in a format compatible with **Quadra**, go to the menu **Accounting > Import / Export > Exports > Quadra export.**\
At the end of the process, the generated file will be available in the **export directory** defined in your general settings and will contain **all entries from all your fiscal years.**<br>

{% hint style="success" %}
Since **Quadra only accepts two-character matching codes**, the matching codes exported in the file are automatically **recalculated** to comply with this format.
{% endhint %}

### Ciel export

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.simax.fr/documentation-simax-anglais/functional/accounting/import-export-archives/export-of-entries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
